codes codes codes and now it wont start!! %@#$!
So here lately i've been getting the "service engine soon" and "service active handling" messages. I feel this is probably related to the dreaded EBCM.
However, last night, i went to move my baby into her room, and she wouldn't start! It was like not pushing the clutch in when trying to start it. After turning the key about 10-15 times, with the clutch in, it finally started. Today, i goto lunch, come out... and BAM!
it wont start again! This time it was 20-25 times turning the key with the clutch in that it would not start! 
I'm getting the codes:
P0420 (P0420 TWC System Low Efficiency Bank 1-A)
C1287 (C1287 Steering Sensor rate malfunction)
C1288 (Steering Sensor Circuit Malfunction)
Can anyone confirm or deny the problem!?

Good thread. Will the EBCM cause it not to start though?

This does not look like its going to be fun 
Looks like either a trip to the dealer with no vaseline, or hit and miss checking fuses, replacing steering sensor, and/or the EBCM.
