Default Help - Active handling system + sick

I have a 2000 C5 coupe. 501 hp at rear wheels. Centrifugal compressor with intercooler and headers twin disk clutch bigger injectors that sort of thing.

When I am going slow and turn, the active handling system applies one of me brakes????

Yes, codes, C 1287 and a bunch others shows steering wheel position indicator sensor. So I am going to replace.

Dealer says He has seen this a few times with Cadillacs and Vettes. Replaced steering wheel position sensor and corrected problem.

Any experience out there with me brothin regarding this one?
