2009 Cadillac CTS-V Questions & Answers
CTS radio won't turn off
Disconnect Battery cable for 10 minutes or so and reconnect and You will probably have your problem fixed !
TRANSMISSION STUCK IN 3RD GEAR
This can be caused by several different things. First the onboard diagnostics have detected a problem and have shut the power off to the shift solenoids which defaults the transmissions to 3rd gear. Second the transmission fuse is blown ( sometimes this is called the ecm2 fuse) which kills power to the shift solenoids and defaults the transmission to 3rd gear. Third is low battery voltage or weak battery.If battery voltage drops below 10 volts sometimes the computer will put the vehicle in a failsafe mode and turn the power off to the shift solenoids ( thats right 3rd gear). These are the most common reasons but by no means the only.This should get you started , Have the codes pulled and a diagnostic run. If the transmission side of the computer is active then you know the fuse and power supply to the computer are ok. You will most likely find a code that points you in the direction of the problem.Be aware that many times the code will be for a solenoid , such as shift solenoid A . This does not mean that this solenoid is bad only that the current draw is not what the computer thinks it should be or the desired ratio is not what it should be.The computer has no way of knowing if a band is broken or a set of splines are stripped.Good Luck!
I have 2005 cts Car needs a jump everytime I cut
It could be bad connections to the battery causing a low amperage max. from the battery through the cables.
When you jump it you add the power of another battery to the cables on apparently clean cable ends and it starts.
Could be a bad starter, too.
CTS_V won't start. Steering wheel locked
Typicaly the security system won't look up the steering wheel, try putting the keys back in and at the same time you try to start the car, shake the wheel back and forth. If this don't cure your problem, and you still feel that this is a security problem , you can try to reset it. The most common way that I know of to reset on a GM product is to turn the keyto the on postion and leave it there for 15 min then shut back off, due this three times, then try to start the car.

Are you sure the engine is not grounded? Could be the starter relay. To make sure it is not a ground problem use a battery jumper cable and connect the engine to the negative battery post. Also make sure the battery did not lose its charge while working on the belt. Possible key left on.

My 2003 Cadillac CTS key stuck in the ignition and the gearshift is stuck
Is it stuck in the engine "off" position?
1.) Check your car battery. If it's very low or dead, it may be preventing the ignition from unlocking. If it's low or dead, charge it and try again.
2.) If the battery checks out okay, press firmly on the "S" button (sport mode) next to the gear shifter. Surprisingly, that somehow solves the issue sometimes.
3.) If that doesn't work, there may be a problem with the ECM. But try the two steps above first as needed, and if that doesn't work, feel free to post back.
