Hi
In this video I take you through the repair of a Renault Megane steering lock fault.
I have replaced the faulty steering lock with a second hand one, but because this locks are coded to the UCH (Body control module), you can not just straight swap them.
First they need to be blanked, virginized, deprogrammed or whatever you might want to call it, In this video is exactly what I will show you how to do.
A bit of info that I have missed on the video, the tampering safety mechanism can actually de retained, a bit more work, and needs to be done in a certain sequence, if I ever need to do this again, and if I remember, I will make a video show you how...

Hey there, I have a basically broken Renault Laguna, very similair steerling lock box, I am taking out of the car what I can still use (I bought a newer Laguna) and then im going to get rid of it but the steering lock is currently locked, I took off the ermm pin module between the steering shaft and the steering wheel, the bit that holds this steeringlockbox on it. My question is, how can I get it off or how can I just unlock it so I can steer the car, so when they come and get the car, it wont be as much of a hassle?

@LMAutoRepairs Жыл бұрын

There is no easy way to remove it if the steering is locked... you need to dig into it, cut or drill the bolts... surely you find a way... perhaps, remove the steering column... Will be easier to work on it when outside... 👍👍👍

Hi, What you mean with scanned? you mean with Renault Clip device? No, I have just an OBD ELM interface that doesn't work. Hey, Renault Clip could work or not before you solve problem? Does it communicate via CAN interface also with the problem? I would like now to check my ECU, 3 Connectors, and also to take out my ECU to open and see if there is oxid somewhere inside, I noticed oxid on the connectors. Another way I want to take is to buy the complete kit: ECU UCH Key and Steering Lock from an other Megan Car, is it a good idea?

@LMAutoRepairs 7 жыл бұрын

Patrick Pat That will might work, but might not... If your problem is for example a wire problem, that will obviously is not going to solve your problem. Scan the car first... Does not need to be with clip, see a garage, they can scan it... See if there is something that might point you in some direction...

Why didn't you simply swap the EEEProm chips or the entire PCB?

@LMAutoRepairs 5 жыл бұрын

Because the idea of this video was to demonstrate how to reutilise the lock... If the issue with the original lock was mechanical, yes, swapping the eprom or the whole pcb would work... But this locks can sometimes corrupt the eprom data, which in that case this is the only solution... Thank you for watching and for your comment! 👍👍👍

I had the same problem on a Megane 2 but the real reason it didn't worked was because of poor contact between the steering lock(pin 5) and the fuseboard in the engine compartment on the +12v after ignition. Or poor contact between the engine compartment fuse box and cabin computer same link +12v after ignition. I cleaned them and the 2 related fuses terminals and car works ok for now. Didn't have anything to do with it's 24c04 memory. I don't understand if the guy had problem with the 24c04 memory geting its data altered , why didn't he changed it with a new one? Before starting to blame the steering lock do a can clip diagnostic. Even if it's made by Valeo. it will tell you exactly it's problems. These cars at their age start to develop issues with their connector terminals. Either they corode, oxyde or get burn because of the high contact resistance.

Hi You was talking about recode the lock, do I understand it this way, after you virginised the lock, it will automatically code the right way first-time you start the car? 🤔 What interface do you use with Canclip, can I use the VCI J2534 from the Autel IM608? 🤔 Instead of de-solder the eeprom, couldn't you just use the clip and read?

Further i hear when i push the button a ticking noise but i cant but my car on. Everytime i push the button it will turn of and then one , everytime. In the garage they told me that it was the lock so i replaced the lock. My car is in front of my house because i used a cable and a friends car to put him here. I was wondering if you have any last ideas. The things he does is. 1 put key inside and pushes button start/stop 2 the car makes ticking noises and breezing air 3 .
