I am aware of the 1 million plus posts on other forums regarding this problem and yes the steering wheel lock works so i assume the recall was not done on my car. I am just gonna chance it, it's been ten years and no problem yet.

Don't you get a couple "pull key and wait 10 seconds" warnings before it completely goes?

There is a GM recall for this problem on affected models and years It is one of the most problematic issues that we C5 owners deal with It can happen to you if you have a pre-2001 A4 without the recall or CLB installed OR any year MN6 or Z06 car without a CLB installed. Age or mileage makes no difference. Low battery voltage seems to aggravate and sometimes cause column lock failures" "Q How can I tell if I’ve had the recall mod? A1 If you have an A4 car, can you turn your steering wheel freely while the ignition key is removed? If so, you probably DO have the recall mod. A2 For all cars, you can inspect your wiring by removing your knee bolster under the driver's side. Inspect your column lock harness. If the four wires in your ECL harness are Orange, Purple, Green, Black on both sides of the connector, then you DO NOT have the recall mod installed. If you have White, Purple, Green, Black on either side of the connector, then you DO have the recall mod." "Q I have a MN6/M12 car, what will the recall do? A IF you have a MN6/M12 car, the recall does NOT disable your column lock motor. It simply re-programs your PCM to guarantee your fuel is shut off at speeds above 2 mph so you cannot drive your car with the steering column locked. The column lock failure can still occur at any time and you will most likely be stranded somewhere needing to be towed to the nearest dealer for repair when it occurs. Q If I have a MN6/M12 car, what should I do? A Again this is a personal decision. Advice is to install a CLB and ignore the recall. It does nothing to prevent the problem from occurring." |
