Service ride control

I have a 94 cadillac deville with a service drive control indication light on.........i recently purchased this vehicle and when i did the dealer gave me a "we owe" form to fix this problem the only thing is the light is still on and when i asked the dealer about this problem he stated that it was fix and that he just couldn't get into the system to reset the light. I would like to know is there any truth in this and also is there any way i can find out if the work was completed on the vehicle. Also is this a serious problem.

The light can be reset using a diagnostic scan tool. perhaps the mechan did not have the right interface for your vehicle. the body control module is what is responsible for this system and not the ecm( engine control module)now the only way for sure to know if the mechanic actually fix the problem is to check if the parts needed were replace under the vehicle ie the the ride control servo motors on the rear axles and/or leveler valve

What does it mean when the dashboard reads gear indicator fault, service ride control and change oil soon even after i just got it changed along with service vehicle thats what keeps popping up on my dash...

Off the top of my head the following may be the case for your 1995 Cadillac Deville based on my 1997 Cadillac Deville knowledge:

gear indicator fault- has to do with the shift lever sensor down on the column by the feet,

service ride control- has to do with the air ride shocks in the back or the compressor in the front or the ride control height,

change oil soon- has to do with not resetting the % oil life (just press reset button for a few seconds when the oil % life is displayed)

Hope this helps you out.

Service ride control dash lights and stays on

You have one or more Electronic Shocks going bad on your vehicle suspension. The shocks are pretty expensive, about $500-600 dollars apiece from the Cadillac Dealer. If you want to turn the light off you can disconnect the battery for about 15 min. , but the Trouble Code may come on again.

Whath does "service engine soonmeans"

SERVICE ENGINE SOON and SERVICE ENGINE NOW are 2 amber warning lights pertaining to the vehicles computers.SERVICE SOON advises you of a problem, although not an emergency should be attended to promptly. Your technician can trace the problem by accessing fault codes through the climate control panel. SERVICE NOW indicates a more severe problem which will most likely precipitate a failure / breakdown. The CHANGE OIL LIGHT indicates by time and mileage is a separate light.
