BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 2006 Cadillac CTS AUTOMOBILES
Disc Brakes -> AC-Delco Single Piston Rear Disc Brake -> Description
Vehicle: 2006 Cadillac CTS V 6.0 V8 GAS
On all models except Century, Grand Prix and Regal,the caliper assembly has a single bore and is mounted to the support bracket with two mounting bolt and sleeve assemblies, Fig. . Hydraulic pressure created by applying the brake pedal is converted by the caliper to a stopping force. This force acts equally against the piston and the bottom of the piston bore to move the piston outward and to slide the caliper inward resulting in a clamping action. This clamping action presses the linings against the rotor, creating friction to stop the vehicle.
On Century, Grand Prix and Regal model...

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM PROCEDURES FOR 2006 Cadillac CTS AUTOMOBILES
Description
Vehicle: 2006 Cadillac CTS V 6.0 V8 GAS
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 DIM (Dash Integrated Module), IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster), DIC, 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, the sensor is inactive. When the vehicle is operated and as the vehic...

MAINTENANCE LAMP RESET PROCEDURES FOR 2006 Cadillac CTS AUTOMOBILES
General Motors Corp./Saturn Cars -> Service Air Cond Lamp -> Cadillac
Vehicle: 2006 Cadillac CTS 3.6 V6 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...
