Pull key, wait 10 seconds???
About a month ago, I had the Column lock recall done at the local chevy dealership. About two weeks later, I got the pull key, wait ten seconds message on the DIC and then again, today.
Is the message related to the CLB problem? If not, what causes it? Is it just a glitch or something I need to chase down.
Thanks in advance,
Mark

You might want to read what your Owner's Manual says about this warning message. This message may also occur when the ignition key is removed and reinserted before the steering column lock system fully locks or unlocks the steering column. Hope this helps.

If you have a 6 speed your car will still lock up on you, even if you had the recall done. MN6 owners definitely need to get the CLB done. There have been too many posts on here with people being stranded because they thought the dreaded column lock wouldn't happen to them. just my observation.
