I have the same problem with my Renault megane2 1.6 16v. I did change all my car computers including this one and I did program this Eeprom. After I plugged the steering lock module the car started normally I turn it on and off 5 or 6 times without any problem. but when I take the car key out of its reader the same problem came back! I don't understand why. could you help me, please? Thank you for the very useful video you are making
you a great men, thanks. I have a similar problem, what i can do? i need replace a lock module? can i change only mechanical parts of lock module ? thanks
Eduard Bodrug If you replace the module with a blank and ready to fit, it is plug and play... otherwise all the info is on the video. Hope that helps....
Hi! Nice video, and very well explained! One question... what if i swap the original eeprom, and move it to the new board? the car actually starts and all, it just doesnt lock the steeringwheel... so i have an mechanical issue more than electronic one...
Hi I'm having a few issues with the steering module, steering doesn't lock it just clicks.then I try to start the car and it doesn't start I have to lock the car then unlock and try again take s 4 or 5 times.any ideas where to look.
Hello sir, I have a question if I buy a second-hand one steering modul and just change the ST24/25xx04 chip only from the old one to the new, it's OK? I have Df055 error Eeprom failed activ. Thank you
mirel m Probably not... if the eeprom from the lock that is on the car is corrupted, you will be only moving the problem... You have two options, remove the eeprom from yours and blank it... put it back and see... alternatively you can buy a second hand one, blank the eeprom and that should also work...
Hi pal ... I have the same issue with my megane, I've change the original with a second one, the car starts one time and that's it...if I will send them to you by post can you fix them??? I'm from Cumbria Thanks 😊
thank you for the advice it really assisted me. Do you know of any one who can assist me with that kind of a problem for my Renault. What makes that if I may ask?
Hi, i have an issue with a 2006 renault espace steering lock MOT failure, i took the lock off the steering column to see whats wrong because you could turn the steering wheel to the right with card out, is the lock pi inside the problem? i opend it and now the lock pin doesn't go in...
Ta. Tariku There is usually a small system that engages when the lock is opened, which then prevents the lock to be correctly closed and operational... Just remove that system... Thank you for watching!
Wow job good I love this please can you help me with the problem of renault megane 2000 model the ignition key was broken and I change it now it refuse to start I have try all my best just to measure it start still the problem remains the same please I need some advice and experience from you help me please
on the lock connector pins 3 and 6 are for the can bus to make the lock operate. do you know how to check them? multimeter or a scope? cheers from Porto
@@LMAutoRepairs hi thank you very much for the reply. will be diagnosing a bad lock tomorrow and i am doing the homework, i am new to canbus as i work mostly on older cars, will be using an old 20mhz 2 channels analog scope wich i use for my hifi repair hobby, i dont know what signals to expect in the H and L canbus pins but i guess if i see activity when trying to lock/unlock then i can assume the fault is in the lock itself. "potato logic" like we say here
jasonics md Hi Thank you for watching and for your comment! Unfortunately I can't help you... I never done a megane 3 nor have researched how to... Google might be able to help you...
iive tried on google,many forums,it seems no one has done it yet. esl is same as meg 2 with 24c04 eprom. if u get any info let me know friend. meg 2 is 250kbaud meg 3 500kbaud.
Hi everyone, has anyone tried it so far on megane 3? I had a problem yesterday and tried same way like mk2 but didn't worked. Mechanical part is the same but board is little bit different.. and it's all coated with varnish to make soldering more difficult😭 Luckily, it was a mechanical problem so I swapped out whole board to make it work, but I would like to know if there is a way to virginise it simply like mk2 Thanks in advance
that is what i intend to do.but seeing it working, i do nor know what to search for after disassembling. the car is working fine,olny when i forgot to reset the error message it happens.i was planning to buy a second hand locker and use the old controller.
Brilliant video. Most informative. I need to buy the eeprom reader and cables ect to perform same tas, do you know were i can get them from. Keep up the good work by the way. 👍
Karl Taylor Hi Thank you for watching and for your comment! You can easily get a programmer on eBay for example... It all depends how much you want to spend...
Hi Theoretically I blanked the chip... so when the UCH detected the blank steering lock, just wrote the info again... If that makes sense... Thank you for watching and for your comment!
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?
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... 👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs thanks man, I was afraid of that but it makes sense, ill try to get it off and if not ill make some make shit connector pipe to steer it just to get it on the truck later, thanks again!
