Service Column Lock & Pull Key, Wait 10 Sec
Ok, whats the deal? My car has the recall performed to fix this. Why am i getting this message?!
and it wont drive... it will idle but as soon as you put it in gear and start to move, it dies.

A1 Sometimes the latching relay in the CLB can get out of sync sending the wrong status to your BCM. This has happened to a few folks even with the CLB installed. The CLB latching relay gets out of sync with the BCM possibly due to shock, vibration or relay contact bounce during switching which confused the BCM. The CLB does not physically know which state it should be in; it only switches from one state to the other when it receives a signal from the BCM. The BCM can be reset by pulling Fuse 23 and waiting 10 seconds.
A2 Check to make sure Fuse 25 in passenger footwell is good.
A3 Verify the black wire to your ECL or CLB is grounded (zero ohms resistance).
A5 Verify the green wire to the ECL or CLB is shorted to ground while in the "UNLOCKED" position and +12Vdc while in the "LOCKED" position.
A6 If you get the "Pull Key and Wait 10 Seconds" message but no "Service Column Lock" message, it could be your security system and related to your key pellet.

if your column is locked, just take the key out and turn the wheel to the left and right really hard a few times then try to start the car back up. My column locked a couple of times and when I tried to moved it died. I had to unlock the column for it to run. This little tricked has worked both times my column has locked but I went ahead and bought the Column Lock Bypass so I will not have that problem again. Good Luck

I noticed on this page, he says "you should not hear the column locking" Why is it that I hear mine lock still? I have the CLB
