Well it "was" a nice day
Mid / upper 80s so I took the vet and long way into work. So I go on lunch & pick up a few things from another store and when I come back the dreaded happens.
Pull key / wait 10sec and service column lock appear on the dash.
I'm just like well... Damn I should have known this was going to happen, Last time it was this hot outside the same thing happened. Maybe there is a correlation ? I tend to only see the message when it gets really warm out but after it cools down some the messages go away
Luckily I stopped for lunch across the street from my work so I was able to just walk back but the car was stranded until just recently when the temps dropped and messages went away.
Guess I should install the LMC5 that's in my glove compartment

Hindsight is great, but yes, you should have installed the LMC5 right after you got it. I'd go ahead and get it done.

I have a bypass installed and I still get that message every now and then. I wait 10 seconds re-insert the key & off I go. No big deal.

Did you do the Brown Wire installation that is part of the LMC5? If not, see your instruction sheet on page 2 at the bottom titled "Optional LMC5 Modification Procedure". I had the same problem until I did the brown wire step suggested by Richard at Compliance. Suggest calling Richard at Compliance Parts. If you want a copy of the instructions, I can send via email. PM me.

Well, I wish I could say I feel for ya but I can't. If you had the fix in your glove box I'm going to say, WHAT THE HELL, MAN....Take the 15 minutes and get that thing installed.

I can't figure what the temp had to do with it but mine seemed to throw the message when it was cold until I did the brown wire mod. Richard said temp had nothing to do with it but go figure.

If it happens again before you get it installed, do this:
Turn the key to on, see service column lock message, leave key in position, disconnect and reconnect battery, start car (without turning key back to off), and drive away.
I figured this out when it happened to me. Ordered an LMC5 when I got home, but had to use this trick a few times until it arrived as the C5 is my daily.
