SOURCE: service engine soon light on a 2000 cadillac seville

The service engine soon light indicates you have a problem with the engine management system.The only way to get it to stay off is to lacate and repair whatever is not working correctly. Requires very specialized equipment. Take it to your mechanic.

SOURCE: Replace tail lights

Usually all you have to do is pull back the inside trunk liner behind the tail lights from inside the trunk, or there may be a plastic door that you open to access the tail lights. The wires going to the tail lights connect to a plug that you turn counter clockwise and pull out from the back of the tail light assembly. Once you have removed the connector replace the bulb. Some light bulbs just pull straight out of the connector, others you may have to push in and turn counter clockwise to remove.

SOURCE: low oil pressure, stop car on 2001 cadillac seville

HI. this could be a faulty sensor or a bad oil pump screen as well. the oil pump malfunction is the worst scenario in this case. You can actually test the sensor with a voltage needle to see if its getting the proper voltage. i would inspect the wires that are attached to the sensor as well. if the wires are good and the current level is ok as well, it will most likely be a faulty oil pump or bad oil pump screen as well.

In this case, i would recommend inspecting the oil pump assembly. here is a inspection guide below that will help you confirm oil pump failure.

--OIL PUMP INSPECTION GUIDE--

  1. Clean the oil pump components with non-corrosive solvent.
  2. Dry the oil pump components with compressed air.
  3. Inspect the housing and the cover for cracks, scoring, casting imperfections and damaged threads.
  4. Inspect the gerotor gears for chipping, galling or wear.
  5. Inspect the pressure relief valve for embedded particles and/or damage.

The internal parts of the oil pump are not serviced separately. If wear or damage is noted, replace the entire pump assembly.

Please rate and have a great day:)

SOURCE: abs light/traction control light

You can check out what the trouble code is by pushing and holding the information button and the up arrow (right side of instrument cluster above the radio) until all the instrument clusters light. Press the information button (last) to enter test mode. I've had an error C1234, meaning Left rear wheel sensor fault. I found the problem to be a corroded connector under the chasis just under the rear left door about 2 feet in. I had to by-pass (replace 1 wire due to corrosion at the connector.

Can a pcm kill all power to the car

No, the Powertrain Control Module only does powertrain, but can prevent starting.

Lights and locks are the domain of the Body Control Module. Having said that, your Cadillac has dozens of large and small modules.

Check the fuses,

What kind of oil do I use for my 2001 Cadillac Seville

5w30 should be just fine. It should say right on the oil cap. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Thank you for using FixYa.com!

After filling the gas tank on my 2001 Cadillac Seville STS, the "check engine soon" light came on. I took the gas cap off and re-tightened it. The light is still on.

The fact that the light came on has nothing to do with filling your tank. The light is pre-programmed to come on following a combination of time, mileage and on some makes the usage profile, and it's telling you to get the engine serviced soon. After the service, the vehicle will need to be connected to a suitably-equipped computer to have the service light indicator reset. If you check in your Cadillac owners' handbook, the service section will give you details of which service items need to be attended to at the age and mileage of your vehicle. If it's just a simple oil and filters service then you may decide that you can do this yourself easily and save money. If there's more to the job, you can decide what you're comfortable doing yourself and then get a garage to do the rest: the less you leave to the garage, the lower the bill.

Ignoring the light will simply mean that your engine eventually has a breakdown which can be extremely expensive.
