candie Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I am wondering, we had to replace our battery last week, got in car to use for 1st time since replacing battery and the read-out for LF tire had a few dashes, PSI followed by a few more dashes!! Husband checked tire, and added air and then took reading manually and it was fine, but electronically still had the previous reading! The other 3 tires all read properly! Being our first Cadillac and not really familiar with "fancy stuff", I am nervous! Is the car safe to drive, or would we harm it somehow? I LOVE THIS CAR!! Husband was out of work for over a year, and we live about 40 miles from nearest Cadillac Dealership, so unable to get serviced by Professional at this time!! I don't drive her "heavy", mainly city streets, grocery store, errands! I so appreciate any and all help and knowledge shared!! THANK YOU!!!

Texas Jim Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 After changing the battery...The dash on the tire pressure reading is fairly normal. I had my battery changed a couple of weeks ago, and all 4 of mine had dashes after that. Just take it to your local tire store and ask them to do a "RELEARN" on the pressure sensors. It won't take 'em 5 minutes to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfangd Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 The program procedure is easy. I recently replaced 2 sensors on a 01 Deville and programmed all 4. hope this helps Use a large magnet. If this procedure fails, try a magnet with greater flux density. 1) Ignition ON. 2) Press LOCK + UN-LOCK key fob buttons simultaneously until the horn chirps. 3) Starting with LF wheel, hold the magnet in contact with the valve stem until the horn chirps. Then RF, then RR, then LR. After LR, the horn will chirp twice to indicate the relearn was successful. There is a timer running that allows 1 minute between wheels and 5 minutes total elapsed time.

candie Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 THANK YOU!! I am SO GRATEFUL to have found this site and all of you helpful individuals! This Cadillac is my "baby" and so love everything about her, but, let's face it, she does have many "bells and whistles" that I never knew existed! Seems I am still discovering more of her "unique personality" every day!!! THANKS AGAIN!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, Thanks for reaching out with a helping hand!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One other thing you might try is to pull both battery cables and touch them together. It's kind of like a system reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stokes Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Dont have a specific "alarm" button.The unlock button shuts the alarm,which I pressed before starting the procedure.After starting the procedure,when I hold both buttons,the alarm goes on,if I press the unlock button it stops,but can I then continue with the procedure then?

Maybe your model requires a different procedure. On "MY" car... you start the TPMS learning sequence from the DIC. You can also go to just about any tire place and they will know the proper procedure and they can do it in about 2 or 3 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stokes Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I looked at a sevice bulletin at this site,related to this procedure and it seems to be the same as you describe.What do you mean by "you start the TPMS learning sequence from the DIC". Is the DIC supposed to be set to "Tire pressure info" before pushing the 2 buttons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 You have the correct procedure for a 2001. Was the ignition on or off? I think it has to be on, but I would not swear to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stokes Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 According to the service bulletin I saw "Ignition set to "run" but do not start engine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think yours has that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
