Well I am REALLY puzzled......
When I bought my '02 Z06, I got the SERVICE COLUMN LOCK message every time I started it up, and I could move the steering wheel freely when the key is removed. I just figured the previous owner had installed the bypass. Well I had my Z at the Chevy dealer's place the week before last getting headers installed and a few other odds and ends. When I got it back, I noticed I wasn't getting that DIC message any longer. Didn't think about it much at the time. Well today yesterday I went to the grocery store and when I shut off the motor, I just happened to turn the wheel slightly, and *click* I heard it lock. Now what the hell? These cars don't just spit out mods or heal themselves, do they?
Anyone EVER had something like this happen to them? I can't imagine the dealership just REMOVED that bypass.......
But I guess a phone call is in order to talk to the vette tech to see what he knows.
