Ranger Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 B1343 IPM HISTORY - AIR INLET DOOR MOVEMENT FAULT This is referring to the HVAC system. Not exactly sure which door they are talking about though. I would think it is the air mix door. Never heard it called an inlet door before. C1738 RSS CURRENT - EXHAUST SOLENOID VALVE SHORT TO GROUND This is the exhaust (vent) solenoid on the ELC compressor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you read the descriptions on the codes on this forum page, that what it says. Im sorry, for being a newbie, but what is the ELC compressor and would I be able to change this myself? If so what, what do i need to order and where is the solenoid located? I appreciate your response and would appreciate your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doz Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 C1738. Is this like egr? Or emission control? You don't need it. It just eats horsepower. Engine misfire I would look into. Test all wires. You might have a cylinder out. God forbid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Test all wires. You might have a cylinder out. God forbid. That statement is 100% NOT true. This is NOT like the original EGR valves from 1972, in addition that code has NOTHING to do with EGR Cylinder out? A misfire can be caused by a simple problem like a spark plug 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...

The compressor is located up in the fender well behind the RR wheel if I remember correctly. The solenoid should be on the compressor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my wires and spark plugs changed. It is running good now. The code has been cleared, so I will check later to see if it comes back. Also, the check engine light has gone out. So I will see if any of those codes will come back. What does the " Lost Comm with DIM"? what does this mean? Once again thank you for all the feedback.

Listen to this guy?, lose the attitude. Lets get something straight, when you make an erroneous statement it will be corrected, PERIOD. You said "YOU DON'T NEED IT and it WASTES HORSEPOWER"! I said that is 100% NOT true and that has NOT been true for a LONG TIME, you DO need it, and it does NOT waste horsepower. I didnt put you down, I simply corrected your erroneous statement!! EGR Flow on modern vehicles is extremetly important for proper combustion and cooling. Feel free to ask for help and give advice, if its wrong, don't get offended if I correct you, we can not allow disinformation or misinformation to remain for members to read it later....
