From daily chat, I feel it is worthy of its own tech thread:
Quote: On the Corvette side of things. The Message Service Active Handling Soon keeps coming up. I checked the codes and they were C1277H and C1288H. I cleared them and only the C1288H code returns after a short period (maybe a mile) of driving. |

Here is some info that I found. Have you had any work done to the steering column on your car? Sometimes they can put things back 180 degrees out. If not it may be the sensor is failing.
The c1288 is the code for the steering position sensor circuit. This sensor can fail but it needs to be checked first before replaced. I read somewhere that with the steering wheel straight the sensor should read 2.5 volts. The service manual for the 2001 should have the procedure for that. If it needs to be replaced the steering column needs pulled which can get dicy with the air bag. The sensor is not that expensive but the labor to get it done can be pricey. Here is a thread from that forum that has some info in it that pertains to the 1288 code. You may have seen it. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-te ... andling.html?ref=esp-link |

Alan - 1277 is a code for "requested torque signal circuit malfunction. I'm assuming you meant 1287 which is "steering sensor rate malfunction." 1288 is "steering sensor circuit malfunction."

Good links Matt...I know active handling can save you but its also one more thing to go wrong. If you turn the AH off and clear the codes will they not come back if the sensor in bad? I doubt it.....now that I think of it.
The Guru needs to continue to build its library of C5 fixes. |

Thanks for sticking this in Tech Matthew. You are correct...fat fingers....Original codes were 1287 and 1288.
The C1288H code does come back. I looked over the tech link that involved changing the sensor at the base of the steering column. I'm unable to play contortionist to get under the dash. I do belong to the Corvette club of Delaware Valley and we have a sponsoring dealer, Bryner Chevy, that gives A 10% break to club members. I may just end up taking it to them....I'm waiting for a call back from them as I type. Keep posting any info you locate though. It may help someone else! Thanks Guys! Alan |

Bryner's expert, Steve Spencer, looked it over for me. He said it was missing a computer update that spreads the limits of the date the system uses to apply the Active Handling. The Reflash of the computer was all that was needed. All of the sensors checked out. With the Club Discount, it ended up being around $150. And now all is well.
