service column lock???????
I have a 98 coupe. Went to take off yesterday and the DIC had a warning message "service column lock" and "pull key, wait 10 secs" does anyone know what they mean. Also, when I put it in gear and start to move the whole car just cuts off. What is my major malfunction goin on here? Thanks for any help

There are no details about your car in your profile, but you either have a column lock actuator failure, or if you have had the GM recall performed, a possible Harness K relay failure. 
If the BCM thinks the column is locked, or it cannot determine the actuator position, it will send a signal to the PCM to cut the fuel when you drive over 2-3 mph. You need to do a little checking to determine if your car has had a recall performed on the column lock actuator for us to pinpoint the problem.
