Abstract
A system and method for locking a motor vehicle steering column to prevent accidental locking of the steering column is provided. The system electro-mechanically locks the steering column in rotation using a bolt driven by an electronic control circuit that receives commands from an electronic calculator via a multiplexed bus. A blocking device mechanically blocks displacement of the bolt.
