Cadillac Jim Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 If there was no code to clear, you got the problem by reconnecting the oil pressure switch, as expected. You're done. There is another sensor, the oil level sensor, that was mentioned in error. Your engine holds about 7 liters of oil. In the event that it gets down to about 4 liters, you will get a message on the driver message center "CHECK ENGINE OIL." This is the function of the oil level sensor. When you see this warning, you should add oil before spending a day on the Autobahn because 5 or 6 liters of oil will keep the engine cooler. I keep at least 6 liters of oil in my engine; that's above the ADD mark on the dipstick. I believe that all of your issues have been settled, and you are good to go. Congratulations on your find. Please stay with us and give us updates occasionally. I notice that you posted photos on the Cadillac Photography board.

Cadillac Jim Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 The ICCS2 codes are from the wheel sensors for the road sensing suspension. These connectors are accessible from under the car. They are on all four wheels. They can be shorted by power-washing under the car or by salt slush. I would make sure that the undercar is clean, and clean and inspect the connectors on all four wheels. If it happens again I would look for loose or damaged wires elsewhere under the car and between the engine and the firewall. Make sure that any wire holders are intact and holding the wires away from the engine or from drooping under the car. If you had the car airborne, you must be enjoying it thoroughly. -- 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.

Ranger Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 is the oil-level sensor not at the oil-pan and goes straight in a straight in direction to the front of the car? Correct. It is in the side of the oil pan. If you pull it (with the pan full), you'll drain about 2 qts of oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterset Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 antifreeze are fresh, check the belts and hoses belts and hoses are like new (i know......they 10 years old, but anyway) the antifreeze ........ i will change it as soond as i can.....but access to the lower radiator hose does not like easy for me at the 1999 tabs: i have left I never replaced any hoses on my '96, and they all are all still good. - just make sure it's not rubbing somewhere causing it to wear. I checked out your super clean ride. looks like you may still have the nylon fuel line in there. there was a recall in the USA a few years ago where the plastic fuel rail was replaced by stainless steel. Should you indeed have it, you might want to at least inspect the black fuel line for cracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
