Steering Lock does not Lock [06/2018 - 09/2022]: Description
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 2024 Lexus ES 350, 2024 Lexus ES 250, 2023 Lexus ES 350, 2023 Lexus ES 250, and 2022 Lexus ES 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The steering lock actuator or upper bracket assembly activates the steering lock motor and moves the lock bar into the steering column to lock the steering.
When the steering lock is operating, the steering may not lock when the lock bar is not aligned with the lock hole of the steering column. In this case, the steering can be locked by turning the steering wheel a little, as is done for a vehicle with a mechanical key, to change the position of the lock hole.
