APPRO2 Mercedes-Benz Steering Lock Replacement Guide

Mercedes-Benz models 204, 207and 212 may experience steering lock (ESL/ELV) failures, causing no-start issues. This guide outlines two replacement methods, with Method 2 (direct data calculation and writing it into ELV by APPRO2 APP2) recommended for safety.


Replacement Methods

Method 1: Erase & Synchronize Lock Data

Steps:

1. Retrieve the key code.

2. Save the original lock EIS data (includes key password).

3. Erase the lock data and clear TP protection.

4. Write back the saved EIS data to the new lock.

5. Synchronize data to the steering lock (ESL).

6. Insert the working key to activate.


Disadvantage: Risk of lock damage if data erasure fails.

Method 2: Direct Data Calculation (Recommended)

2. Save the original EIS data (includes key password).

3. Upload EIS data to the server to calculate ESL sync data.

4. Erase the new steering lock and clear TP protection.

5. Write the calculated ESL data to the lock.

Troubleshooting

Locked CPU? Repair or replace the ELV module if empty/personalized operations fail.


Conclusion:

For reliable Mercedes-Benz steering lock replacement, Method 2 with APPRO APP2 Key Programmer is the safer choice. Always ensure proper tool connectivity (OBD-K adapter) and follow status checks to avoid errors.