my 2004 Renault Megane when I stop the engine, and turn the steering wheel ,I feel clicking like it didn't fully lock and then when I start again the car is fine ,and the clicking goes away and I can just drive back normal ,but it sounds like i need for of these models, where can someone go and get this done ,without having to go to Renault and a crazy money how difficult is it to do what you are doing on the computer or is there a computer?help!!!!
jozzerful2 Hi You can get a second hand lock and follow the procedure in this video... If don't have the meanings to do it, the you need to find someone...
mohamed mohamed Hi Experience... this locks are known to be coded to the car and they are part of the immobilizer.. so you can't just replace it with a second hand one... as this will be coded to the car it came from....
Hi The lock need to be on the unlocked position, in order to come out. I never had to remove one that was not unlocked, surely I will make a video for it when one comes along...
hello friend greetings from canary islands, i have a renault megane with the same problem exactly what you recommend me to do, i have a programmer vvdi prog can i do with this team. can you help me thank you very much...... hola amigo gracias
@@LMAutoRepairs hola amigo con el equipo que te comente vvdi si pude hacer la lectura . pero no puse toda la informacion en blanco de el archivo, el coche sigue igual hay que poner el todo el archio en blanco. gracias por tu a tencion
@LM Auto Repairs hello friend with the team that vvdi told you if I could do the reading. but I did not put all the information in the file blank, the car remains the same, the whole file must be left blank. thanks for your attention
Hi, I tried yesterday to reset and erase 24C04 Eeprom with ICPROG (With hot air solder.... and my Eeprom Programmer with smd/dip adapter) and put it again in my steering lock module but Nothing: Message again Steering Lock Fault A week ago I bought from UK a new virginised one and put today on my car... Message again Steering Lock Fault..... SO WHAT TO DO NOW?
When I just turn on the ignition, the lock works normally and turns on and off, but when I turn on the car, it just turns off but will not lock when the car is turned off. Lm do you know what it could be
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?
Touil Abdelghani I have used the editor from the actually x-prog (the programmer)... That comes with the unit... any other programmer will surely come with its own editor...
Stuck at roadside again :( happend 4 times in the last 5 months the steering wheel says it locked and the workshop do something it starts and the then in a month no go again. Anyone any suggestions?
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! 👍👍👍
Hello will I be able to virginize the chip using UV light instead of this method using the computer? My Renault megane is doing the exact same thing. I've changed the whole steering lock controller and the car started only once after I've changed the steering lock. Now I understand why it started once thanks to your explanation. So at least I'm a bit motivated now, as I had nearly given up.
Hi Not sure if possible with UV... A programmer is quite cheap anyway... you can get one for less than £10... Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Okay, thanks a million! Please confirm that all I need to do is erase(virginaize) the chip I got from the other megane and then it should help clear the steering lock error? And I saw you reading the digits engraved on the faulty chip you were replacing, I'm just curious to know where you used that? Is there anywhere I'll need to enter those digits engraved on the faulty chip I'm replacing?
@@thabolegwate4444 The engraved digits are just the identification of the chip... you don't need to insert them anywhere, is just that you know which chip you are working with... so you select the correct chip when to read it... And yes, should be the only thing you need, providing that there is no other issues with the car...
No there shouldn't be any other issues because it was running perfectly after I changed the engine. The only reason the car won't start now is this steering lock issue. You've been a great help thank you so much, I've been suffering with this issue for months now... Only Lord knows how grateful I am! Can' thank you enough.
Se hizo todo como dice el vídeo, pero después de un rato de estar prendido. Se apagó y no volvió a encender!! 😭😭😭😭😭 Que puede ser!!! Auxilio help me!!!
Hi my friend, I need to read and reset mine. Please let me know which windows program did you use to read and write eeprom and which kind of adapter did you use to put the eeprom inside. Thanks
hello. i have some kind of the same problem,but my car acts a little bit different.after i press stop button (to stop the car) i receive a mesage of "steering not locked" and a sound like something is hitting the steering column and the steering wheel moves a little bit.if i do not reset the error by pressing one again the stop button,next time whne i try to start,it will not start.only pushed.i have dissmounted the steering lock and it is moving normal. do you have any ideea? thank you and sorry for long post.
Hi Thank you for watching my video! By your explanation, your steering lock is not working properly... You might have missed something when you had it open... have you open it completely?
Hi Not every car is the same necessarily... I never did that one, so not sure... But I would say on an Audi is most likely different... Thank you for watching!
i have same problem but when i shaking my steering wheel car start up....so that modul works fine but i think he losing connection or something pls help
