When servicing the vehicle with the VIN you entered, the following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the described symptoms.

Customer complaint of intermittent Service Stability System DIC message with ABS DTC C1288 stored in the EBCM. DTC may be difficult to duplicate, and even a snap shot may not indicate any problem with Steering Wheel Position Sensor outputs Phase A and Phase B.

Cause: Excessive electrical noise produced by Steering Wheel Position Sensor sets ABS DTC C1288.

Service Calibrations for the EBCM have been released to repair this condition. These calibrations reduce the sensitivity of ABS DTC C1288 without replacement of the EBCM. These Service Calibrations are currently available on CD ROM, and are downloaded into the EBCM similar to PCM reprogramming. Note 1: We DO NOT recommend replacement of the Steering Wheel Position Sensor, a new "green" Steering Wheel Position Sensor can aggravate DTC C1288 to set. Note 2: If DTC C1287 set along with C1288, use published service manual diagnostics, as these service calibrations do not change C1287 diagnostics.
