Bruce Nunnally Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 No, I am not sure without more info. Hopefully a sensor went bad or just needs to be reconnected. Please let us know what the dealer or mechanic finds. Bruce 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Follow me on: Twitter Instagram Youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadillac Jim Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Pull the OBD II codes from a CTS from the HVAC controls and post them here. Here's how: http://www.caddyinfo.com/readingcodes.html That will very likely tell what triggered the limp-home mode. -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.

Bruce Nunnally Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 The 2003 CTS had access to onboard diagnostics via the HVAC, but the 04+ do not. He'll have to run a scan tool to get codes I think. Bruce 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Follow me on: Twitter Instagram Youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
