Default Help! Steering Position Sensor Circuit

Can anyone help me with code C1287, Steering Position Sensor Circuit?
I get this code with an Active Handling / Service Engine Soon warning on my 2004 LS1 coupe.

Can anyone give me a starting place to trouble shoot this repair? By the way...all of you at the forum are awesome. Best website on the internet.

Thanks in advance for any help rendered.

Jeff

The sensor may have gone bad.

Bill Curlee posted a great guide on how to clean up the connectors and grounds. He had the full symptoms with the AH/ABS captions. Even so it may work and its the cheapest fix if it does.

PM me with your e mail and I can send a copy that has pics if you want to try it.
