Electric steering lock
ELV: Internal fault (locking-plate motor) ('lock')
Module version: Electric steering lock (ELV)
In: Z8 (E52) 2000–2003
Reading and clearing it
Fault code 002A is a BMW code, stored in the car's electric steering lock, not a generic OBD2 code (P0xxx): a generic OBD2 reader only reaches the engine's emissions faults, so it won't show it. AutoLingo for BMW reads it with BMW's own diagnostic protocols, in plain English, with the details the module stored about it, and clears it after a repair. If a fault comes right back after it's cleared, the problem is still there.
The electric steering lock is on: Z8 (E52)
