[QUOTE="my 1999 coupe, post: 107956, member: 3328"] Good News I have fixed it myself. After a lot of research I was able to fix this "Service Column Lock" message code. As I stated earlier I knew the recall had been done in the past by a previous owner and this message only appeared after I boosted the car. The first thing I did was to clear all existing codes . This may be know to the forum and other C5 owners but it was news to me that you can turn your message center into a diagnostic reader. I will give the process below so others may do the same. First turn the key to on twice but do not start the car. Next hit the reset button to clear any messages. Next hit the gauge button until you have a blank display. Next hold down the option button and hit the fuel button 4 times Now all the codes will start appearing . Let that finish and then the display will go into a manual mode. Hit the option button to go threw the codes (#4 button is forward and # 3 button goes backward) Hold down the reset button for 2-3 seconds to clear any codes ( I had a lot) Codes with a H are history codes and have been corrected on there own and C are current codes that need to be addressed. That is it and it saves having to buy a OBD reader. After doing all this I thought I would be fine but the dreaded Service Column Lock still appeared. After more research I discovered there was one more thing to do. You need to remove fuses # 23; #25 and # 29 and leave out for 15 minutes . Once i did that the the service column lock disappeared but the message remove key for 10 seconds appeared. After I did that all was fine. I apologize if this is already know or somewhere on this site but i thought it would be good to share this with the other members. Charlie [/QUOTE]
