Bruce Nunnally Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Not sure what the key/security problem is yet based on your description. Do you know why the remote is not working? May just need a battery, which is a fairly standard watch battery. Just pry the keyfob apart and you can get the number on the battery so you get the right replacement.

Cadillac Jim Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 From the sound of it the fob probably needs to be resynchronized with the car. That's on page 9K-5 of the 1997 FSM, and it's simple: Press and hold the TRUNK button and within one second, press and hold the LOCK button. Continue to hold both buttons for approximately seven seconds and then release. If the transmitter was out of synchronization, it will now function properly. I would put a fresh battery in it first just to make sure that the battery isn't the main cause of the problem. -- 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.
