wtf??? Now my car wont move but 2 ft. from where its sitting!

I can turn my steering wheel while the key is out so I know my steering wheel is not locked. But everytime i start it "Service Column Locked" comes up.

NEED ME!!! BEFORE I GET MAD AND PUNCH THIS VETTE!

 

You need the column lock bypass. Very common with our cars do a search and you will get plenty of info

 

read the sticky thread..buy a CLB

 

Even though the column does not lock, can you still hear the column lock actuator cycle when you turn the key?
If you can, you may be able to just remove the panel below the steering column, remove the Harness K relay, and connect the actuator back to the stock position.
That should satisfy the BCM and keep the PCM from cutting the fuel.

 

I had that happen Thursday night and freaked so I found a place that sold them I got one for $55 didn't have time to put it on so I went to Pep Boys the guy did it in less than 30mins and it was about $30

I had put it off for years ...... Now I'm not going to have to worry about it.

 

Thats weird cuz it happened to me this afternoon too. I had mistakenly plugged my CLB into the already installed K Harness. Luckily I was about 100 feet from my garage. Only problem is that I had to drive it at 1 MPH. Talk about a short long trip. Get the CLB and don't worry about it again. Both mine have the CLB now.

 

you can also get a $99 tune that among many other things will reprogram the PCM so tha the fuel shot off is disabled. Had that done yesterday at Carlisle

Plus car runs alot better overall

 

try a new battery before you do anything else

 

My battery is new. I bought it like 3 months ago

 

DO NOT GO TO THE DEALER

 

I had the wrong battery in my car. My battery was about a week old too, but it was NOT the correct size batter for my car. Same thing as you...had the car towed to the dealership for troubleshooting. They put in the correct size battery, and fixed the problem.

 

You must be young, To have a prob and want to punch your car isn't very smart.
Do a search for CLB, It costs about 50 bucks.
Good luck...

 

 

I had the "pull key and wait 10 seconds" message starting to come on...and then the "service column lock" coming on.

Ordered the CLB and presto-wammo 30" later good to go!

CLB is the way to go...

Now you get to answer all the Column Lock guys who think their "SPECIAL"

 

Ah curious what does "need me" mean? Don't punch your Vette, it's not its fault.

It sounds like your vehicle has had all three phases of the recall performed. This is why we unanimously say skip the recall and use the column lock bypass module (CLB). Corvettes of Houston will have it for around $50. Order it now.

Phase A added the harness, B reprogrammed to add fuel cut off, and C remove and installed a different column plate that would not allow the steering wheel too lock. Problem is as you figured out the recall didn't resolve the issue. The computer still gets faulty signals. The CLB provides the correct signal back.

Go to (LS1 How To) http://www.ls1howto.com/index.php?article=24 for the installation instructions. This is the best I've seen so far and has good pictures. You'll see what will be involved to install the module.

In the interim, clear the DTC codes, then key off removed and access the fuse box and remove fuse #25 and wait ten minutes, re-install the fuse and try restarting the vehicle.


To enter the Diagnostic Display function perform the following steps in order:

1. Turn ON the ignition switch, engine OFF.
2. Press the RESET button to acknowledge any warning messages present.
3. Press the OPTIONS button on the Driver Information Center (DIC) and hold.
4. While holding the OPTIONS button press the FUEL button 4 times within a 10 second period.
5. System will first enter automatic display mode followed by the manual display mode.
The automatic display feature allow you to read each module DTC display function in an automatic display sequence. Each system module DTC will be displayed for 3 seconds followed by a 1 second pause before the next DTC is displayed in an automatic sequence. If no DTC information is sent to the IPC from the system currently displayed on the IPC, the IPC will display NO CODES for that system. At any time during the automatic display function, the manual display feature can be activated by pressing any button on the DIC except the E/M 5 button. The E/M 5 button is used to completely exit the DIAGNOSTICS mode at any time. If there is a communications problem between any system, the IPC will display NO COMM when the IPC is trying to communicate with that system. When all DTCs have been displayed for all systems, the IPC will display NO MORE CODES for 2 seconds then will enter the manual display mode, waiting for manual mode operation.

The manual display feature allows you to manually select each module DTC display function. The manual mode will automatically be entered after the automatic DTC display sequence is complete, or can be entered at any time during the automatic mode by pressing any button on the DIC except the E/M 5 (E/M 5 button is used to exit the DIAGNOSTIC mode at any time). When the manual mode is selected, the IPC will display the MANUAL DIAGNOSTICS mode message for 2 seconds, or until any button on the DIC except the E/M 5 is pressed. After the MANUAL DIAGNOSTICS mode message is displayed, the IPC will display the first system abbreviation and quantity of codes stored for that system, then the IPC will wait for further instructions. The buttons on the DIC provide the following functions when operating the on-board diagnostic feature in the manual mode:

DIC Button Function

FUEL 1 Previous DTC
GAGES 2 Next DTC
TRIP 3 Previous System
OPTIONS 4 Next System
E/M 5 Exit Diagnostics
RESET Clear DTCs

 

Happy about the result

Thanks Corvette of Houston for the CLB. It works
