Did a little more research and poking around, decided the change out the 4 yr old Walmart battery with a new MT-75 interstate, message immediately cleared and the column unlocked. Yesss 10yrs as a tech//service writer paid off.
Our cars do not like low battery voltage. As for the message, you may need to install a LMC5:
