tcs code..
have a code 1287, steering wheel sensor code. reset it and comes back, not sure what to look for.. i did have the steering wheel off and
replaced with a custom built one, same basic wheel, just thumb grips and flat bottom, the wheel was straight when i took it off, so i thought
but didn t seem to matter, because it would only go on in one position. when i drive it, it is just a hair off center, am thinking it is off by 1 spline,
but, it seemed to only go on in one place. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks Al

disconnected the battery for awhile and was clear, but since i had steering wheel replaced, it came back. Has to be
something simple.

Early C5 SWPS ('97-'00) are no longer available. Production discontinued in 2012. Available used only, usually a good one, all center pinned and ready to install, is around $500.00, give or take. Try Marc Rose at Vettenuts, or Lyle@C&S Corvettes. Good luck. BTW....I think there's a sticky about a guy who installed a new 2001-2004 C5 SWPS on his earlier model C5. That or the EBCM, which is also discontinued on the '97-'00 models, available used only, except it is around $1,500.00!!!

The wheel jerking phenomenon is weird. My 2000 Vert has had a bad SWPS for 15 years, and the wheel has never jerked one way or the other.....
