Easiest way to test is using a Tech2, but can be done using a multi-meter to test voltage change.

Suggest you pick up GM Service manual for procdures.

I had the same codes (c1281&c1286)after reading the shop manual, I took it to the dealers vette man. The steering sensor is abour $330 and 4hr labor. Ouch, but it solved the problum.

My local dealer did mine ~3 years ago. SWPS was $80. Labor was $240. Has it gone up that much?
