brake sensor CADILLAC DEVILLE 1997 7.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine OVERDRIVE (@): This position is for normal driving.
If you need more power for passing, and you’re:
0 Going less than 35 mph (55 M), push the
accelerator pedal about halfway down.
0 Going about 35 mph (55 km/h) or more, push the
accelerator all the way down.
The transaxle will shift down to the next gear and
have more power.
NOTICE:
If your vehicle seems to start up rather slowly, or
if it doesn’t seem to shift gears as you accelerate,
something may
be wrong with a transaxle system
sensor. If you drive very far that
way, your
vehicle can
be damaged. So if this happens, have
your vehicle serviced right away. Until then, you
can use SECOND
(2) when you are driving less
than
35 mph (55 km/h) and OVERDRIVE (0)
for higher speeds. THIRD
(3): This
position is also used for normal
driving, however, it offers more power and lower fuel
economy than OVERDRIVE
(@).
Here are examples for using THIRD (3) instead of
OVERDRIVE
(a):
When driving on hilly, winding roads.
0 When towing a trailer, so there is less shifting
between gears.
0 When going down a steep hill.
SECOND
(2): This position gives you more power. You
can use
SECOND (2) on hills. It can help control your
speed as you go down steep mountain roads, but then
you would also want to use your brakes off and on.
I I
I NOTICE:
r
Don’t shift into SECOND (2) unless you are going
slower than
65 mph (105 km/h), or you can
damage your engine.

(INFO) button. The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts.
BRAKE VACUUM PROBLEM - 10s: The circuit in
the brake booster vacuum has shorted
or is loose when
this message appears. Your vehicle may lose power
brakes but you will still have the use of manual brakes.
The power brakes will not be affected if the problem is
caused by a failed sensor. Have your vehicle serviced
immediately at your Cadillac dealership.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL - 82: This means that the life
of the engine oil has expired and
it should be changed
within 200 miles. See “Engine Oil” and “Filter
Recommendations”
in the Maintenance Schedule booklet.
After an oil change, the Oil Life Indicator must be reset. See “Oil Life Indicator”
in the Index on how to reset it.
CHANGE TRANS FLUID - 47: This message will
appear when it is time to replace the transaxle fluid. See
the Maintenance Schedule booklet for the proper fluid
and change intervals.
CJ3ECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL - 37: This message
will display if the ignition is in the
RUN position to
inform the driver that the brake fluid level is low. Check
the brake reservoir level and add fluid as needed. Have
the brake system serviced by a Cadillac technician as soon
as possible. If the brake warning light is on, follow
the directions in that part.
CHECK COOLANT LEVEL - 02: This message will
appear when there is a low level
of engine coolant. Have
the cooling system serviced by a Cadillac technician as soon as possible.
CHECK FUEL GAGE - 39: This message will appear
when the fuel supply
is less than four gallons (15.2 L)
and the display is turned off (digital clusters only).
A single chime will also sound when this message
is displayed.
CHECK OIL LEVEL - 36: For correct operation of
the low oil sensing system, your vehicle should be on a
level surface.
A false CHECK OIL LEVEL message
may appear if the vehicle is parked
on grades. The oil
level sensing system does not check for actual oil level
if the engine has been off for a short period of time, and
the oil level
is never sensed while the engine is running.
If the CHECK OIL LEVEL message appears, and your
vehicle has been parked on level ground with the engine
off for at least 30 minutes, the oil level should be
checked by observing the oil dipstick. Prior to checking
the oil level, be sure the engine has been off for five
minutes and your vehicle is on a level surface. Then
check the dipstick and add oil if necessary. See “Engine
Oil” in the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PCM FAULT - 110: The circuit in the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) has shorted or is loose when this
message appears. Have your Cadillac serviced by your
dealership at once.
REDUCED ENGINE POWER - 41: This message
informs the driver, that due to wheel slippage, your vehicle
is reducing engine power to compensate for the loss of
traction. Accelerating too fast, causing the tires to spin,
is
an example of when this message would display.
