Default dic code 1281

Code 1281 came but hasn't returned is it a glitch or what. It says its a steering sensor.

That code is for your steering wheel position sensor which communicates with you ABS system.

Is it C1281 or P1281? There is a difference.

C1281- car been great so far had a great day yesterday than backed into garage then this message appears service car soon . DIC came up C1281 . Did a lap yesterday at Fontana speedway and ran it hard coming home. It was extremely hot yesterday. Who knows, cleared code will wait and see if comes back , if it comes back take it to a shop. Just trying to get some friendly advice from experts on this forum. Thanks everyone for you input. TWO HUNDREDS MILES CODE HASN'T COME BACK. I THINK IT WAS A GLITCH. Its been 2,000 miles it hasn't returned.Update two years later hasn't come back.
