Service Column Lock Message On with Manual Transmission - keywords actuator B2709 BCM crank DIC indicator IPC lock message module no program stall steering wheel

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

It may be noted that after configuring the BCM, a service column lock message will be displayed with possible DTC B2709 stored in the BCM. This is due to a software issue in the Tech 2. The steering column lock for all 2006 Corvettes built for the United States have been eliminated and the service column lock message should not display. Export vehicles will still be equipped with the steering column lock feature.

When replacing the BCM, use Tech 2 software 25.010 released Thursday 10/27/05 to configure the BCM. If the BCM was already configured with 25.009, the new software will correct the configuration attempted by 25.009. A replacement BCM is not necessary. Reconfigure with 25.010.

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