Could you use a new chip which is blank or does it need to be the one from the module ? What version of Renault CLIP software do you use ? Superb videos BTW and you make it all look sooo easy.
ok, thanks. I only asked cause the interface looks much better than the new version and I prefer windows XP for all my programming. All the best to you for sharing your videos.
i ve just order that product i see when he came!i have another question for you do you have anny ideea if another parts of steering fault repair work on my car if i buy from another car end i do the same thing you do in this video?
Ionut Dascaliuc ok... your question is a bit confused... but if you buy the whole steering column it will come with a steering lock which you will need to virginize(as per the video...)... Otherwise the steering will not unlock... Hope that helps...
I've been having trouble starting my car I just hear clicking so I took the module off and the bolt that comes out I use a screwdriver to push in and out a few times and that seems to off done the trick for me anyway..
Hey up have the same car and my stearing lock keeps saying not locked would this be the same thing. my car starts just here a little bit of clicking when turning the wheel :-)
Carp Guy2016 Depends... not all garages are able to do this, and the replacement is often the easiest option. You can look on eBay for example, and look at the price... usually about £60 reseted. (Same procedure as per the video...)
@@LMAutoRepairs Thanks. My friend call me today with the same situation, as on your video... But car just don't want to start on the road.. so we starting to find a quick fix... After a lot of tries he started the engine by manual moving of locking block, and run car to parking... but that was a last chance, after that it finally stopped. As I understand fastest way to fix it on the road is a cheap chinese steering wheel blocking emulator, because he cant find service, that can help him to fix it
Hello my friend I wonder an explanation of inertia switch operator fiat doblo 1.6 diesel 2015 My fiat makes an accident the engine will not start and warning lights flashing I do a diagnosis by autocom the fault code is U 0427 Inertia function : present What the solution about this
Med téchnicien Hi The car been involved in some sort of accident, correct? There is a procedure to be followed to allow the engine to be restarted... Something along these lines: turn ignition key to MAR; * turn on right turn signal; * turn off right turn signal; * turn on left turn signal; * turn off left turn signal; * turn on right turn signal; * turn off right turn signal; * turn on left turn signal; * turn off left turn signal; * turn ignition key to STOP.
Yvie Stevenson I usually close it down and fit it in the unlocked position... but that shouldn't really make a difference... If the reset is done correctly, the lock will sync with the UCH and that's it...
LM Auto Repairs I found in the description of bdm 100 that it reads the software for the following 29BL802 SSOP eprom file (or ROM memory with maps if eprom physically not present); MOTOROLA MPC5xx Processor file; Serial Eprom content. So can it be used or not?
@@ahmedesmat6137 You have not researched enough... 29bl802 is a flash memory... Mpc555 or similar is a MPC... The memory I am reading from this steering lock is completely different... Research more and you will see that bdm100 will not be much of a help in this case..
Another ask, Do I need to use at the end also Renault Clip device to reset all or to recode the new Steering Lock or just put the virginised one and push start? I don't want to buy Renault Clip and Software to use only for Renault Cars...
So, If I buy a new or recoded "Virginised" one from ebay, just to put after i get out mine, and push Start button, it might be work? As you know, is it possible that there is a bigger problem on the Steering and my car gives the same error on display that is not only an electric problem, that if I buy a virginised one and put it on my car will not work because of it?
I would buy in the future the Can Clip device, I have just the software, as you know, could be good and useful for another car or just only Renault and maybe Nissan motor cars for the future, do you suggest to buy? Now I have only a OBD Elm bluetooth device and Android App like Torque, OBD Doctor, Dash Command that in the specific case doesn't work to reset errors
Patrick Pat OK, it should work... Most os the problems with this system is the 'locking mechanism/module'... So if replace it should fix the problem. Unless, very unlikely though, that you have a problem with the steering shaft...
Patrick Pat Clip does only renault... There is although, some versions of the Consult (Nissan diagnostic tool), that can do both... If you want a tool do do different cars, then might be better you research a bit more... Depending on how much you wand to be able to do on cars, and how much you want to spend, there is several options out there... Hope that helps.
Hi Not sure if I understand your question... But u would say yes... blank the chip, put it back, connect and turn ignition on... Thank you for watching!
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?
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...
My car Saab9-3 got the same problem and I wanna rest the fault code! You know how can I know which eeprom should I choose? There is no information on internet! Valeo SCL modules name name. Tnx for your time 🙌
