The MK3 Volvo Steering Lock Emulator is designed to replace the factory ELV/ESL steering lock system found in Volvo S40, C70, C30 and V50 vehicles.
These vehicles frequently experience steering lock failures, where the ignition turns on but the car refuses to start because the ELV module does not unlock.

This emulator replicates the communication of the original steering lock (SCL) and restores start authorization once programmed.
It includes OEM-style lock sound, high-quality circuitry, and color-coded wiring for easy installation.

Important: This version requires programming/learning from the vehicle’s CEM/SCL signals before installation.

Manufactured by MK3, the emulator provides a reliable and cost-effective alternative to replacing and reprogramming the original steering lock unit.

⚙️ Technical Overview

The factory ELV steering lock contains mechanical components that commonly fail with age.
When the ELV fails:

• The key turns

• The ignition activates

• But the steering lock does not respond, preventing the vehicle from starting

Volvo dealerships require replacing the entire ELV/SCL module and programming it — costly and time-consuming.

The MK3 Volvo Steering Lock Emulator resolves this by electronically simulating the SCL module after learning the required synchronization data from the vehicle.
Once programmed, the emulator permanently bypasses steering lock issues.

🛠️ Installation Instructions

Programming (Learning Mode)

1. Connect the emulator to the vehicle to read CEM/SCL communication.

2. The emulator begins flashing red + green — this indicates learning mode.

3. Connect the CAN wires to the original steering lock module.

4. Insert the key into ignition — emulator turns green.

5. Turn the key again — emulator stays green and saves the synchronization code.

6. Remove all temporary connections (red, green, black wires).

7. Finally, connect the emulator to the vehicle’s steering lock plug.

LED Behavior

• Green Light: Successful programming, vehicle ready to start

• Red Light: Error / mismatched data

• No Light: Check wiring and power supply
