I get the "service column lock" message on the DIC everytime I start my car since yesterday. It just popped on the screen while I was driving - now it won't go off. But nothing seems to be wrong with my column - it drives fine. I bought the car used about a month ago. Has this happened to any one else?

put mine in as soon as the CL started acting up.

Mine came on after some work in the shop. I assumed it had failed but ignored it. The next time it came back from the shop it was ok again. You might try disconnecting the batter and see if that resets it. If you do, make sure you have the radio security code in case you need it (I didn't).
