    Thanks for the answer. I have MS so my mechanical skills are null and void. Is this an easy fix? Also I have a 1997 Cadillac Eldorado and the accelator tachs at 2 rpms just when idling. Almost like having a permanent Cruise Control. I Think know where the Ignition sensor is located, but the back screw looks impossible withot supporting the engine, since I believe the Sensor is located below the motor support bar.

Diagnostic Test Code (DTC) P1645 is described by the vehicle manufacturer as "EVAP Purge Solenoid Output Circuit".

  • Anonymous May 14, 2012

    Opps - sorry, did not intend to post yet.

    Please note that this DTC is a "manufacturer-specific" DTC. These types of DTCs can vary from one manufacturer to the next and can sometimes also vary between different car lines within the same manufacturer. If you are using a "generic" OBD fault code list to try to find the definition of this code, this explains why you cannot find it. Fault codes with the designation of "P1xxx" are ALWAYS manufacturer-specific codes and MUST be looked up in the service information for the particular vehicle that is published by the manufacturer.

    Specifics on this code for a 1997 Cadillac Deville:

    The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) contains Output Driver Modules (ODM) that provides switchable ground outputs for operating solenoids, relays, indicator lights, and other devices.
    Each of these ground outputs has fault lines that feed back to the PCM's microprocessor.
    When the output is off, the output driver should receive the 12 volts (minus normal device resistance) that is fed to the solenoid, relay, light bulb, etc.
    When the output is on, it should recieve zero volts, since it is grounding the output.
    If the PCM sees zero volts when the output is off or it sees 12 volts when the output is on, it sets a fault line low.
    This DTC is used to monitor the fault line of the EVAP Purge Control solenoid.

    It is difficult to say if it is going to be an "easy fix" before the circuits are tested and the CAUSE of the fault has been determined. It could be anything from a loose connector, to a damaged/open coil in the purge control solenoid itself, or a wiring harness that has been chewed up by rodents.

SOURCE: 1999 cadillac deville a/c off low refrig error

I had the same problem. The mechanic could not get the compressor to take in new freon. It has to do with the car's memory. You have to reset it by disconnecting the hot wire from the battery which for thirty seconds. This resets the cars internal memory, so it won't remember that it's out of freon. Reconnect it turn on the car and turn on the air the compressor will start.

SOURCE: Check engine light on, 1997 cadillac Deville.PCM codes

PO135 is oxygen sensor Bank1 sensor1. PO404 is EGR.
personally, I'd pull EGR off, clean pintle good with throttle body cleaner or carb cleaner, re-install, erase codes & try it for a while & see if it code(s) come back.

What order do the spark plug wires go on a1974 Cadillac Deville

My Chilton book only shows 1 firing order for Cadillac engines from 1968 to 1974. It is 1-5-6-3-4-2-7-8. The distributor runs clockwise. #1 wire should be between 8 and 9 o'clock,from the front of the car. This should place it over the window used to set the dwell. The odd number cylinders are on the passenger side, front to back and the even ones on the driver's side, front to back. Hope this helps.

Hi, The 2 codes showing up are p1000 & p1645.engine light on I had the battery die on me 10days back...the car had completely stalled

P1000 is a keep alive memory code, nothing to worry about. p1645 is probably loss or low power codes from the battery going dead. I would just erase these codes and go from there.

P1645 trouble code .

This is a problem with the EVAP system, probably a solenoid failure or blocked purge canister.

The EVAP system is designed to prevent fuel vapours from the fuel tank escaping into the atmosphere. It is part of the emissions system.
