Steering column lock service message
Need help! My battery died on me due to not driving it for about a month. We've had alot of snow, etc. In any event I discovered this today and once I got it started back up I had to reprogram all of the preset items. That didn't bother me all that much , what does concern me is that the DIC is displaying the following message: " Service Steering Lock" I've never had this problem on my C6 but I did have trouble with it on my C5 where the steering column actually locked up and left me stranded. The dealership could never get it corrected so I had them deactivate it. Have any of you had problems? What was the solutions? My C6 is a 2006.

I thought that the column lock was discontinued following the '05 models? You will need a code reader to get to whatever its complaining about or a trip to the dealer. I suggest the code reader if it'll have the ability to clear the code.

A very weak battery caused that message on my 05 C6. New battery and message disappeared. I've read of others on this forum having the message when the battery was weak.
