Need to re-activate My sdd, I suppose. Oh well. C‘est La vie!

If you can't get to Power mode 1 then your steering column lock is likely not working.

The lock is a mechanical part try moving the steering wheel to see if you can free the lock.

It should unlock as you dock the key.

good luck

Paul

Hi! Actually,I can get into ‚power mode 2‘. The steering lock is actually not engaged.It just shows on the dash as engaged. This makes the ecu ‚think‘ that it is engaged and blocks the starting possibility. There is a software patch for this particular problem. I have spent most of the day re-configuring My toughbook in order to use the sdd sortware again and will try tomorrow to flash the steering lock ecu with the new patch. I will report.......

That's great news

if you find the answer let us know how to do and if we should do it preemptively

Thanks for the update

Paul
