Keep getting a "Pull key, Wait 10 seconds" message.
Just wanted to find out if this is usually caused by something. It happens on a '97 6-speed car. Everytime I get into the car it says this. I do as it says and it runs fine afterwards. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony

I got that sometimes after I installed the CLB. I think I had to clear the code or disconnect the batt. and then it never appeared again. :cheers:

That's the message that C5ers get shortly before the steering column refuses to unlock .. more or less permanently. Normally followed by a flatbed trip to the dealer for repair. If you've already installed a column lock bypass you should be ok ... if not, it may be time to do so.

Thanks guys, I'll check with our service writer on that and hopefully it is a non issue.

I believe this message is caused by the car not "reading" the key resistor correctly. Try cleaning the resistor pellet on the key, or try the other key and see if that helps.

This message does not necessarily mean you have a problem with column lock. The "Service Column Lock" message is the more disturbing one. :iagree:

This happened to me for about one month before the steering column locked, then I got caught far from home in a small parking garage. It was a real pain. I'd have your car serviced NOW, rather than later.

I recommend listening to the C5 owners who had this happen to them. Tow truck are our enemy! Column lock can ruin two or three days if your stuck in Podunckville Do you really want someone at the 'fillin station' messing with your C5? :reddevil :reddevil

Before you get sucked off into flaming icon land, consider that your problem might be as simple as just needing to clean the resistor pellet in the key.

Worked for me. I had the same message back in May or June. Aftercleaning the key, I have never had the problem since. :cheers:
