Welcome.

The messages with "exp" relate to exported vehicles and beyond that, I am useless.

Your speed limited message is because of a malfunction somewhere. And to identify the somewhere, you need to display the OnBoard Diagnostic (OBD) trouble codes. To display the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) on your car, read here

Sorry for all the abbreviations, but that is the jargon we all have to deal with :)

I should have added this. When you are displaying DTCs related to your speed limited message, the important codes will be "C" codes.

Post them here and help will follow.

C1252 Left Front Normal Force Malfunction

C1253 Right Front Normal Force Malfunction

U1255 Class 2 Communication Malfunction (Serial Data Line Malfunction)

P1611 Loss of CVRTD Serial Data

P1652 Powertrain Induced Chassis Pitch Output Circuit

It looks like a bad connection between the wiring harness and the accelerometers in the front. This will disable Stabilitrak, which gives the speed limit of 90 mph. I don't have manuals on the 1998+ Seville, so someone who does, or who has experience with these, will step in.

Is the "speed limited" message still displayed after clearing the codes?

All four of the codes you reported have one thing in common and that is the CVRSS module which is located on the RH side of the car behind the rear seat back cushion. One possibility is damaged wire harness or connector. Another is failed module. CVRSS = Constant Velocity Road Sensing Suspension.

One other possibility is also a wiring or connector problem at the EBTCM (Electronic Brake and Traction Control Module). This module is at the bottom front LH corner of the engine cradle and will have 6 hydraulic brake lines connected to it.

And yes, the Service Manuals will have details for all codes.

Any luck with this?

I recently purchased a 99 STS export, not knowing but no big deal.

My DTC's read

EXP ID 113

Speed limited to 90

Codes are

C1710 Current

C1715 Current

any help would be much appreciated.

Car does not sag, I just want to erase the codes.
