Product Overview: Permanent Solution for Next-Generation Volvo Steering Lock Failure

This device is a permanent solution developed for the Electronic Steering Lock (ELV/ESL) failure commonly found in Volvo S90, Volvo V90, Volvo XC90, Volvo XC60, Volvo V60, and Volvo XC40 (2015–2019 SPA & CMA platforms).

This fault typically causes the vehicle not to start or the ignition not to respond.

The official dealership solution is expensive and requires ordering a new steering lock unit with complex online programming.
This emulator is designed to permanently bypass the faulty mechanical steering lock system.

No Programming Required (Plug & Play)

Unlike some systems (such as Mercedes W204 emulators), this unit does NOT require coding or programming.
Once connected, it immediately sends a “steering lock unlocked” signal to the vehicle.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Turn off the ignition.
2. Disconnect the socket from the faulty original ESCL unit.
3. IMPORTANT: If the steering lock is stuck in the locked position, remove the lock mechanically first.
4. Connect the emulator to the vehicle’s original socket.
5. Connect a professional diagnostic tool.
6. Access the CEM module (or relevant system) and clear all steering lock fault codes.
7. Start the vehicle.

LED Status Indicators

The emulator mimics the original steering lock status:

• Solid GREEN Light:
  Status: Successful. Steering lock is unlocked and vehicle is ready to start.
• Solid RED Light:
  Status: Steering lock is locked (normal when ignition is OFF).
• Flashing RED Light:
  Status: Error. Fault codes in the CEM module have not been cleared.
  → Connect a diagnostic tool and reset the errors.
