⚠️ Why These Faults Happen

  • Internal motor or lock mechanism wear
  • Failed electronic components
  • PCB and solder joint fatigue
  • BGA-related processor faults
  • Voltage spikes or battery-related damage
  • Water ingress and corrosion

Modern electronic steering lock and ignition systems are highly integrated and often fail progressively over time.

🔧 What Systems Do We Repair?

We repair a wide range of electronic access and immobiliser-related systems, including:

  • Electronic Steering Locks (ESL / ELV)
  • Electronic Ignition Switches (EIS / EZS)
  • Immobiliser modules
  • Vehicle keys and key communication faults
  • PCB and solder joint failures inside control modules

Many faults are repairable at component level without replacing the entire system.

📦 How Our Mail-In Repair Process Works

  1. Submit your repair order or contact us with symptoms and fault codes
  2. Package and send the module or key to our workshop
  3. We test and diagnose the unit
  4. You receive repair confirmation or quote approval
  5. Your repaired module is returned ready for reinstall

Depending on the vehicle platform, some systems may require coding or synchronisation after reinstall.

🧠 Why Repair The Original Module?

  • Avoid compatibility issues with second-hand units
  • Retain original vehicle data and configuration
  • Avoid unnecessary immobiliser programming complications
  • Many new modules require dealer-level setup

Repairing the original module is often the fastest and most reliable solution.

⚠️ Not Sure Which Module Is Faulty?

Some no-start and key recognition faults may also be caused by:

  • Battery voltage issues

  • CAN communication issues
  • ECU or immobiliser communication faults

If you’re unsure, send us:
