2005 Cadillac SRX V6 - Page 3 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

It sounds like a bad fuel sending unit to me. You will probably also have fault codes stored in your engine computer or your instrument panel module for irrational fuel level data. Not only do you not know haow much gas is in your tank, but the computer needs this information also to control certain engine parameters and emission controls.

The sending unit is located inside the fuel tank. You may want to check around to see if anyone has just the sending unit itself instead of replacing the entire fuel pump module.
You may also want to go ahead and just replace the entire module anyway, depending on how many miles are on your vehicle. If you have 100,000 miles or more, it would be wise to just replace the whole thing to prevent having to pay the labor over again in a few thousand miles.

It will be on the lower side of the engine.
Easiest way is to follow the positive (+) wire on the battery down to the starter.

Hope this helps...

Give me some more information about this problem. May be i can help.

The upper and lower duct sensors are divided into left and right zone operation. The left side upper and lower duct sensors will only effect the operation of the left air temperature actuator and the right side upper and lower duct sensors will only effect the operation of the right air temperature actuator. The duct sensors are used to measure the temperature of the air exiting the ducts.

The inside temperature sensor operates within a temperature range between -6.5°C (20.3°F) to 57.5°C (135.5°F) . If the sensor is shorted to ground, the system will operate in the maximum cooling mode. If the sensor is shorted to voltage or open, the system will operate in the maximum heating mode. The ambient sensor operates within a temperature range between-30°C(-22°F) to 51°C (123.8°F) . If the HVAC control module (IPM) has determined that the ambient air temperature sensor has failed, the IPM shall display "- -" in place of the ambient air temperature. If the sensor is shorted to ground, the system will operate in the maximum cooling mode. If the sensor is shorted to voltage or open, the system will operate in the maximum heating mode.

You are not makining sense when you replaced a P/S belt and A/C is now non op You need to know what the pressure is Leave the sensor alone the problem reside in the engine compartment

Look at the underhood labels (DEXRON III), it should be printed on it or check in the Cadilac SRX Owners Manual




Hope this helps.

P0008 CADILLAC - Engine Positions System Performance Bank 1
The ECM detects that both camshafts on either bank of the engine are mis-aligned with the crankshaft for more than 4 seconds or a cumulative of 50 seconds.

The Engine Control Module (ECM) monitors the position of both camshafts and the crankshaft. The ECM performs a test for misalignment between both camshafts on one bank of the engine and the crankshaft. During the test the ECM learns the position of the camshafts and the crankshaft. While the engine is idling, the ECM compares the position of both the camshafts and the crankshaft with the learned value. The ECM will set the P0008 code if both learned values for one bank of the engine are exceeding a calibrated threshold in the same direction.

Symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)

Possible causes
- Engine mechanical problems
- Incorrect timing chain
- Stretched timing chain
- Failed camshaft actuator or actuator solenoid

Tech notes
There is a factory service bulletin for the following Cadillac models:

2004-2008 Cadillac CTS SRX
2005-2008 Cadillac STS

The service bulletin suggest replacing the primary drive and both secondary drive timing chains. Contact your Cadillac dealer for more information. The repair could still be cover under factory warranty.


Hope this helps (remember to rate this answer).

The decal should be availble from any GM dealer, it may have to be ordered. An other option is to have a sign shop that does decals print you one out.

If the unlock button on the keyfob is pressed for several seconds, all the windows will come down. This feature, active on my 2011 SRX, apparently is not in the manual -- but it is in the 2010 manual.

Below is a picture of the cylinders and where they are located. I hope this helps and good luck.

There is no replacement time. You replace it when it is leaking, or clogged so badly it cannot be flushed clean.

it is your rear O2 sensors, they monitor the cats and it does not affect the way the engine runs-that being said, you need to see if the harness is damaged going to the sensors, or more probable, a fuse for the heated element for the O2's is blown.

If you have no metric tools, your not able
to work on any car made since 1980

You never add any fluids ,to any vehicle systems.

