Sometimes the steering lock controls get out of synch when the car has a dead battery and is jump started. You don't necessarily get a warning on the dash. I had that happen once with my 03 Z06. Battery died when I stopped at a tire store to pick up a family member. Shop guy provided a jump start but the car would only idle. There were no warnings on the dash. As soon as I tried to move it the engine died. Had to have the car flat bedded to the dealership where they reset the column lock circuit and replaced the battery under warranty. I owned that car for 6 years and that was the only time I had a Column Lock issue.
