Default C5 Z06 Service Column Lock

I got back last night from a one week family vacation, and the battery in my 01 z06 died. After trying to jump it a few times, I saw a "pull key - wait 10 sec" message.

Now that I replaced the battery, it now says "service column lock". The car is still in my garage. Do I need to bring it to a dealer, or will the CLB kit be able to save me?

Thank you,
Bob

LMC5 is the way to go. They have the unlock kit if the column is locked.

Well luckily the column definitely isn't locked... I can turn the steering wheel either way no problem when the car is on!

So this means all I need to do is plug in a LMC5 and I should be good to go?!

Thank you so much guys for the help, I was an absolute wreck all night imagining having to get it towed to a dealership.

Just ordered up the LMC5 and paid for 1 day shipping for the first time in my life

Looking forward to reporting the results!
