Default Column lock not fitted?

My column locked on me ( 03 ZO6 ) 2 nights ago and again today. I was able to get it unlocked both times. I'm considering the bypass, but I'm wondering if there's an option in HP tuners or a similar program that lets you just say the feature is not fitted so as long as it's unlocked then it will never matter again? I want to program out my 1/4 skip shift anyways so if I could eliminate this as well that would be perfect.

No. HP Tuners can only modify the PCM (engine/transmission computer).

You can program out the fuel cut that's initiated in the event of a reported column lock event with it, but that has zero effect on actual column lock actuation, which is controlled by the BCM.

Get the bypass and be done with it.

Cool, thanks for the help. Not too familiar with tuners but figured it was worth a shot. Bypass is on order!
