You will have to pull the codes from the D.I.C. and then determine what they are. You will find a list of codes in the Tech section of this forum. Hope that helps !

it says
tcs c1281h
what does this mean

Steering sensor uncorrelated malfunction. What I would do is clear that code out of the D.I.C. then see if it comes back. If it does come back, you will need to replace the sensor that has gone bad. That sensor is about $200.00 plus the installation. Give or take a few dollars.

Re: service vehicle soon? (wantavette)
You want your car to be " Right " don't you ? Personally, I would get it fixed. If you don't, it could lead to other things going wrong and cost you more in the long run. Plus, your service soon message will come on forever.

I don't think it can be related to your Vortek install.
It's not an emergency situation either. I have been getting this one on and off for years. Dealer screwed around until it was out of warranty.
