Default Steering Position Sensor Codes

My 01 is giving me C1287 and C1288 codes (STPS bad). I tried cleaning the grounds as described in earlier posts, but to no avail. Where can I find a steering position sensor, is this a GM part only, and how expensive are they??

It would help GREATLY if you filled out your profile .... go to USER CP in the red/brown band at the top of this page and EDIT PROFILE ...

FILL IN WHAT YEAR and MODEL THAT YOU HAVE

SWPS ...

26055808 for 1997-1998 about $300.00
26058286 for 1999-2000 about $270.00
88965543 for 2001-2004 about $70.00

prices are GM MSRP (approx)

Thanks for the info, I'm lucky enough to have an '01, so $70 is worth a shot for the SWPS to fix these codes.

Its an interesting fix. You need to pull out the steering column to get at it.

I think I'll need to bite the bullet eventually but mines been behaving recently.

When mine went bad several years ago, the replacement sensor was only $135 as the part by itself. It cost me $175 from the dealer to replace it. I elected to let them do it instead of doing it myself as I didn't want to chance setting the airbag off.
