This shut off happens because a sensor is sending a signal to the computer telling it to do so because there is a severe problem. Cadillacs are notorious for coolant issues. Take it to a mechanic who can check and reset your codes, he may also tell you what the problem is. Good luck.

Have a 2001 Cadillac DHS, no brake lights, cannot find the exact fuse location. Shud be under rear seat but none are listed as BRAKE LIGHTS

What's a DHS ?
Stop Lamps

The STOP LP fuse in the rear fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the normally open stop lamp switch. When the brake pedal is pressed, the stop lamp switch contacts close and battery positive voltage is supplied to the center high mounted stop lamp (CHMSL) and the turn signal/hazard flasher module stop lamp switch signal input. In response to this input the turn signal/hazard flasher module supplies battery positive voltage to the left and right LED tail lamp assemblies. The CHMSL and left tail lamp have ground at G402. The right tail lamp has ground at G401. The stop lamps illuminate when they receive both power and ground.

2002 Cadillac deville DHS. Before take the smork

Whatever is causing the timing adjust itself at the wrong time. It could be anything from a vacuum leak, to a coolant sensor to electrical problem. By reading all the LIVE READINGS from the sensors & getting an emissions reading will help u narrow down the problem. It doesn't sound like a DIY fix. Equipment needed

I own a 2001 Cadillac DHS. The "SERVICE ENGINE

p0071 is the ambient temp sensor which is located by the hood latch behind the grill. They have the yendency just to go bad and you can replace the part for about 30.00 dollars. The dealer is usually higher than a transmission shop. It requires removing the engine and transmission at the same time which means removing the complete frame. A smaller shop may be able to beat the price if you can find one that works on caddies. Some will and some won't. I would shop around.

My 92 Caddy Deville has reverse lights that stay on while I'm driving, how do I get them to turn off?

Hello: The back up lights get 12volts through the neutral safety switch. This is mounted on the top of the transmission on the drivers side. The switch could be out of adjustment and or failed or the wiring could be bad. To check te wiring disconnect both connectors on the switch, turn key on engine off apply park brake put transmission in drive and check to see if the reverse lights are on.
