Possible causes – Shorted or open circuit within Transmission Control Module (TCM)– Faulty Transmission Control Module (TCM) Tech description Since the P0700 is just and informative code, check the TCM for more codes to resolve the problem. Symptoms – Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)– Driveability problems– Transmission shifting problems P0700 CADILLAC…

Possible causes – Three way catalyst converter Bank 1– Exhaust tube– Intake air leaks– Fuel injectors may be faulty– Fuel injector leaks– Spark plugs may be faulty– Improper ignition timing– Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Tech description As the code description implies the P0420 code means that the vehicle’s control module has detected that the three-way…

Possible causes – Three way catalyst converter Bank 2– Exhaust tube– Intake air leaks– Fuel injectors may be faulty– Fuel injector leaks– Spark plugs may be faulty– Improper ignition timing– Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Tech description As the code description implies the P0430 code means that the vehicle’s control module has detected that the three-way…

Possible causes – Missing or loose fuel cap– Incorrect fuel filler cap used– Fuel filler cap remains open or fails to close– Foreign matter caught in fuel filler cap– EVAP canister or fuel tank leaks– EVAP system hose leaking– Fuel tank leaking– Faulty vent solenoid– Faulty EVAP purge switch Tech description The P0440 code means…

Possible causes – Plugged vapor canister– Faulty vent solenoid– Pinched or blocked EVAP hose– Faulty FTP sensor Tech description Dirt and dust intrusion into the EVAP canister vent hose assembly, resulting in restricted air flow, may cause this condition. When is the obd code mean? The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) sets the P0446 code if…

Possible causes – Poor connection at the Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) module– Faulty TAC module– Faulty Throttle Pedal Position (TPP) or Throttle Position (TPS) sensors– Binding or bent throttle plate-failed throttle body When is the obd code mean? The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has detected a throttle plate out of position based on commanded and…

Possible causes – Powertrain Control Module (PCM) not programed– PCM program– Faulty PCM– Wrong PCM Symptoms – Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light) P0602 CADILLAC OBD Code Description This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) indicates that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) internal EEPROM is not flashed with any vehicle software. If you install…

Possible causes – Repair other codes first Tech description If the P1380 code is set with other codes, repair other codes first and then clear the code. When is the obd code mean? If the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) detects a condition which will not allow the EBCM to properly identify rough road situations…

Possible causes – Low transmission fluid level– Dirty transmission fluid– Faulty torque converter clutch solenoid valve– Torque converter clutch solenoid valve harness or connectors– Torque converter clutch solenoid valve circuit is open or shorted– Transmission internal mechanical problem When is the obd code mean? Lock-up does not occur when driving in lock-up range or lockup…

Possible causes – Low transmission fluid level– Transmission cooling system concerns When is the obd code mean? When the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects a high transmission fluid temperature (TFT) for a long period of time, then code P0218 will set. Symptoms – Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light) P0218 CADILLAC OBD…
