Looks like you need a Column lock by-pass. That is what happened to mine , same message. Here is a link to one at Corvettes of Houston;

Does not always mean you have a crisis with the column lock. I had that show up on my 97 several times over the 6 years I owned it and never had a column lock problem. One time it occurred as I was waiting for a traffic light to change after the car had been driven for an hour or so.

Get yourself a Column Lock Bypass and forget about getting stranded due to the column lock issue.

I have had it a few times. It only appears after I start the car and then turn it back off quickly for some reason and then start it back up quickly. I do as it says and have never had a problem.

This message can mean just that your key's resistor pellet may need cleaned. Clean it with alcohol. If this doesn't work, try another key.
To be a column lock problem you must get the "service column lock" message.

Unfortunately, I am one of the early C5 owners that the CLB bypass is of no help, it actually introduced said problem.
