So you'd need something a little more complex to fake it, like a cheap little microcontroller.
Even if you replaced the lock unit with a microcontroller-based fake: if you ever turned the steering wheel while the BCM thought it was locked, I wouldn't be surprised if it a threw a code because the steering angle changed when it shouldn't be possible.

Maybe a 555 timer chip in combination. Although with the price of cheap integrated micro-controllers these days I would probably be tempted to go that route too.
