[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 269642, member: 4527"] aiyooo...... lemon steering... stay away from me.. !!! :68: So let me clarify about the problem: [B]Symptom/situation:[/B] when insert key, steering lock sign appear, sometime yellow, sometime red.. and when it happens, car cannot start! The ELV (Electronic Steering Lock) check control warning illuminates in the instrument cluster and in some cases, engine start is inhibited. Diagnostics reveals fault code A0AA in the CAS (Car Access System) and prompts a control unit replacement. If car cannot start, remove the key, lock and unlock car again and danc's method is remove the key, turn the steering until it locks, then insert key to try starting her up again. [B]Cause:[/B] Low voltages in the vehicle electrical system when cranking/starting the engine. [B]Resolutions:[/B] 1) SW update 2) Replace steering lock mechanism 3) Replace entire steering column. Now am very worry... :( [/QUOTE]
