ABS and Steering sensor. HELP...
I have a 2002 Z06 and Im having ABS alarms on and off as I drive. Alarm page ( TCS) says I have C1282, 87, 88H in history.
I had the ABS module fixed, and now thinking the steering sensor is bad.
Question. Can I just unplug the old one and plug in a new sensor and just tie wrap it under the steering wheel column without installing it?
Would the ABS alarm go off or create more alarms not truely installed?

I had to have the SWPS changed out in my 03 vert. It ain't cheap but it fixed it.
The sensor is available for around 100 bucks. I found a local mechanic to put it in for 400. Dealer wanted 700 for the labor only.
It's easier to pull the steering column to install the sensor but I am too old and too fat to do it.
If you are young and limber you can do it. Lots of info about it online.
Good Luck!

I ordered mine sws online for about $70.00 and the local dealership charged me $79.00 to replace it. DGrant had talked about on the forum a couple of years ago and I think that was money well spent.

Two local dealers wanted around $120 for the sensor and $625 at one and $700 at the other for installing mine.
I paid $95 plus shipping for the sensor at GMpartshouse online and found a local Corvette mechanic $400 to install it.
You really got a good deal!
