First attempt with new battery, of course I know its not at full charge yet, Pull Key then Service Lock, drive for a bit and get pull key after the car sits nothing after driving and restarting, hopefully once I get a full charge the Pull Key will go away, to me the BCM is not getting the proper voltage anyone have any suggestions?

My car is stock without headers and all connections are tight and clean

Like Richard said--its your BCM--The brown wire mod has fixed all--pull key messages-- that i have read about--if lmc5 is working and all wires are placed right--only other thing has to be the BCM is way out of sync with lmc5-

I think its a voltage problem somewhere in the BCM, as stated before I hooked a trickle charger up, at Richard's suggestion, and got no pull key message, I get pull key on initial start drive for a few minutes restart without pull key, something going on with voltage, don't forget when I installed my new battery with 120 reserve on the first start I got the pull key and subsequently service column lock, no more service column just pull key, what I cant figure out is where is the voltage loss when the car sits to make me get pull key, there are no shorts or lights left on. If I'm sure this is caused by a bad BCM then I'll replace it, this is driving me nuts !!!!

I hope this will help put the PULL KEY issue behind for all those, like myself, who cant seem to stop the message, REDVETTE has it right, the LMC5 is FOR MOST the answer to the problem, UNLESS YOU HAVE A BCM THAT IS FAILING, as I stated before I checked everything possible and still got the Pull Key all that was left was the BCM so after much contemplating I bit the bullet and bought a Delco BCM had it installed and programmed, NO MORE PULL KEY !! PS, THE LMC5 IS STILL INSTALLED. The correct part # is 10304930 which supercedes 09381409, its not a cheap fix but whats your piece of mind worth?
