Default C1288 - Steering Sensor Circuit Malfunction

Hi All,

I have had a problem and not too sure of the severity.... I have a 2001 Auto C5.

Just now going round a corner at about 10MPH, the front right I think locked up. Then the DIC went mad and said SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING and SERVICE CAR SOON

The Active Light Came on and remained until i turned off the engine. After checking the diagnostics the 2 error faults were....

28-TCS
DTC C1287 Steering Sensor Rate Malfunction - H
DTC C1288 Steering Sensor Circuit Malfunction -H

Now both History. Others that are on, but I dont think are relevant are :
B2605 in the SCM (Seat Module)
and 4 in the RFA (Remote Function)

The corvette forum says this in an older post..
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/arch.../t-129377.html

"Refers to the steering position sensor. There is a known defect which requires sensor replacement. Call your dealer."

Iv'e been driving it for a bit and so far - fingers crossed - no reoccurance.
Can i leave it to be looked at when it next needs a service (it needs the column lock recall too), or does it need to go now? Does the sensor need cleaning?
Any help would be most appreciated!
