Will an EBCM rebuild solve my problem

I'm getting the DTC C1272 code (LF TCS Valve Solenoid Malfunction) and according to the service manual, an EBCM change should fix the problem.
I've sent an email to CorvetteCentral.com to ask whether they think an EBCM computer rebuild would fix it, according to their webpage it will fix "Loss of communication with module, Loss of one or more wheel sensor inputs, Intermittent functionality and Water penetrations", but I don't know if a valve solenoid malfunction is covered in any of these...
I haven't received an answer from them yet (it's been two weeks) so I thought I'd ask the good, knowledgeable and helpful people on Corvette Forum if they have any input...

I need to fix it in order to have it approved in M.O.T

Any advice is highly appreciated

yep check all 4 grounds up front of the car.. 2 by radiator , 1 under battery , 1 chassis rail to engine block. . dismantle clean, check , tighten. check connections F G on the ebcm plug with OHM meter to ground should be 0.00ohm. pin A 12v check?? Pin B 12v ignition on Check?
see how you go.
