ALP46 Steering lock fails
NOTESCheck for any faults on the steering lock.
Check the battery voltage. It should be between 9 V and 16 V.
Check the validity of parameter PR008 "Vehicle speed".
Check for any faults in the Airbag computer (impact detected) and ABS/ESP

–over 20 minutes passing with the card in the card reader after the engine has stopped,
–the vehicle speed is not zero,
–power being requested by the steering column lock too frequently.
With regard to vehicles fitted with UCH computer Vdiag 4F or above:
–the Renault card is removed from the card reader when the vehicle is in forced + after ignition feed,
–3 mins have elapsed following a starting failure due to an engaged gear,
–the Renault card is removed from the card reader following a starting failure due to an engaged gear,
–a front door is open following a starting failure due to an engaged gear and the card is not in the reader.
