Default Help: Car throwing code C1281

I had my alignment done yesterday, and as soon as I drove the car home, the service engine soon flashed on the DIC. I went through the codes and I had thrown a C1281 - Steering Sensor Uncorrelated Malfunction. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave

Dave, is it possible they disconnected the steering shaft, rotated it 180 deg. by acciddent and then reconnected it?

I hope not. :) I'll call them tomorrow and talk to them.
I just took the car out for another spin, and of course now it's throwing a 2nd code. It's throwing a U1160. Next one to figure out. :(

Update: Nevermind about the 1160, the LDCM(left door control module), no big deal. I'm concerned about the Steering.

TTT. Hopefully someone will have an idea on this. Also, I had one that maybe someone can tell me if I'm on the right track or not. What if they didn't do a tire sensor relearn? If the sensors were reversed, do you think that would throw this code?
Any help is appreciated.
