Sounds like the column lock relay above the BCM.

The BCM are pretty reliable so I wouldn't have thought that was bad.

Not sure if this helps, I was getting the Service Column Lock on my 02 C5, it was the battery - had a red top that was 8 years old. Put a new one in, column lock works again and no message. Seems it is *very* sensitive about getting adequate voltage.