No... that is not what I said... If you open the module, you can relatively easily identify the different components... What I said is, the reset of the eeprom most likely is not done the same way as the one on this video... You can always try, but I have doubts that it will work... What is the issue you are having any way?
@rmt5820 OK... but that doesn't necessarily means you have the same issue... The electronic steering locks, have little motors and microswitches that can fail... So, though you might have the same symptoms, doesn't mean you have the same problem... You need to start by scanning the car, look at live data to see if anything points into any direction...
i didn't disassembled the locker,just took it out and i saw it working - pussing big pin out and in,like it was supposed to do.but mounted on the steering wheel, engine didn't start.also,in day by day, the steering wheel is not locked at all.
You are my lost hope i did every possible thing but eventually i bought a new one for more then 400euro, but nothing happened. The lock is new from the dealer in box so he was empty. When i push the start/stop button i hear something like an airco and inside my backmirror their is something also like a small motor/ airco making noise. 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 . Then service and steering lock dispears and then when i want to start everything is resetting. What could it be...
@@LMAutoRepairs Before i changed the whole unit ( steering lock). i got the following codes. DF002: Key Colomn, intern electronic defect lock colomn. DF010:combination circle lever under the handlebar not properly connected DF009 circuit +APC incoherentie df 031 , df 027. The garage deleted all except the df 002, that's why i thought i would change the unit. What can i do, because when i try to start the car, with star/stop button. everything is resetting and the airco i hear, and i can't even put my windows up anymore, THE update is after i put on a new unit like your video, it says, electronic malfunction. Is it possible you could help me, if i make a video?, because the garage and everyone have no idea about the electronic things... I was thinking when i try to start the car i hear clicking and i believe that are they fuses, but the garage told me he checked them. i have no idea what to do.. thank you my friend
Hello, what is the procedure for resetting the locker to unlock, before I remove it from another vehicle? Do you know anything about it? Thank you for the video! Very useful :))
Not really sure... if renolink can do anything to it... this is the only procedure I am aware of... but I will try next time I have one around... Thank you for watching!
LM Auto Repairs the first part of the issue is that I can’t separate it from the steering wheel assembly. It’s locked. I can’t extract the screw. Can you help me please? Thank you:)
Bili Kid Hi It might be a video on how to take it out, I never captured it due to how simple it is. You have one bolt and one plug... that's it. This part is the steering lock. Search for "renault megane steering lock " and you will find it. EBay is a good place...
Bili Kid If you buy it brand new, it is plug and play. On eBay, for example, you will see that there is sellers selling them already reset and ready to fit.
Mike Jones They don't need to... each car is different... even on different megane the data would be different... That's why they are not interchangeable... each lock contains the data that locks the steering lock to that car....
i-Bird Well... you still need to remove the steering lock and do whatever... If the steering lock is locked and won't unlock, it is a bit tricky to remove it, but can be done...
lmsvvavr when I first got the car steering lock worked a couple of times drove no problems. last week constant L E D and stop sign on dash won't start there is a click from the reader when you press the button to start then nothing . I've done the fuses cleaned no water damage + ecu good new 6 months ago +battery good + all connections good live + earth cleaned put back. going to have a look at the key card module not sure if it's anything to do with that . so with the steering look worn now do I unplug and put back. thanks
Hi, before thanks a lot about recording this video.!! I want to ask you about if is posible to buy a new one unit of 24c04 eprom (maybe this unit came erased in FFFFFFF all) My problem is the next: 2 years ago have a problem wiht this. my solution was go to a scrapping cars and take a used unit. After i changed the circuit board from my car to the steering lock that i buyed. 2 weeks ago i had the same problem and i made the same thing, 1 week ago, i have again the message of blocked steering. I tried again buying the used steering, but now i cant make it works. So what i should to make now. I was thinking about to buy a new one 24c04 and replace it, but i dont know if it is possible, or is mandatory to use the old 24c04 epprom from the steering circuit of the car??. Thanks a lot.!
F.A. M Hi Thank you for watching and for your comment! A brand new eprom should come empty... so should work... Do you have a programmer, to read and write chips?
i ask you this because i have not a programmer to write chips, and i was thinking to buy only the eeprom and change it. If it was not posible i will have to buy the programmer and try like you. I ask you because o didnt know if the eeprom has more information inside like a Vin code or other.
F.A. M I really apologise... only saw you message now... A new EEPROM should come empty a filled with FFFF... but not necessarily... Ask the seller of he can do it before send it to you...

