Sorry I can't help with your question but I'll bump it up for you again! Hopefully someone will come along soon that is more familiar with the technical aspects of the C5.

I would suggest that you pull any Diagnostic Trouble Codes from the Driver Information Center as outlined in this thread:
http://corvetteactioncenter.com/foru...ad.php?t=72535
Then post them here.

Hi there,
Yes, please do this and to be more specific, give us the codes in 28-TCS.
Allthebest, c4c5

I cannot address your problem myself. I do know that the "c" means current. Perhaps c4c5 will be able to tell you exactly what is going on.

I've got a question too... how did you identify the code? It isn't listed on the Stengel C5 Code page I've bookmarked. Unless I overlooked it.

HI there,
That code is for the 10-PCM.
If you lost powersteering, then the 28-TCS would be the system that monitors the system.
Were there any other codes in any other system???
Allthebest, c4c5
