Thread: D4 Push button start issue

Here's a list of all faults for the column lock from the workshop manual. Hopefully you can use the suggested causes to help fault find.

I have a 2010 D4 3.0L. Which seems to be the main culprit for this issue.

I posted earlier in this thread - I was constantly having a 'no-start', and it may happen 2 or 3 times before it actually started.
I didn't have any error messages regarding my steering lock.
I did have many people tell me to push harder on the brake!
I did eventually get full CCF access from GAP for my iidtool (which is awesome - best ~$600 spent on my Disco!).

So, since I've disabled the steering lock (about 8mths ago), I have not had 1 recurrence of this problem. Peace!
Starts first time, every time! I am confident that for my car, this has fixed the fault. As per this thread, there appears to be a few other causes (circuit boards replaced under the dash etc), but the steering lock was the culprit for me.

I hope it's as easy for you!

Thanks.

That’s a good result Rob...

You may find though (maybe test it out) that just the system reboot after you were in the CCF resolved the glitch...

Either way your problem has gone.

Well

Since I last plugged in Gap-tool I also changed the CCF to enable global locking as mentioned in the owners manual.

That doesnt seem to have worked as only the RH rear door window closed others remain open (none before)?

The starting problem however seems resolved as changing any CCF seems to reboot the whole system!!!

Tried starting a few times all OK so far.

I did see on the Gap-Tool a master reset, I wonder if that is worth a look in future?

I'd be almost willing to bet the issue will continue until you disable the lock. I could go several months without it happening and then have it three times in a week. It will be interesting to see how you go. At least you can be confident of resolving it if it does come back based on Robs result.
