"Pull key & wait 10 seconds" with CLB installed
I installed the CLB several months ago. Yesterday (for the 2nd time) I received the dreaded "Pull key & wait 10 seconds" message. After doing so, I restarted the car & the message went away. I'm a little unnerved after seeing this message again. Has anyone else seen this behavior with the CLB installed ?
Thanks!

Haven't had it happen to mine and my CLB has been installed for a couple of years. If someone else has had this happen, hopefully they will see this and let you know how they fixed it.

I have the CLB installed and recently had my battery disconnected
for a day for some work. The first startup after re-connecting the
battery, I had the pull key message. I did and it went away.
See if you battery is on the way out.

I installed CLB 2 years ago. I just got message twice last month. It caught me off guard. Third time trying to start, no message. I dont think it is fixable. What is important to me is to catch the message on the DIC right away, and dont panic. I have a 98 which is known to not like the CLB in some cars, like mine.

It could be your battery. Is it getting old? Is there corrosion on the terminals?
Also, it could just be that the resistor pellet on your key is dirty. Try cleaning it with some denatured alcohol, or try the second key.

Just had mine done by dealer last month and have had the pull key message several times. Believe my battery is on the way out. M6, they pulled the locking plate and seem to have left everything else in place.

it's been a couple years since I had that problem...
but I was able to fix it by pulling a fuse from the fuse panel in the passengers side footwell. I don't recall which fuse # it was, but maybe this will jog someones memory for you.

The Pull Key message indicates a security system failure, not a Column Lock condition, so your CLB seems to be working fine.

So even though I've had the recalls done, if I buy a CLB, when the "pull key and wait 10 seconds" comes on you're saying my car will still drive and not cut off???
All I'm trying to do is get the car (98) to not shut the fuel pump off when the message flashes up.

I've never seen mention of a class action. Why is that? Mine has been back 7 times, it's there now and they still act like mine is an isolated incident. I just found this forum yesterday. I had no idea the problem was this rampant.

...the suspect key
if battery is ok..the key may be the issue ...
Try cleaning the key...
if problem remains...
Try back up key...
StuzVette with CLB had this issue in BG but I also took the back up set of keys...
...the back up set works fine and without an issue at all since...
