I have a 2001 Cadillac deville. The car shuts off sometimes when I am stopped for a short while. My digital dash says to change my oil,check coolant,and now my wipers stopped working. I changed the oil,but I stlli get same messages. Other than this the car runs very nice. When I got obd2 check it says to replace crank sensor!! Can this be the cause!!

The crank sensor can cause the stalling out but as far as the oil change message and the wiper and the low coolant these are not related, the oil change message has to be reset look in the owners book for steps to reset it, the low coolant light is common, this is low coolant or the sensor is dirty or bad and the wipers, you will need to test for power at the motor if theres power at the motor then the motor just went bad but has nothing to do with the stalling out.

Unfortunately the obd2 errors are read off the computer and since your indications are all over the place, I wouldn't trust that error code unless it continues to come up.

I would first check the electrical system and if that comes back clean, then I would suspect the on board computer system.

You said that the check oil was not corrected after an oil change, but didn't say whether the coolant light went out after you filled that up. Or if the wipers work in any position, and whether you checked the wiper fuse.

What does it mean when my dash says stop engine.. overheated.. and it was saying change oil.. and white smoke blows out tailpipies sometimes.. i just bought a thermostat and new coolant. its getting done...

Hello: From your description it sounds like you may have a blown head gasket. Find out if you have a repair shop that has the tool to check the coolant for exhaust gas in the cooling system

What does it mean when the dashboard reads gear indicator fault, service ride control and change oil soon even after i just got it changed along with service vehicle thats what keeps popping up on my dash...

Off the top of my head the following may be the case for your 1995 Cadillac Deville based on my 1997 Cadillac Deville knowledge:

gear indicator fault- has to do with the shift lever sensor down on the column by the feet,

service ride control- has to do with the air ride shocks in the back or the compressor in the front or the ride control height,

change oil soon- has to do with not resetting the % oil life (just press reset button for a few seconds when the oil % life is displayed)

Hope this helps you out.
