Default DIY LMC5 for "Pull key...wait 10 seconds"

Not sure if it's just my battery voltage being slightly below a threshold (doubt it with a 2 yr. old Yellow Top), but I'm getting the Pull Key message after just a couple days of not driving and I have some time this weekend.
Is there a schematic of the LMC5? I'd just order one but won't have it until next week so if anyone knows the components required to bypass this annoying message, I'd love to eliminate it this weekend. Thanks!

Your asking if there is a public schematic of the Compliance Parts proprietary design?

nope. Just if anyone knows whether it’s just a relay and resistor or what. If not, no big deal. Usually these types of things are very simple and I probably have the components on the shelf.

There is a schematic on the forum for a diy version. It is not the lmc5, but was supposed to be quite effective a while back. However, the actual lmc5 is available through Amazon, and for Orlando at least it’s a next day delivery.

Low battery voltage can cause the “pull key” message…I’d get your battery checked even though it is 2 years old.

Other option is to just install a resistor that matches your key's resistor.

You are conflating a column lock issue with a VTD/PASS-Key issue.
