2002 Cadillac Deville.
Engine: 32 valve Northstar.
Warning lights = ABS brake and traction control.
Computer codes = put code reader to it and it pass them all.
Repairs for this problem: New brake pads and put more brake fluid in the holder
for fluid cause it was low and hooked my code reader to it and it says it passed all
codes
question = abs and brake and traction control lights are on my mom said she was
on the freeway and just out of the clear blue the lights came on and ever since
have not went off what can i do to get these lights to go off cause she dont have
no money to take into have all these things done.
Answer: A basic code reader will not usually check ABS codes, just engine codes,
so you are probably not able to access the information from the ABS system. If the
lights are coming on the dash, it will definitely have set a trouble code. Most
probable causes are a bad wheel speed sensor, which is part of the hub bearing,
or a cut or corroded wire somewhere in the ABS harness. If there is a faulty pump
motor or modulation valve, it is going to be a very expensive repair. The only way to
get the lights to turn off on the dash is to fix the problem that is causing them.
There is no way to just switch them off.
2002 Escalade EXT
Engine Size : 6.0 litre.
Question: My wifes EXT has heated leather seats. Is there a way to program seat heat to come on when
starting the vehicle with the remote start? We live in northern Canada and it would be nice to get into a warm
vehicle without the seats still being cold.
Answer: If your vehicle has an automatic climate control system,
the heated seats will come on automatically during a remote start
function in colder weather. If you do not have an automatic
climate control system, you have to manually turn on the heated
seats. This is not programmable in either fashion. That
information is straight from GM, and should be in your owner's
manual as well. As for what GM considers 'colder' weather is
highly questionable. A temperature that you might want the
heated seats to be on, might not be considered 'cold' to GM.
Whether you have automatic climate control or not, your best bet
for a warm interior when you get in, is to leave the heat on full
blast before you exit the truck, and then it will be on that when
you use your remote start to fire it up.
2003 Cadillac Deville 4.6l Northstar.
Computer codes = scan tool wont connect. Ground wire broke and shorted everything out.
Question = Nothing on the doors work. It has a remote car stater. When I go to turn it over it only
clicks. Iv tried the relearn process on for 10 min off for 5 sec three times. Checked fuses. Brand new
battery. Wondering if there's a way to check if my PCM is good with out going to dealer if not can I go
to a chevy dealer?
Answer: You can take your Cadillac to any GM dealer or brand
that you prefer, doesn't have to be just a Cadillac dealer. As for
your problem, if there is a clicking noise when you try to start the
car, you most likely do not have a theft problem. You probably
have a bad starter. There is no way for you to check the PCM to
see if it is good, unless you have a proper scanner, and not one
that just pulls codes. With nothing working on the doors, and your
ground wire short problem, you could have fried some wiring, or a
door module or other module on the car. There is a fuse box
located under your back seat, if you did not know about that
already, I would check those fuses too, as well as under the hood.
Could be something simple, but would need more checking into.
