194001772 - E7065 ELECTRIC STEERING LOCK - DESCRIPTION (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION)

The steering lock device allows the vehicle protection and engine start-up system to be managed in a specific way.The system is managed by the steering lock control unit that controls and governs the entire steering column lock/release system electrically via special actuators.The steering lock control unit node, part of the CAN network, distributes vehicle power to supply ignition-operated power supplies INT, INT/A, 15/54 and 50.    See E1010 POWER SUPPLYAccordig to the position of the key (TEG) inside the ignition device, the steering lock control unit determines: the +15 power supply enablement request to the Body Computer (ON position), vehicle start-up +50 (START position) and, if this is successful, the distribution of power to the vehicle and the associated loads (INT, INT/A, 15/54).During the start-up stage, as the key is turned to the START position, the clutch pedal (or the brake pedal during recovery) is pressed simultaneously for versions with a manual gearbox while the brake pedal is pressed on versions with an automatic transmission.On versions with an automatic transmission, the gearlever must be in position P (PARK) as an additional condition. For further details,    See E5010 STARTING AND RECHARINGThe steering release is activated when the TEG is inserted in the ignition device with the associated recognition.The steering is locked with the TEG in OFF position, unless the safety condition that requires continuity of steering release at a vehicle speed higher than 4 km/h is not respected. In this case, the user is notified by a signal via the NQS. "The steering will not be locked".
