Vehicle: 2005 Cadillac XLR 4.6 V8 GAS
2004
The TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitor System) warns the driver when a significant loss, or gain of tire pressure occurs in any of the four tires and allows the driver to display the individual tire pressures and the locations on the DIC (Driver Information Center) display. The system uses the PCM (Powertrain Control Module), BCM (Body Control Module), DIC, IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster), remote control door lock receiver, a radio frequency transmitting pressure sensor in each wheel assembly and the serial data circuit.
When the vehicle is stationary for 20 minutes or longer, the sensor...

MAINTENANCE LAMP RESET PROCEDURES FOR 2005 Cadillac XLR AUTOMOBILES
General Motors Corp./Saturn Cars -> Service Air Cond Lamp -> Cadillac
Vehicle: 2005 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...