REMOVE KEY - 70: This message will appear when
the Personalized Automotive Security System
(PASS-Key 11) is unable to read the pellet on the
ignition key or an improper key pellet has been inserted.
Wait for the DIC to display STARTING DISABLED
DUE TO THEFT SYSTEM REMOVE IGNITION
KEY. The instrument panel cluster will then run a timer
and change the messages to WAIT
3 MINUTES, WAIT
2 MINUTES, WAIT 1 MINUTE and then START CAR.
When the REMOVE KEY message is displayed, remove
the ignition key. Check the ignition key for damage. If it
is damaged, it may need to be replaced. If you
see no
damage, clean the pellet contacts with a soft cloth or
napkin before inserting the key back into the ignition. Have your vehicle serviced if the message still appears.
SERVICE A/C SYSTEM A/C COMPRESSOR
OFF - 14: This message appears when the electronic
sensors that control the air conditioning and heating systems
are no longer working. Have the climate control
system serviced if you notice a drop in heating and air
conditioning efficiency.
SERVICE AIR BAG - 83: There is a problem with the
Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (air bag) system when
this message appears. Let only a qualified technician
work on your vehicle.
See your Cadillac dealership for
service at once.
SERVICE BRAKE FLUID SWITCH - 37: A defect
in the brake fluid detection circuit causes this message
to display if the ignition is in the
RUN position. Have
the brake system serviced by a Cadillac technician as soon
as possible. If the brake warning light is on, refer
to the directions listed in that part.
SERVICE CHARGING SYSTEM - 102: This
message will display when a problem with the charging system has been detected. Have your vehicle serviced at
your Cadillac dealership.
SERVICE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - 106: This
message will display if an electrical problem has
occurred within the PCM. Have your vehicle serviced
by your Cadillac dealership.
SERVICE EMISSIONS SYSTEM - 104: A problem in
the emissions system has occurred when
this message
appears. Have your Cadillac dealership service your vehicle.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine SERVICE ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM - 103: A
problem within the engine cooling system has been
detected when this message displays. See your Cadillac
dealership for service.
SERVICE FUEL SYSTEM - 101: The PCM
has detected a problem within the fuel system when
this message appears.
See your Cadillac dealership
for service.
SERVICE IDLE CONTROL SYSTEM - 107: A
problem with the idle control has occurred when this
message displays. Bring your vehicle to your Cadillac
dealership for service.
SERVICE IGNITION SYSTEM - 105: This message
displays when a failure in the ignition system has been
detected. Have your vehicle serviced by your
Cadillac dealership.
SERVICE RIDE CONTROL - 84: This message is
displayed to indicate that the suspension system is not
operating properly. To correct this problem, have your
vehicle serviced at your Cadillac dealership.
SERVICE STEERING SYSTEM - 127: This message
is displayed when a problem has been detected in the
MAGNASTEER variable effort steering system. Service is required.
A single chime will also sound when
this message is displayed.
SERVICE TRANSMISSION - 100: If a problem is
detected with the transaxle, this message will appear.
Have your vehicle checked by your Cadillac dealership.
SPEED SENSOR FAULT - 109: A circuit problem
with the vehicle speed sensor will trigger this message
to appear. Have your Cadillac dealership service
your vehicle.
STABILITY ENGAGED - 55: If you have the DeVille
Concours, you may see the STABILITY ENGAGED
message on the Driver Information Center. It means that
an advanced, computer-controlled system has come on
to help your Cadillac continue to go in the direction in
which you’re steering. This stability enhancement
system activates when the computer senses that your
Cadillac is just starting to spin, as it might if you hit a
patch
of ice or other slippery spot on the road. When the
system is on, you may hear a noise or feel a vibration in
the brake pedal. This is normal.
When the STABILITY ENGAGED message is on, you should continue to steer in the direction you want to go.
.
The system is designed to help you in bad weather or
other difficult driving situations by making the most of
whatever road conditions will permit. If the STABILITY
ENGAGED message comes on, you’ll know that something has caused your Cadillac to start to spin,
so you should consider slowing down.
