Default Service Column Lock alarm

I have a 2001 Z06 (Standard) and the service column lock alarm always comes on. Any ideas?

The service column lock alarm is on but the steering wheel is not locked with or without the key in ignition.

With NO key in the ignition does the column lock??

Has a CLB been installed??

Has an LMC5 been installed?

Do you know the date on which the last Column Lock Recall service was done???

You can avoid all column lock problems by ordering and installing an LMC5 and do the "brown wire mod" when the LMC5 is installed. Here is a link to Compliance Parts web site where you can learn about the LMC5 and order one:

The column does not lock just the alarm comes on.

Have not had CLB or LMC5 installed.

Never had a recall done on the column lock. I have not received a recall notice.
