Code 1287 on when cold outside.
When I start my 02 when it’s cold outside and put it in gear the 1287 code pops up. When it’s warm out side this code doesn’t pop up. When it does it when it’s cold I can pull over look at the code it says history, clear it and it doesn’t come back. What is causing this? Thanks!

it’s complicated to replace. Labor is about $500-$700 depending where you go.

I would say it’s merely a coincidence. You can unhook the electrical connector to the swps and gently clean it and make sure it’s connected securely. That has been known to help some (very few, but some). Alignment most likely won’t help unless your steering wheel is completely out of whack but that would be noticeable. Get on a straight smooth road and see if the steering wheel is straight. I’d say 9 out of 10 people that get 1287 needs a new swps. What will likely happen next is you’ll be driving and the ABS will kick on suddenly, the car will jerk and then throw the code. Be prepared for it. It can be pretty scary if you’ve never experienced before.

alternatively, just blow on the sensor before you drive it. Should be good to go!
