To anyone who is having the column lock issue in a manual car with the lock plate removed (as per the recall) to do this!
Go to your local Tuner shop, and have them disable the circuit and set the fuel cutoff at 255 mph. Disabling the circuit will stop the status reports that cause the error and the fuel cutoff. If the locking plate is gone, the circuit doesn't do what it's designed to do anyways, therefore the circuit isn't needed. This cost me 40 bucks and it literally took like 4 seconds for him to change the tune to say that the column lock was unequipped and change fuel cutoff to 255 from 2. This is what should have been done with the recall, but how will the stealerships make money if you don't go back to them 4 times for the same problem? I have had no issues with column lock since. I started the car cleared the codes that used to be there, and none have come back. And if you get the pull key wait ten seconds, because of the key resistor pellet or any other reason, you can still drive.