You would have a leak and repair it

this is caused by the anti-theft system not reading the key proper. as a locksmith I can tell you that there is a cure for this and it does not cost very much.
what you will need to do is call a ' automotive ' locksmith and have them come out to your car and install a resistor at the ignition switch ( a resistor of the correct value of that in the key ) --- this will bypass the anti theft security of the car and fix this problem from ever happening again,, also a big plus is that you willl be able to get just regular keys copied at a cost of 2.25 instead of 26.00 + dollars. now there is a chance that a mobile mechanic that knows what he is doing can also come out and perform this same fix,, calling around and telling them what you want to do you should be able to find the right person at the right price,, again - a automotive locksmith is by far your best bet,, the cost for this service should be around 85 to 125.00 dollars ( depending on where you live ).
if you have any other questions about this problem - please feel free to write me back here and ask.

c...

you can find one at your local auto parts store

101-1 is the group size of the battery, I believe it is located under the back seat, Most Advance Auto Parts and Auto Zone will install the battery for free but the battery is about $150.

Hi,

If you have check engine light ON in this model, i would advise you to seek a dealer ASAP. as there could be many reasons. He would need to diagnose and scan the car. On the basis of that, he could tell the exact diagnosis. However, as you want more details, so below is the most probable cause ( again you need to get the car scanned ) :-

Subject: LP1, LY7 MIL/DTCs P0008, P0009, P0016, P0017, P0018 or P0019 (Replace Primary Drive and Both Secondary Drive Timing Chains) Models: 2007 Buick LaCrosse/Allure 2007 Cadillac CTS, SRX, STS with 2.8L HFV6 or 3.6L HFV6 Engine (VINs T, 7 -- RPOs LP1, LY7)
Attention: The bulletin does not apply for 2008 model year 2.8L HFV6 or 3.6L HFV6 Engines. This bulletin is being revised to include additional information on model years for the third design roller-type chain, add an Attention statement that this bulletin does not apply to the 2008 model year and update the Parts Information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 07-06-01-013A (Section 06 -- Engine/Propulsion System).
Some customers may comment on the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) being illuminated. Technicians may find the following Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored:
• DTC P0008 : Engine Position System Performance Bank 1 • DTC P0009 : Engine Position System Performance Bank 2 • DTC P0016 : Crankshaft Position (CKP) - Intake Camshaft Position (CMP) Correlation Bank 1 • DTC P0017: Crankshaft Position (CKP) - Exhaust Camshaft Position (CMP) Correlation Bank 1 • DTC P0018 : Crankshaft Position (CKP) - Intake Camshaft Position (CMP) Correlation Bank 2 • DTC P0019 : Crankshaft Position (CKP) - Exhaust Camshaft Position (CMP) Correlation Bank 2 This condition may be caused by stretched primary drive and both secondary drive timing chains.
Refer to SI for the follow diagnostic information if only one of the following DTCs are set:
• DTC P0008 • DTC P0009 • DTC P0016 • DTC P0017 • DTC P0018 • DTC P0019If there are more than one of the above mention DTCs set, inspect for stretched timing chains. Refer to Camshaft Timing Drive Components Cleaning and Inspection (Fourth Design) in SI.

It may take several thousand miles/kilometers of use before the timing chains begin to stretch. Inspect both the primary drive and both secondary drive timing chains for the following:
• Binding links • Loose links • Loose pinsIf any of the chains are stretched, replace the primary drive and both secondary drive timing chains only. DO NOT replace any of the other timing chain component parts.
Important: When ordering the timing chains, please be sure to also order all appropriate gaskets and seals needed to perform the repair properly

If the oil is not leaking from the engine ,it is being burned by the engine.This is common in a lot of the Cadillacs.most of the time the piston rings are stuck with carbon build up & cleaning the upper combustion with top engine cleaner will take care of it.
There are no recalls on timing chain stretch or camshafts for this vehicle at this time.

Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

i would check for obd codes and see if it still is misfiring and what cylinder

Hello: If all the electrical connectors are tight the the assembly will have to be replaced.
