Well I cleared it a bunch of times and it always returned. I'll run it for a bit see what happens now after the swap. . . And....the solenoids not activating is a totally different issue? Or is it related?

Ok ..got my ECU back from the 'Doctor' car seems to run fine with no fault codes. Turned my ECU wasn't holding  or memorizing the flashed software so they had to give me a rebuilt one and reprogrammed it fot my car.. ...ouch.  Didn't try and activate my solenoids with my Durametric yet. BUT...I have a part that broke off the steering column ...I'm  sure it's the spring attached to the end of the telescopic lever cause the lever now flops around. Can I replace the part?.  Also...now my airbag light Is on. And...when pulling my steering column out I had to pull in and out moving the linkage to the rack quite a bit I never detached the linkage but wondering if I disturbed a dust boot or something. 1st Pic is my floppy steering20240606_200108.thumb.jpg.3e3ebf4325d0bdb3f27a5f8f3f550470.jpg lock. 2nd is broken part (plastic screw set) with spring. Thanks V

Column lock may only be available with the unit, which is nearly $3K new from a dealer.  You may want to ID exactly what needs to be replaced with the lock and see if they sell it separately, otherwise it is bone yard time.  And these columns are a whole lot of fun to pull out and replace.

 

You may have upset the airbag while working on the car; get everything back together and then read and clear the airbag code to see if it comes back.

No parts for steering column but I fixed it (hack) if anyone's interested in repairing telescopic lever. Still unable to activate variocam solenoids with durametric. Is it the software for the durametric. No CEL 's. Thanks V

Ok..I have the limited 2 car ver.

Is it possible I just have 2 bad solenoids even though they activated with a 9v battery. Maybe that's not the correct way to diagnose them. V
