The Access Start Authorization lock module is a part of vehicle's steering column. Module failure is a common problem in
Audi 2004-2009 A6/C6 and Q7 model vehicles.
The problem is typically identified by no start and no response from key in the ignition, or proximity access (Start button). The Start / Stop Authorization Module (along with the Electronic Ignition Switch) is responsible for key/transponder recognition, unlocking/locking of steering wheel and powering up all modules in the vehicle. If there is an issue with any of the lock module components (actuator motor, sensing micro switches, relay) or the integrated Immobilizer system Microprocessor/PCB, the module will not provide power to
Terminal 15 (ignition on). End result, no ignition and no engine start. The module will typically store "
00288 - Steering Column Lock Actuator Defective" fault.
Common problem with J518 module :
-Takes several attempts before car will start
-Steering lock fault code 00288 (steering lock actuator N360)

If you already managed to reset this error by EOBD diagnostics the problem will most likely happen again

DIY Job.
See procedure below, Anyone with basic knowledge and tools can desolder old and solder new parts. Just be patient and tidy.
Attention
*If the module is from your car then NO ADAPTATION is required. Just put it back in when you change the parts.
*If you have a situation where you don't have ignition at all caused by this module then you need a VCDS to reset it.
*This kit can solve the problem if the motor itself is damaged. You can check the motor easily with 12VDC supply. It happens rarely but it’s better to check.
What ever problem you have with this module don't put it back in as it was, because the problem will reoccur unless you change the switches and relay.
