A/C & HEATER SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 2004 Cadillac XLR AUTOMOBILES
Electric Cooling Fans -> XLR -> Description
Vehicle: 2004 Cadillac XLR 4.6 V8 GAS
The engine cooling fan is a variable speed fan. The Engine Control Module (ECM) controls the fan speed by sending a pulse width modulated signal to the cooling fan control module. The cooling fan control module varies the voltage drop across the engine cooling fan motor in relation to the pulse width modulated signal. Cooling fan speed is effected by many different conditions and can be adjusted from 10-90% duty cycle (PWM), 90% is considered high speed fan. When multiple cooling fan speed requests are received the ECM uses the highest cooling fan speed of all the requests.

MAINTENANCE LAMP RESET PROCEDURES FOR 2004 Cadillac XLR AUTOMOBILES
General Motors Corp./Saturn Cars -> Service Air Cond Lamp -> Cadillac
Vehicle: 2004 Cadillac XLR 4.6 V8 GAS
This lamp should light when the A/C system detects a low refrigerant charge. The lamp should light for approximately two seconds after ignition has been turned on as a bulb inspection.
If while operating vehicle, the lamp lights for approximately 60 seconds and then goes off, the refrigerant level is low enough to cause reduced cooling capacity. At this point the blower motor will increase speed to try to offset the loss in cooling capacity. The lamp will be automatically reset after system has been inspected and refrigerant c...
