CM Column lock issue

Ironically, after the 360 mile trip home to CT, Saturday, the car ran great. I also did have a dyno tune and Vararam installed by the guys at ECS, and am happy with the results of that.

Yesterday, I started the car up,pulled it out of the garage, shut it off, to do some much needed garage reorganizing. When i went to start the car later to pull it into the garage, I got the dreaded "pull key wait 10seconds" message on the dic.

After doing that I got the even more dreaded "service column lock" message. Well I do have a 2 month old AC Delco professional series battery with the 50 month warranty, and voltage is perfect. I also checked the battery post terminal torque, and pulled fuse #23 waited 10 seconds and reinstalled it.

Still same message. No codes on the dic, and i drove the car for a short distance, no steering lock occured or engine stall.

Any advice where to proceed? As always thanks in advance. Ken

BTW It is a 2000 coupe 6 speed 47k

HI there,

Also, I forgot in the PM to tell you to remove the negative battery terminal for 2 mins to clear the message and then reevaluate the condition.

Allthebest, c4c5
