Notify me when its in stockThe Volvo XC90 New Version 2021+ Steering Lock Emulator is a plug-and-start solution designed to replace the faulty ELV/ESL steering column lock system found in modern Volvo vehicles. When the original steering lock fails, the car will not start even if the key and ignition system are fully functional. This emulator bypasses the defective ELV module instantly and restores vehicle start authorization without any programming.
Designed for the latest SPA-platform Volvos, this new-generation emulator supports vehicles from 2021 and newer and includes OEM-style lock sound simulation. Installation is fast—just connect and start the vehicle.
Steering lock failure is one of the most common no-start issues in Volvo vehicles. Dealership replacement requires ordering and programming a new ELV unit, which is costly and time-consuming. This emulator provides an efficient, affordable fix with immediate results.

⚙️ Technical Overview
The ELV (Electronic Steering Lock) contains mechanical components that can fail naturally over time. When this failure occurs:
• The vehicle key is fully functional
• Ignition is responsive
• But the car will not start because the ELV cannot activate
Volvo dealerships require installing and programming a brand-new ELV unit to solve this, resulting in:
• High replacement cost
• Long waiting times
• Mandatory coding procedures
This emulator bypasses the faulty ELV entirely and restores normal engine start authorization instantly—no coding or adaptation needed.
🛠️ Installation Instructions
Remove the ELV connector from the original steering lock unit.
Ensure the steering lock is in UNLOCKED state (steering wheel free).
Connect the vehicle's ELV plug to the emulator.
Start the vehicle:
• Green LED ON → System ready
• Red LED blinking → Clear faults with any diagnostic tool
Installation takes only seconds.
