I have a 2008 Cadillac CTS that won't start. And a engine losing power sign showed up on the dashboard right before it turned off on me..

engine losing power sign ??? .You mean ENGINE POWER REDUCED ? This has to do with electronic throttle control -Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) System Description

The throttle actuator control (TAC) system is used to improve emissions, fuel economy, and driveability. The TAC system eliminates the mechanical link between the accelerator pedal and the throttle plate. The TAC system eliminates the need for a cruise control module and idle air control motor. The following is a list of TAC system components:
• The accelerator pedal assembly includes the following components:
- The accelerator pedal
- The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor 1
- The APP sensor 2
• The throttle body assembly includes the following components:
- The throttle position (TP) sensor 1
- The TP sensor 2
- The throttle actuator motor
- The throttle plate
• The engine control module (ECM)

TAC System Default Actions/Reduce Power Modes
There are 2 reduce power modes that the engine control module (ECM) can default to if an error is detected in the throttle actuator control (TAC) system. If an accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor 1 or APP sensor 2 circuit fault, throttle position (TP) sensor 2 circuit fault, or if a TP sensor 1 circuit fault is detected with some APP angle, the ECM goes into one of the 2 reduce power modes. In this mode, the engine torque is limited so that the vehicle cannot reach speeds of more than 100 km/h (60 mph). The ECM remains in this reduce power mode during the entire ignition cycle even if the fault is corrected.
If there is a condition with the throttle actuator control circuits, throttle actuator command vs actual position fault, return spring check fault, or a TP sensor 1 circuit fault, the ECM goes into the other reduce engine power mode. In this mode, the engine speed is limited to 2,500 RPM and the 3-6 fuel injectors are randomly turned OFF. At this time the Reduced Power indicator is commanded ON. The ECM remains in the reduce power mode during the entire ignition cycle even if the fault is corrected. Observe, if a TP sensor 1 or throttle actuator control circuit fault is present at the time the vehicle is at idle, with no accelerator pedal angle, the engine may stall.

Have a Chev Equinox, 2013, reduced power to engine notice popped up. Checked oil and it was really low. Added oil and won't start. Is there some sequence to do to reset the fuel pump maybe?

Sorry , no reset for the fuel pump . Reduced engine power message is for the TAC - throttle actuator control system . Electronic throttle control .

I HAVE A 2008 CHEVY IMPALA LS A I GOT A MESSAGE ON MY CAR SAYING ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED.

Engine power is usually reduced in response to a fault being registered by the computer management. A fault that would affect exhaust emissions would usually switch on the check engine light and so your engine fault is likely to be outside the scope of OBD2 and need dealer level software to diagnose.

My 2006 Buick Lacrosse suddenly started pulling to the right and became very hard to steer. Then the "Charging System Failure" warning came on. What could this be?

Do you know if your vehicle has --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Power Steering System (w/o Electro-Hydraulic Steering) or
Variable Effort Steering System
The variable effort steering (VES) system or MAGNASTEER® varies the amount of effort required to steer the vehicle as vehicle speed changes. At low speeds, the system provides minimal steering effort for easy turning and parking maneuvers. Steering effort is increased at higher speeds to provide firmer steering for increased road feel and directional stability. The electronic brake control module (EBCM) controls a bi-directional magnetic rotary actuator located in the steering rack and pinion. The EBCM varies the steering assist by adjusting the current flow through the actuator to achieve a given level of effort to steer the vehicle. The VES system accomplishes this by adding or subtracting torque on the input shaft to the rack and pinion. The main component of the system is an electromagnetic actuator, which consists of a multiple-pole ring-style permanent magnet, a pole piece, and an electromagnetic coil assembly. The VES system uses the ABS wheel speed sensor inputs to determine vehicle speed. When the EBCM senses wheel speed, it commands a current to the VES actuator that is most appropriate for each speed. The EBCM commands current from negative two amps to positive three amps to the actuator, which is polarized. At low speeds, a negative current is commanded, which assists steering. At medium speeds no current is commanded and steering is assisted by hydraulics only. At high speeds, a positive current is commanded, which creates steering resistance. Ignition voltage and ground are provided through the EBCM. The EBCM has the ability to detect malfunctions in the actuator or the circuits to the actuator. Any malfunctions detected will cause the system to ramp to zero amps and steering will be assisted by hydraulics only and set a DTC.
Are there any other lights lit on the dash ? ABS ?
DTC C0450 Steering Assist Control Solenoid/Motor/Actuator Circuit could have a diagnostic trouble code !
The electronic brake control module (EBCM) commands current from 0-1 amp to the variable effort steering (VES) actuator, depending on vehicle speed. At low speeds, 1 amp of current is commanded to the actuator and the actuator valve is fully closed. A speed increases, less current is commanded to the actuator and the valve opens, allowing pressure to bleed off through a power steering fluid orifice. The EBCM monitors and compares the Commanded and Feedback Current parameters to detect malfunctions in the VES system.
Or you could have a bad steering rack !
Charging System/Generator Fault
Refer to Charging System Description and Operation in Engine Electrical
Alternator problem maybe !
The electrical power management (EPM) system is designed to monitor and control the charging system and send diagnostic messages to alert the driver of possible problems with the battery and generator. This EPM system primarily utilizes existing on-board computer capability to maximize the effectiveness of the generator, to manage the load, improve battery state-of-charge (SOC) and life, and minimize the system's impact on fuel economy. The EPM system performs 3 basic functions:
• It monitors the battery voltage and estimates the battery condition.
• It takes corrective actions by adjusting the regulated voltage.
• It performs diagnostics and driver notification.

Service power steering alert/dts code c0450 on 08 CTS. Please continue to read-it gets interesting!

If it works with out the bearing sensor being plugged Leave it. You may get ABS codes/light, but you still have brakes. Just not anti lock. The steering module is bad. You have already proved it, You unplug it, It works. Plug it in, it is bad. It is shorted out in side the computer. I just did a diesel engine, Called the computer after 30 minutes. Owner of the diesel said it wasn't. Reached up and pushed a solenoid for fuel shut off. I told them all, it just proved my point, The computer is supposed to do this. They replaced the solenoid, still no start.

It has duel climate controls. With both set to 60, driver's side blows hot while passenger's side blows cool. What does it sound like

our honda crv did this , there was a problem with the heater core being partially pluged...there ended up being a recall on heater core

Not working right

code p0014 refers to camshaft position(CMP) actuator . exhaust /right /rear bank 1--timing over advanced/system performance===causes valve timing--engine mechanical fault--CMP actuator . If you have done no work on the engine then I would be replacing the exhaust cam actuator (CMP actuator)
