Fixing The Steering Lock Faulty Warning For Free

At 6:45am in December, when it's freezing cold, dark and you've just pulled into the work's car park, the last thing you want from your car is a warning not to turn the engine off.

However, that's exactly the situation I was in. Not fancying leaving the car running for 9 hours, I took a photo of the warnings and headed on into work.

The full warning message read:

Steering lock faulty

Electronic steering wheel lock is not disabled once the engine has been switched off.
Engine cannot be restarted.
If the engine is running, do not switch off.

And was accompanied by a red warning icon of a padlock covering a steering wheel in the upper board computer display in the dials.
