No, it's a bad day for Fortran. 9999 is a Fortran restart command (or something like that). So not Y2K, but caused by the same "I'll be retired long before then" shortsightedness.

There is a cable tie under the ignition switch which holds the ignition harness carefully located in the exact position so as to ensure that the clutch cable can grind it into the bottom of the ignition switch assembly and cut through all the insulation shorting all the wires to each other and making the Sprint ST ownership experience even more exciting.
Cut this cable tie off. Your dealer can then look at it if he wants to. ;-)
