franey Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 I just replaced the crankshaft senors , upper and lower on my 2000 , SLS. Now, I have come across a paragraph in a shop book , that says in the 2000 and later Sevilles, that the crankshaft sensors have to be syncronized with the PCM. It says this is a dealer adjustment only.Please advise if this is correct. THANK YOU \\ F RANEY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodybyFisher Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Disconnect the battery if you have not and let the system do a full 'reboot', we have had members change crank sensors without going to the dealer Pre-1995 - DTC codes OBD1 >> 1996 and newer - DTC codes OBD2 >> https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/gm/obd_codes.htm How to check for codes Caddyinfo How To Technical Archive >> http://www.caddyinfo.com/wordpress/cadillac-how-to-faq/ Cadillac History & Specifications Year by Year http://www.motorera.com/cadillac/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlaValentine Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 If I remember correctly from what I read when I researched it before for another car I worked on, what you are talking about is called a "CKP System Variation Learn Procedure" and is recommended on OBD2 cars after the sensor has been replaced. From what I remember it can be done with a TechII or any code reader capable of doing it. If I can find the page I got the info from again, I will post it. When I changed the sensor on the car I was working on, the procedure wasn't done and it still runs great, so maybe it isn't a NECESSARY thing to do, but is recommended.

Ranger Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Most of the time the relearn does not need to be done. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlaValentine Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Most of the time the relearn does not need to be done. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I would agree. If you change the CKP and the car runs well, then I wouldn't bother with it. If the car has running problems though, then you might want to do it. Also, sometimes OBD2 cars will set a code P1336 which indicates that the procedure hasn't been done. That code will turn on your SES light, in which case you would have to do the relearn to clear the code as most states will not pass a car for inspection if the SES light is on and codes are present.

OynxSTS Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 I have replaced the sensors on three cars... Eventually all of the OEM sensors will fail and none of them needed the relearn procedure. Stab them in a see how it runs. If there is any stumble then take it in and pay the $100 plus for the TechII relearn. Otherwise... save your money.

Texas Jim Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Paid $42.50 for the relearn procedure at dealer. My car was running crappy. Not anymore!!!! Very good price. A lot of Dealers will charge a one hour minimum. Glad you have it running right. They are sure fun to drive when they are running well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
