The Nissan Micra & Kicks Steering Lock Emulator is a plug-and-play solution designed to replace faulty ESL/ELV steering lock units used in Nissan’s 2018–2025 platforms. When the OEM steering lock fails, the vehicle will not start even if the key and ignition system are fully functional. This emulator bypasses the defective module entirely, instantly restoring ignition functionality without programming.

Manufactured by MK3, the unit is built for long-term durability and includes integrated lock-sound simulation for OEM-like behavior. It uses a single easy-fit connector, making installation simple and quick—even for diagnostic purposes.

Steering lock failure is one of the most common issues in Micra & Kicks models due to mechanical ELV defects. This emulator eliminates the need for expensive dealer replacement, long waiting times, and immobilizer programming procedures.

⚙️ How Steering Lock Failure Happens

The ELV (steering column lock) contains mechanical components that can fail randomly. When this happens:

• The key works normally
• Ignition turns on
• The vehicle refuses to start because the ELV does not unlock

Dealer procedure normally requires ordering a new ELV module and programming it — a costly and time-consuming process.
This emulator bypasses the ELV completely and restores vehicle start instantly.
