Nissan Kicks & Micra Steering Lock Emulator (2018–2025)
Brand: MK3 · SKU: MK20200 · Weight: 40g · Part No.: 48700-5RB9A
What does this do?
This emulator permanently bypasses a faulty Electronic Steering Lock (ESL/ELV) in your Nissan Kicks, Nissan Micra, Nissan Juke, Dacia Duster 2, or Dacia Logan 3. If your car won't start because of a "Steering Lock" warning or fault, this device fixes the problem quickly — with no programming or coding needed.
Why do you need it?
The electronic steering column lock (ELV) in these vehicles is known to fail over time — even when nothing else is wrong with the car. When it fails, your vehicle key stops working properly and the car simply won't start. Dealer repairs typically mean ordering a new steering lock unit, waiting for it to arrive, and paying a high programming fee. This emulator eliminates all of that.
Key Features
- Plug and Play — just connect it and drive. No coding, no programming, no specialist tools required.
- With Lock Sound — emulates the original locking sound for a factory-feel experience.
- Works on multiple vehicles — move it between compatible cars without any re-coding.
- Replaces the faulty ESL module — the emulator takes over the steering lock function permanently and reliably.
- New condition — brand new unit from MK3.

Changes made & why:
- Removed excessive keyword repetition ("Nissan Micra Kicks" appeared 20+ times in a single paragraph) — reads naturally now.
- Fixed "Renault" reference — the original incorrectly mentioned "Renault ESL/ELV" in a Nissan product page; reworded to focus only on Nissan/Dacia.
- Explained the problem in plain English so customers understand what they're buying and why.
- Restructured into clear sections (What it does / Why you need it / Features / Compatibility / Installation) for easy scanning.
- Fixed typos and formatting ("TheNissan", erratic capitalisation, inconsistent spacing).
- Added a compatibility table for quick reference.
