1997 trouble.

I had wheels from 1998 corvette put on my 1997,and when i started the car to leave the tire shop it started moved about 4 feet and died. It will do that every time,and it gives a service column lock but column is not locked.Car had to be towed home. Could this be break control module. thanks for any advise on this.

Make sure that your battery is in good shape and FULLY CHARGED. Clear ALL the DTCS and then try to start and drive it.

If it fails after that,, you have a column lock issue that your going to have to resolve. If it back to normal,, you better be ordering and installing a cloumn lock bypass (recommend the LMC5 bypass..

EBCM has ZERO to do with this issue. And FYI, you can't get a new EBCM for any c5 older than 01.

yes i installed the by pass has"nt changed anything. dealer is saying if the ebcm is bad it causes abs not to work if abs does"nt work when you put the car in gear and start moving it will die.Is this true.
