You mean a scan tool or code reader ? You hooked it up where ? DLC - diagnostic link connector near - under the steering column ? Cadillac what ? Deville - Seville - Eldorado etc... Do you know how to do electrical testing with a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter ? If you did something to pin #2 in the DLC , shorted ! that will cause this problem . Pin #2 is for class 2 serial data bus network . All the modules on the vehicle communicate on this circuit . Pin's 4 & 5 are ground , pin 16 is battery voltage . Your best bet is probably to take your vehicle to a ASE certified repair shop .

Why is myelectronic climate control panel Dead No Lights no blowers no air or heat.

I like some of these answers these people post , I believe people need an want to have a little more info then that ! The guy can't even spell ! Neads -- needs diagnostic done on it , an what kind of diagnostics does it need ? Well lets see if I can shed some light on the situation ! I worked at a Cadillac dealership back in the late 80's . The climate control panel is electronic an is hooked up to the BCM - body control module another electronic control module an when operating as designed they communicate info back an forth but yours is dead an the BCM isn't see any info . an the BCM has the function of the security system probably too . An it won't let it start ! Your probably going to need a new climate control head ! This system is connected to diagnostics it's self , if you push the off an warmer buttons at the same time it will go into diagnostic mode an show codes , an do on vehicle self test . With out the service manual you can't do it yourself !

I changed fuel pump on my 2002 Cadillac deville and reset timing,but when I start the car it doesn't idle well and it smokes black.what is the problem now?

timing is not adjustable on cadillacs,you need to hook up a scanner and check for codes or use the control panel on your dash to pull codes,good luck.

2002 Cadillac Escalade transmission slipping, what's the cause?

When a transmission slips- it already has internal
damage & you driving it that way, leaves only one option

A $4,000 rebuild

Then maybe more diagnostics, to find out what started all that

Being a 2002 --it is well worn out anyway

If you failed to change the fluid every 2 or 3 years since new

That maybe why it failed also,most common reason for trans
failure

2002 cadillac Deville won't stay charged what could he problem be. New battery and still won't hold a charge

It could be a bad alternator not keeping the battery charged. You need to check the starting and charging systems with diagnostic meters to find the problem.

Going down the road car starts to skip running ruff then shut off had to be tow after couple hours car starts now running fine

If your check engine light is on take the car to an auto parts store like Advance or Auto Zone they can hook up a diagnostic reader for free and tell you what kind of trouble codes are stored in the car's computer. Sounds like you may have a vacuum leak or need to replace your mass air flow sensor.
