Well new battery got me a week. I went about 2 miles, pulled into a McDonald’s to get a drink. While I was going through th parking lock the power steering waning came on and then the anti theft. I’m sitting in the parking lot with the battery disconnected.

not sure what we should be checking.

15 minutes-started got about a mile and happened again.

Had to get it towed home. Anti theft or limp mode with check engine light on. my anxiety about figuring this out, is going to the roof.

Is the anti theft the problem. Or is it the 0073 it throws after……. I am stumped about how to trouble shut this.

I did the key on 3 times reset……

Interesting that a new battery did any good at all. A failing power steering motor draws excessive power. if you’re having any trouble at all with the power steering, you could try taking it to a GM dealer and talk to them about a recall or extended warranty on the power steering motor, whichever applies, and one or the other does. Either should be a $0 repair.

Some descriptions of this procedure don't mention that each time you turn the key to "off", you need to leave it off for 5 seconds.

Or that it’s also called the 30 minute relearn. 10 minutes for each step.
