Cadillac CTS - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support
Has no reverse. Will go
Your transmission is bad. You need to replace it soon if you are still driving it. At any moment you may lose forward and only have reverse (trust me it happened to me and I was dumb enough to drive it seven blocks back home in reverse).
ECM replacement for an '05 Cadillac CTS 3.6L
I was reading through the replacement procedure for the ecm in your vehicle.Here`s what I found.you may use a used ecm but it does have to be reprogrammed to your vehicle and it can only be done at the dealership.This I know because I worked at a Cadillac and G.M. dealership.I worked at a dealership for 16 yrs.The other thing is you don`t` need the vehicles vin that the used computer came from.The only one you need is your vin number.This number has all the information that your car is equipt with.The used ecm will have the other vehicles fuel continue password so the programming will put in the fuel continue from your vehicle.The other thing that needs to be programmed is the engine oil life and the transmission oil life or they revert to 100%.Then an idle relearn procedure will have to be performed.The only thing any other shop can do is get the codes or clear the codes.But they can not program a computer.Only the authorized dealerships have this software.Hope this helps clear up your any questions.Good luck.

NEW PARTS FROM gm OR AFTER MARKET STUFF.
THAT IS P2 OEM FACTORY ONLY CODE.
well did you use the scan tool after all those new parts
TB and pedal
and reset all DTC then drive plenty ? to see it fail again
if yes,bad wiring. or using wrong parts.
no engine told at all
no VIN told, no RPO codes for engine. told.
lacking that it be super easy to get wrong parts, on 3 _+ engines
2,8L , 3.6, and 5.7L V8
none told. and is a pure engine EFI question
to work on any car not knowing what is there, we read the RPO tag
shows engine codes. and we buy parts only ON THAT>
all 3 TB ARE DIFFERENT.
Most of these parts have connector that lock, some are double locked, and if forced are broken.
try re-seating all TB and pedal connectors, with due care.
fully re-seated.
and wire damage.

How to brighten dash lights
The dimmer for my dash lights on my 05 Cadillac CTS is just below the sunroof control. It also turns on the interior lights. I drove this car over a year before I figured it out which was by accident!
