Electronic Ignition Faults and Repairs – Mercedes ESL, EIS and IR Keys

  • Mercedes EIS (Electronic Ignition Switch) fault repairs
  • Mercedes I.R. Key fault repairs
  • Mercedes ESL (Electronic Steering Lock) fault repairs

We operate an array of equipment to solve issues with Mercedes IR keys, electronic steering locks (Mercedes ESL) and Electronic Ignition (Mercedes EIS). Typical failures include:

  • De-syned Mercedes I.R. Keys. These can often be reprogrammed into the vehicle
  • Failed circuit boards on I.R. Keys. New keys can be supplied and programmed
  • Corrupted data on Mercedes EIS or ESL. This data can often be restored, but not always.
  • Failed Mercedes EIS. A new or used EIS of the same model can be coded to your car.
  • Failed ESL, steering lock off. We can program an emulator to replace the ESL, working alongside the EIS. The Original ESL can stay in situ.
  • Failed ESL, steering lock on. This requires the removal of some of the dashboard and the steering column to remove the ESL which is locked into position. Once the ESL is removed, the steering column is replaced, an ESL emulator is implemented and programmed to replace the ESL and work alongside the EIS.

Mini Key Slot Fault Repairs

BMW Minis (as opposed to classic minis) have used a number of security and key systems over the years. The Cas 3 key slot is featured here, as it is an electronic key slot system, with a number of known faults.

  • Firstly, the keys can de-sync from the immobiliser and sometimes these can be recovered and reprogrammed to the vehicle
  • The dash slot system can also fail, as the plastic and electronic parts age and wear. These can be replaced.
  • The cable connecting the dash slot system is a flimsy cable and can fail. Replacement of the cable is required.
  • If the Mini has been jump-started from a low voltage, this can corrupt the Cas 3 immobiliser unit. These can be repaired or cloned.
  • Cas 3 immobiliser failure. This requires replacement of the immobiliser.
  • Please be aware that accessing the Mini Cas 3 unit requires removal of the complete dash, not for the faint-hearted

This is typically caused by steering lock failure or electronic steering lock failure, ignition barrel failure, a key fault or a fault with the ignition cylinder housing itself.
