Need some help guys.
Yesterday my Service Engine Soon Light came on.
I checked the codes and the following two (2) show up. 28-TCS C1286
80-Radio U1016
they both show current and history.
I cleared these codes and the light went away for about 10 miles then the light came back on and the codes were back.
Please tell me what I need to do to fix my problem.
Thanks for any and all help.
:crazy:
Thanks, I will clean the ground and check the harness, Have not had any problems with the battery, It's only about two years old. (but that doesn't mean anything these days) you can buy a new one and have problems with it.

U1016 Loss of Communications with PCM and not radio
The C1286 has two meanings
IF the car has active handing then it is a EBCM issue,
IF no AC then the steering position angle does not match the angle wheels are pointing.
U1016 is on the list under alot of categories, PCM, TCS, Radio....they all mean the same thing. Loss of Comm but its the area you find the code that means more. I get it under 'Radio' too sometimes, depends on if the radio is on or off when I check for codes.
Hey Junkman, Have seen a few of your videos you sure have helped a lot of people including me with your videos.
Thanks
Not sure what you mean about the stickie at the top of the forum.
Help me out here.
The area at the top of the page where you see all of the threads listed will have separate threads with the word "Sticky" in red letters. Those are where you find the frequently asked questions.
There are two problem with figuring out his issue. One, he never listed what year his car is. Two, he never posted if he had RPO JL4 or not. I would need to know those things in order to figure out what his solution would be.
Ah, I see. I have a similar problem with my 01. I have codes c1286h 1287h and 1288h. I know the last 2 are steering position sensor, my traction control light is on, but my traction control works. I do not have active handling.
Reguarding my steering issue. The previous owner had a spec stage 2 clutch installed. I'm quessing they moved the steering wheel with the shaft disconnected. Think I can disconnect the shaft and move the steering wheel 180* and see if thats fixes it? Or is the sensor shot. Thanks man
Okay, I'll post the service bulletins that contain specific information about that code for your car. See the attached Adobe document. There will be multiple. Technically, it would be best if you had a scan tool to trouble-shoot the problem but I have been able to diagnose issues like this without one by understanding the information within the documents.
Here's the second document. As you go through these documents, they may refer you to additional documents. Let me know if you need any of the additional ones.
