If your theft light is on and stays on after the key is in the on position after self check, then you will most definitely have a no start condition. You can try leaving the key on for about 15 minutes to see if the theft system will reset. If so, you will probably need to have the lock cylinder and halo replaced.

SOURCE: Burning rubber smell inside car-2003 CTS Cadillac

Diagnosing this will be subject to a process of elimination. It could be the radio, blower motor or any other accessory particularly ones with moving parts; Try switching those off and try to note when this problem occurs and what is on/whatyou are doing. Something is getting hot causing the smell so it will be a situation where the accessory will have to run a while before doing it. It is a possibility that there is an electical curcuit overheating, but less likely. Lets rule out accessories first and give us an update. GL

My 2003 CTS would not start on the first, second or third try after filling the gas tank. Finally after several months of this occuring every two weeks a check engine light came on. It was the evac purge valve. Tom

SOURCE: 2003 Cadillac CTS won't start after disconnecting battery

Don't do that again! You will need to re-boot the on board computer system by entering a code. Call your nearest Cadillac dealer.

SOURCE: my 2004 cadillac cts says service anti theft

you have a low voltage problem. either a bad battery or a brake in a wire somewhere. My sister had the same problem in her car. Had it to the gm dealer 3 times they couldnt figure it out. I put a new battery in, new wire from batter to starter, and a new altenater and wires to it. just by dumb luck i noticed the (+) wire from the bat to the fuse box under the hood was broke at the fuse box. Put new wire on it and 2.5 years later no problems.

2006 Cadillac DTS. I need wiring diagram for it please?

Hi Joan Whittaker,what does no crank mean.
the starter motor is dead? some posters call d crank= running engine.
which engine there? cranks fast but will not start.
underhood fuse box f24 blown?
step 2 after all fuses checked is:
shift to Neutral see if that allows cranking per my red circle below
is PCM control.
is the dash IMMO lamp happy?

as you can see the pcm decides to do the cranking or not
via its starter relay.
if you scanned the PCM it will tell you why it id not start.
immo error OR A/t PRNDL (TRS) ERRORS. OOPS




dts-undefined-undefined-0.jpg the IMMO page in your users guide covers IMMO
if key 1 fails try key2, car came with 2 keys new.
READ ALL PAGES ON IMMO FIRST

If the engine does not start and the Security System
Light comes on
Security System Light (CLUSTER LAMP ICON LOOKS LIKE CAR CUT IN HALF WITH A PADLOCK, never ignore this lamp.
This light flashes when the Theft
Deterrent System has been
activated.

My cadillac 04 cts wont start. Thinks its the scurtiy feature. Any1 have a idea

Is the security light lit ? Car an pad lock symbol . If any of these are lit it is the anti-theft system . Does the engine crank over but won't start an run ? The anti-theft system will allow the engine to crank but not start , disables fuel injectors . If the anti-theft light is lit there are DTC'S diagnostic trouble codes stored in the theft deterrent module an or the ECM .
Does anything happen when you turn the key to the start position ?

2007 cts ran hot. filled with antifreeze and now will not start. could it be the battery

did you run it to boiling point? if so and engine is spinning faster than normal you might have a blow gasket. crank engine with radiator full of water if it comes out of radiator when cranking gasket blown.