Probably not... if the eeprom from the lock that is on the car is corrupted, you will be only moving the problem...

Hi
What exactly are you looking for?
on the lock connector pins 3 and 6 are for the can bus to make the lock operate. do you know how to check them? multimeter or a scope? cheers from Porto
Scope...

@@LMAutoRepairs hi thank you very much for the reply. will be diagnosing a bad lock tomorrow and i am doing the homework, i am new to canbus as i work mostly on older cars, will be using an old 20mhz 2 channels analog scope wich i use for my hifi repair hobby, i dont know what signals to expect in the H and L canbus pins but i guess if i see activity when trying to lock/unlock then i can assume the fault is in the lock itself. "potato logic" like we say here

Yes... that should be enough...

Hi
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Unfortunately I can't help you... I never done a megane 3 nor have researched how to...
Google might be able to help you...
iive tried on google,many forums,it seems no one has done it yet. esl is same as meg 2 with 24c04 eprom. if u get any info let me know friend. meg 2 is 250kbaud meg 3 500kbaud.
Hi everyone, has anyone tried it so far on megane 3?
I had a problem yesterday and tried same way like mk2 but didn't worked. Mechanical part is the same but board is little bit different.. and it's all coated with varnish to make soldering more difficult😭 Luckily, it was a mechanical problem so I swapped out whole board to make it work, but I would like to know if there is a way to virginise it simply like mk2
Thanks in advance
Hi sir, u can use renolink to verginize the EPS

that is what i intend to do.but seeing it working, i do nor know what to search for after disassembling. the car is working fine,olny when i forgot to reset the error message it happens.i was planning to buy a second hand locker and use the old controller.

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?
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, I tried yesterday to reset and erase 24C04 Eeprom with ICPROG (With hot air solder.... and my Eeprom Programmer with smd/dip adapter) and put it again in my steering lock module but Nothing: Message again Steering Lock Fault
A week ago I bought from UK a new virginised one and put today on my car... Message again Steering Lock Fault..... SO WHAT TO DO NOW?
Patrick Pat
You have a fault elsewhere...
Have you scanned the car?
lmsvvavr I have an OBD little interface but I cannot do if I cannot switch on...
When I just turn on the ignition, the lock works normally and turns on and off, but when I turn on the car, it just turns off but will not lock when the car is turned off. Lm do you know what it could be
Either a mechanical fault with the lock, or a similar issue as per the video...
Difficult to tell without checking...
Thank you for watching!
@@LMAutoRepairs Thank you
Hi
Possibly is...
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.
In your case, looks like you had multiple issues...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
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?
whats the name of the program that you used to erase the data FFFFFF's ? give me a link to downlaod it pls!!
Touil Abdelghani
I have used the editor from the actually x-prog (the programmer)...
That comes with the unit... any other programmer will surely come with its own editor...
Stuck at roadside again :( happend 4 times in the last 5 months the steering wheel says it locked and the workshop do something it starts and the then in a month no go again. Anyone any suggestions?
Why didn't you simply swap the EEEProm chips or the entire PCB?
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!

