davedog Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 anyone know how to pull up the codes on my 2005 SRX? Don't know if this makes a difference, but it DOES NOT have the DVD navigation system. No problems thus far, just curious.

Bruce Nunnally Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 The 3.2's you could pull codes by holding down the F1 and F6 on the radio simultaneously; this does not work on my 3.6L and I suppose does not on the SRX. I don't know of a way to access onboard diagnostics on the current CTS/SRX.

DaveDog, I thought the OBDII bacame too complicated as the newer cars have like 500 codes, that's why scanners are no good on the newer cars... I assume the same thing happened to the onboard diagnostics... Let us know how you make out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BodybyFisher Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 dave, consider buying autotap. See it here its reasonable if you ask me. I am about to buy an ACER laptop and autotap will be my first purchase. Mike http://www.autotap.com/ If you do not want to spend that much, you can buy a code reader from any autoparts store like this one, I have seen them for $50 http://www.toolsource.com/ost/product.asp?...U5LN58G5K8445LF 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...

Check it out...if yo are just curous on codes, don't buy- rent.! my .02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodybyFisher Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Yea but it looks so good on my work bench, and I wow people when I hook it up to their car and tell them why the check engine light is on and then erase it... For me to drive to Autozone, find someone to help me, and then have to deal with some 20 year old know it all, I would rather spend the $50 and keep it in my garage. I have a hard time having to depend on someone else just because I get a check engine light. For your average SCHMO on the block that knows ZIP about their car that's fine, not for me however...

davedog Posted February 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Thanks guys! I'm loving this caddy, I just feel lost without the ability to hit a couple of buttons and diagnose the systems. Hopefully though, I won't have to do that for a long time, but if I do, now I know what do do...THANKS!! I already own a laptop, I REALLY like the looks of that software Mike, good find. If you buy it please write us a review. I might buy one some day. -dave Crystal Red Tintcoat Exterior | Shale/Brownstone Interior | 32k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
