Another steering column lock question..
Ive had my Z06 and never looked into if anything had ever been done to the steering column lock, well today i was spraying the car off. Turned it on seen the code.. Turned it back off, then started it again the code popped up and i push reset and drove off. Turned it back off. Column locked.. Started it again and it popped up. Pushed reset and drove off.. Drove ten miles home no issues. I thought with this code it was suppose to cut fuel and not be drivable. ????

check the black wire at the connector for the column lock motor below the steering column. I see these loose in the dealer all the time. Tighten the terminal and clear the codes. (motor side of connector; female terminal) test drive to see if it resets.
