engine goes off
Hi everyone,
my name is Tiziano, I`m new here and i live in switzerland. I drive a C5 from 1999 and i love it. But now i have a problem, and i hope someone off you can give me some advice.
Here the problem:
I can start the engine but when i try to drive, the car stops and switch off the engine. i try a few times but it was always the same.
Did anyone know what it could be?
thanks

Hi,
the car runs well again. But i didn`t made anything. I wait a few days and tray to start the car with the second key. No problems, after that i used my first key and also no problem. Now is more then 1 week that i drive around without problems.
the DIC did not show any codes or 10sec key.
Thanks to everyone for your support and advices.

If it happened to you ONCE,, It will happen again and when you least need it to.
Sounds like you have the latest GM Column Lock Recall which eliminated the steering column locking plate.
That plate allowed the column lock motor to LOCK the steering wheel when the key was removed. The column lock motor still functions but the locking bolt no longer locks the steering wheel. If the locking motor doesn't function properly, you will get a DTC and the engine will shut down due to the fuel cut off.
GM removed that plate BUT, added the 2 MPH Fuel Shut Off as a safety. They also added a column lock relay between the connector for the column lock motor and the column lock harness. That relay can and will malfunction. It needs to be removed if you install the LMC-5. Its in the drivers side foot well directly below the steering column mounting brace.
There are some things that can cause this to happen.
One is a low battery. If the battery is LOW or WEAK, it can cause the column lock to fail it function test.
I strongly recommend ordering and installing the LMC-5Column Lock By-Pass. This will permanently get rid of any column lock issues that you currently or will have in the future.
