Question: 1999 Cadillac Escalade V8 Four Wheel
Drive Automatic 120000 miles. Ticks only when cold starting dose it need valve
repair?
Answer: Where
are you getting your oil changed at? some oil filters are junk and don't have a
ck valve in them to hold in the oil. that brief moment may cause your tic,
otherwise it may be a lifter bleeding down, you can try heaver oil, like 10w 40
or 20w 50, or add some oil additives, like stp oil treatment, or lucas. If this
doesnt help get it looked at.
Question: 2000 Cadillac
Escalade V8
Four Wheel Drive
Manual 87000 miles One morning I started
the car & it ran rough & I got a service engine light. I replaced the plugs,
wires, cap & rotor. It runs a little better but I still get this code PO301. I
can't get it inspected until I get this code to go away. I have a 5.7 L with
throttle body injection so it can't be the injector or the one coil. I unplugged
the EGR valve & got a low input voltage reading. I unplug the sensor before the
MAF sensor & nothing happens. Is this the problem ? I can't afford to take it to
the Caddie dealer. Please help.
Answer: I would say
its your coil pack for #1 cylinder, exchange with another 1 from another
cylinder and see if misfire changes to that cylinder, if it doesn't then go for
the Injector.
Question: 1999 Cadillac Escalade 6 cyl All Wheel
Drive Automatic 40,000 miles I drive this truck every 7-10 days as a second car.
From Oct-April, the battery goes dead in cold weather. As soon as AAA attaches
their booster, the truck immediately starts. I purchased a new battery and after
6 months experincing same issues. How long can the average car sit before the
battery goes dead? The Cadillac Dealer told me they couldn't find anything.
Should I invest in a battery booster? Thanks
Answer: If you let it sit
more than a week, your battery will be dead, do you have onstar still? there is
a campaign on you truck I believe for it, if onstar is not used, ck with dealer
(caddy dealer) with your vin #'s to see if it has been done, or buy a battery
disconnect, auto parts places have them
Question: 2004 Cadillac Escalade V8
Four Wheel Drive
Automatic 30000 miles. My speed odometer just stop working-could you please give
some suggestions-thank you PeterAnswer:

dealer.
Question: 2002 Cadillac Escalade V8 All Wheel
Drive Automatic 91,000 miles. My Escalade EXT keeps giving me a "Service
Stability System" message on the message screen on the dashboard. I had the same
problem last year, and the dealer found trouble codes C0205.207 stored in the
system. They checked the reading from the "Steering Wheel Position" and found an
internal malfunction in the "Steering Wheel Position Sensor."
QUESTION: What's going on? Is it likely that the same sensor has failed...after
just one year and 3,000 miles? Do you know of any systemic problems with this
model of the Escalade...and can you point me in the right direction...other than
back to the dealer? If I purchased one of the better OBDII readers...will it
really help me solve the problem?
Answer: Did your new reader find any codes? Not
likely that it is the same problem, but the PCM sees something it doesnt like
and if your scanner wont read the code/codes, you will need to find a shop that
can.
Question: 2002 Cadillac Escalade EXT
Is there any way to manually override the air suspension on this truck? The
truck is sagging and the compressor isn't automatically lifting it ?
Answer: Check to see if the arm\link
from control arm to frame is ok. This is what the computer uses to set ride
height.
Question: I have an 02 Escalade that pulled up
DTC C0286. The repair tech said that I should replace the EBCM. Where is it
located on the vehicle? How do I reset the light once replaced? Are there any
other solutions without replacing the EBCM?
Answer: That code refers to a specified amount
of leak down in the pressure of the ABS. If the proper diagnostics were
followed, and the results point to a bad EBCM then go for it. The EBCM is
located on the inner frame rail, left side. Usually a scanner is req'd to clear
ABS codes
Question: Cadillac Escalade AWD 2002, 91K,
6.0L Yesterday my message center said "Service stability system." I left the car
at my local repair garage and received the ECM diagnosis code C0286. When I
looked up the code it says "C0286 - ABS indicator lamp Circuit Shorted to B+".
Can you tell me what needs to be replaced if anything. My repair garage says it
needs $1,100.00 to repair. I need a second opinion. Thanks for your help.
Answer: Actually the code is mpa switch remins open or closed , the ebcm (electronic brake control module) may have to be replacedas it is
internal and the price is in the right range , good luck your shop sounds
good
