Default Steering lock

Hi all, please help.
Background
I had a 2009 Lexus IS250 auto, AWD that I loved. However it was wrecked by my little brother. I bought the car of my insurance, hoping I could find a new home for the motor.

I recently acquired a manual IS250 with a bad motor, I swapped the engine and auto gearbox into the manual. I also transfered all electric components and wiring as the auto setup is a bit different, but the car is not starting because the car is stuck in lock mode. Can the steering wheel be unlocked manually? The only code I can see on the scanner is B2288.

​​​​​​Any advise would be appreciated.

Looks like the mechanism can not tell the state of wheel lock. Did you have that area apart? How long was the car sitting?

If did have it apart, double check your work and make sure the connectors are fully seated.
