Default Car not starting

The driver information center says: service column lock. What does this mean. Battery is fully charged.

You have a 2005 manual, and that is the only year C6 that has the column lock module. They eliminated it for the following years.
When you get that message the car will not start, correct?
To temporarily get rid of the message, you can disconnect the battery for a bit, reconnect the battery and the car will start. Not sure how long until the message and non start will happen again.
There is a column lock bypass that can be purchased to eradicate this issue, or you can purchase a new column lock module from GM. They are available on the e site and likely elsewhere as well
Here is the dirt on this issue.

Good luck

After you disconnect a C6 battery, then reconnect it, you will need reset the window indexing.

With the engine running and the window down, close the car door. Raise the window and hold the up switch an extra 3 seconds. Release. Without lowering the window, hold the up switch again for 3 seconds. Release. Done. Don't forget the other window.

This will need to be done to both windows every time the car battery is disconnected, then reconnected.
