This code means there has been excessive slip in the transmission, possibly due to lack of fluid.

Check the fluid level by warming up the car then check the dipstick with the engine still running.

Or....you may have a faulty vehicle speed sensor (VSS) located on the output shaft transmission casing.

I have a 1998 cadillac deville concours , the shift indicator light in the dash blinks in park do you have anything on this ?

I have seen this to be a false code before....First make sure trans fluid is at correct level and no leaks..,make sure it shifts correctly while driving...Set park brake,wear safety glasses..Disconnect Negative battery cable for 10 seconds to clear code and reset computer...Reconnect and then test drive...If light stays off it was a false code...It could be a simple problem but save time and money and have it scanned at dealer...

Heater on 96 cadillac deville concours doesnt turn on

Hello. The most likely cause of your problem is that the heater/AC relay is on it's last legs. This easy to change. Go to any auto parts store to obtain the part, and ask them to show you where it is located [under the dash]. Then just unplug the old and plug in the new. Regards, Joe PS kindly rate my answer. thank you.

Possible that wire could be loose,but i would rather suggest that resistor on the blower might be the problem.The second possible problem could relay, but it would be a rare occurence that relay goes bad.Hope I could help.

Does anyone know what this means Transmission history P O 730

Have you changed tires and wheels to a different size? If so, that will cause a code to come up. The gear ratio is set as a value in your computer. If you change tire sizes that will cause this problem. You can have this recalibrated at your Pontiac dealer. Good luck! Phil