Hello will I be able to virginize the chip using UV light instead of this method using the computer? My Renault megane is doing the exact same thing. I've changed the whole steering lock controller and the car started only once after I've changed the steering lock. Now I understand why it started once thanks to your explanation. So at least I'm a bit motivated now, as I had nearly given up.
Hi
Not sure if possible with UV...
A programmer is quite cheap anyway... you can get one for less than £10...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Okay, thanks a million! Please confirm that all I need to do is erase(virginaize) the chip I got from the other megane and then it should help clear the steering lock error?
And I saw you reading the digits engraved on the faulty chip you were replacing, I'm just curious to know where you used that? Is there anywhere I'll need to enter those digits engraved on the faulty chip I'm replacing?
@@thabolegwate4444
The engraved digits are just the identification of the chip... you don't need to insert them anywhere, is just that you know which chip you are working with... so you select the correct chip when to read it...
And yes, should be the only thing you need, providing that there is no other issues with the car...
No there shouldn't be any other issues because it was running perfectly after I changed the engine. The only reason the car won't start now is this steering lock issue. You've been a great help thank you so much, I've been suffering with this issue for months now... Only Lord knows how grateful I am! Can' thank you enough.

I do a diagnosis by autocom the fault code is U 0427 Inertia function : present
What the solution about this

Hi
The car been involved in some sort of accident, correct?
There is a procedure to be followed to allow the engine to be restarted...
Something along these lines:
turn ignition key to MAR;
* turn on right turn signal;
* turn off right turn signal;
* turn on left turn signal;
* turn off left turn signal;
* turn on right turn signal;
* turn off right turn signal;
* turn on left turn signal;
* turn off left turn signal;
* turn ignition key to STOP.
Please can you fix mine if I post it to you , I can pay up front.
when finished how do you re- connect the lock back in to the car ?
Yvie Stevenson
What do you mean with connect?
do I have it unlocked or locked when re connecting, how do I plug it back in lol

Can I use bdm 100 to read the rom and reprogram it again ?
Hi
I don't think bdm100 can read this eeprom... only mpc555...

MOTOROLA MPC5xx Processor file;
Serial Eprom content.
So can it be used or not?
@@ahmedesmat6137
You have not researched enough...
29bl802 is a flash memory...

Another ask, Do I need to use at the end also Renault Clip device to reset all or to recode the new Steering Lock or just put the virginised one and push start? I don't want to buy Renault Clip and Software to use only for Renault Cars...
Patrick Pat
Just put it back...
No need clip...
Might need to clear codes, but for that any reader will do...
So, If I buy a new or recoded "Virginised" one from ebay, just to put after i get out mine, and push Start button, it might be work?
As you know, is it possible that there is a bigger problem on the Steering and my car gives the same error on display that is not only an electric problem, that if I buy a virginised one and put it on my car will not work because of it?
I would buy in the future the Can Clip device, I have just the software, as you know, could be good and useful for another car or just only Renault and maybe Nissan motor cars for the future, do you suggest to buy? Now I have only a OBD Elm bluetooth device and Android App like Torque, OBD Doctor, Dash Command that in the specific case doesn't work to reset errors
Patrick Pat
OK, it should work...
Most os the problems with this system is the 'locking mechanism/module'...
So if replace it should fix the problem.
Unless, very unlikely though, that you have a problem with the steering shaft...
Patrick Pat
Clip does only renault...
There is although, some versions of the Consult (Nissan diagnostic tool), that can do both...
If you want a tool do do different cars, then might be better you research a bit more...
Depending on how much you wand to be able to do on cars, and how much you want to spend, there is several options out there...
Hope that helps.

Open the lock and inspect...

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.

2 the car makes ticking noises and breezing air
3 . Then service and steering lock dispears and then when i want to start everything is resetting.

So what i should to make now. I was thinking about to buy a new one 24c04 and replace it, but i dont know if it is possible, or is mandatory to use the old 24c04 epprom from the steering circuit of the car??.
Thanks a lot.!

Hi
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
A brand new eprom should come empty... so should work...
Do you have a programmer, to read and write chips?
i ask you this because i have not a programmer to write chips, and i was thinking to buy only the eeprom and change it. If it was not posible i will have to buy the programmer and try like you.
I ask you because o didnt know if the eeprom has more information inside like a Vin code or other.
Is it work are you try to replace 24c04 with new one

I really apologise... only saw you message now...
A new EEPROM should come empty a filled with FFFF... but not necessarily...
Ask the seller of he can do it before send it to you...
