Steering Column Lock Module (Vim)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Sport and 2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: Diagnosis by substitution from a donor vehicle is NOT acceptable. Substitution of control modules does not guarantee confirmation of a fault, and may also cause additional faults in the vehicle being tested and/or the donor vehicle.

NOTE: If the control module or a component is suspect and the vehicle remains under manufacturer warranty, refer to the Warranty Policy and Procedures information or determine if any prior approval program is in operation, prior to the installation of a new module/component.

NOTE: Generic scan tools may not read the codes listed, or may read only 5-digit codes. Match the 5 digits from the scan tool to the first 5 digits of the 7-digit code listed to identify the fault (the last 2 digits give extra information read by the manufacturer-approved diagnostic system).

NOTE: Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines involving pinpoint tests.

NOTE: Inspect connectors for signs of water ingress, and pins for damage and/or corrosion.

NOTE: If DTCs are recorded and, after performing the pinpoint tests, a fault is not present, an intermittent concern may be the cause. Always check for loose connections and corroded terminals.

The table below lists all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) that could be logged in the Vehicle Immobilizer Module, for additional Diagnosis and Testing information refer to the relevant Diagnosis and Testing.

Ensure the vehicle battery supply voltage is between 9-16Volts. Ensure the column lock bolt movement is not obstructed or restricted (the parked position of the road wheels may be exerting a turning force through the steering column, preventing the lock from releasing. The steering wheel may need to be held against the force to allow the column lock to release). Complete a CAN network integrity test using the manufacturers approved diagnostic system. Perform an on demand self-test and retest. If the problem persists, check and install a new Electric Steering Column Lock. Refer to the warranty policy and procedures information if a module is suspect
