Service Traction Control message and tires
I recently purchased an 01 C5. Love the car. The "service traction control" light has been on since I purchased the car. I knew going into it. I check the codes and there where many. I reset the codes and the first 2 that came up were c12287 and c12288 which indicates the steering sensor is a problem.
The current tires are 285/40/18 and 255/45/17. This size change from stock has only a very slight difference in diameter stagger. I calculated the stock setup at .98" difference and the new at .94" difference.
I spoke with a trusted tire store and they said you need to get them back to stock size.
Agree or change the steering sensor first?

I've had my 2001 Z06 for nearly 2 trouble free years. Done various upgrades without hitch and I love the car...it's great. However, recently I have 2 codes recurring , C1288H and U1064H. They occur simultaneously. The driver info shows 'service vehicle and also active handling' messages.
I know that C1288H is a steering monitor issue. Am I correct in assuming that U1064H is coming up because of the fault there is a failure to communicate info? I've tried cycling the steering through about 50 cycles in an effort to 'clean' the monitor, but no joy.
Before I conduct 'major surgery' I have some questions. It was immediately before this issue that I fitted a B&M shifter. This of course required removal and disconnection of the active handling button and now (coincidently?) I have this problem. I've done the obvious and rechecked the connection to the button, but to no avail. Could it be this? Have I triggered something? Any bright ideas?

Yes thanks for the response Ace 147. I was pretty sure that was the problem but raised the other points just in case I was missing a trick.
I've now fitted a new steering position sensor. Not technically challenging, but just a bit awkward. .......Road tested the car really hard and everything seems 100% perfect now. Phew!!
