The C1287/1288 codes are for the SWPS. Common problems with these cars. Had to replace mine on my 04 last year. Cost $65.00 and takes 2.5 to 3 hours to change out. I had a corvette mechanic friend of mine change it out for me because I did not want to mess with the airbag. Do a search here and you will find the info on how to do it.
