Default Service Column Lock!

Yes, I read the sticky.

However, I replaced my relay today (from the stealership) and still get the message. I'm going to check the fuses now, and try to clean the ground in the drivers side, but my question is this. I can still drive the car because they perfomed the 04006 recall....but does it put it in 'limp' mode making it run rich?

My battery is 12.0 BEFORE I start it up, so it appears the battery is not the issue.

Thoughts?

Nevermind. I pulled all the appropriate fuses and put them back in and now the "service column lock" light is off........for now.

But the other question still stands. When this light comes on....after you had the recall done....does it put the car in limp mode if you still can drive it?

The CL does not put the car in limp mode, paralyzed mode maybe but not limp mode.

you need 12.5v from the battery...... Charge or get a new one with proper specs listed in the sticky thread.
