Why do you need Nissan ESCL emulator:
Nissan owners have been fed up with not being able to start their cars due to a ESCL defect. In fact, you probably don’t want to get them started on it. However, a new service campaign means defective steering locks will at least be fixed in the 2009-2010 Altima and Maxima.
For years, there have been widespread defects in the Electronic Steering Column Lock (ESCL) that disabled the push-button ignition in a wide range of Nissan and Infiniti vehicles.
The ESCL’s primary job is to keep the steering wheel locked until you bring your key fob in range of the vehicle. It’s meant to prevent theft. Once the ESCL detects the your key fob, it unlocks the steering wheel and lets you go on your merry way.
But it doesn’t always work.
Even with the fob present and working, the ESCL won’t detect it and, therefore, won’t release it’s iron grip on the wheel. In essence, it thinks you’re a thief and it won’t let you leave.
