Common Problems, Issues, Recalls, and Reliability

  • Check Engine Light Due to Gas Cap Issue

    Illumination of the check engine light may be the result of a loose or worn gas cap .

  • Front and Rear Light Bulbs may Fail

    The front and rear light bulbs are prone to premature failure. Our technicians tell us that the front bulbs can be very difficult to replace.

  • Reduced Power and Check Engine Light

    The throttle position sensor (TPS) on the Cadillac CTS-V is notorious for failure which causes:

    • Check engine light
    • Reduced Power message
    • OBD trouble code P2135

    This issue is related to the throttle position sensor, and can be caused by faulty wiring to the TPS, bad connection at the TPS, or a failed TPS.

    To correct this issue, the wiring harness, connector, and throttle position sensor must be inspected, tested, and/or replaced. The most common cause is a faulty TPS.
