Good Luck its an easy one.
If your check engine or service engine light is on they will run their diagnostic tool on your car for you for free. In hopes you will buy the part you need from them. Auto Zone will also check for you..
Walmart carries an inexpensive brand in their store also.
Most of the newer ones check 1996 models and newer .
About your flashing light problem... I've also had this happen... very rare though. Sometimes, if I accelerate too much, it seems like the car thinks the tires are slipping, and goes into that posi-track type mode. You have to re-start the car to re-set the system... kinda a pain.
Thanks much.
Happy Holidays all!
August purchased the car.... the EBCTM module went on it the moment I picked it up after having it shipped from Florida.
Check engine light comes on and off.
Electric Sun roof sometimes works, sometimes it doesn't want to work.
Went to automatic car was and passenger side foot well filled up with water.
In October once it got cold the shifter does not want to go into drive from park until it warms up.
Steering wheell pump just went, and found out now I need valve covers that they do not make anymore. Need to upgrade to new replacement model.
When I go over bumps, now I hear a clunk in the front end.
I give up..... thought I got a good one with low miles, but this is too much.
The car runs good when you are doing 0-55mph, after that it does not want to go any faster and I do'nt want to push it. a mechanic just told me that it is the solonoid or something and another person told me that I need a new Trans. Can any body help on ideas.
had a 2000 catara that done the exact same thing if you email me tomorrow I'll look up the part I ordered whatever it was worked..so hold on
My neighbor has the exact same problem. I see that the multi relay switch is the way to fix it. However, I will repair it myself and save the $130 labor fee.
He can open the trunk and gas release switch by starting the vehicle, keeping his foot on the brake and putting it in gear. This will allow you to open both, however it will not allow you to operate the radio.
Hope this will help you. Weird way to operate the swiches, but it works.

The shop had my Catera for almost 2 days before calling to tell me that neither they nor the nearby dealership had any idea what was wrong. All diagnostics came up normal and yet the car sputtered, misfired, etc. They had placed a call to Cadillac and were waiting for an answer. 10 minutes of research on the Internet and I turned up several reports of what they were calling "lumpy start-up syndrome"; same symptoms as both you and I experienced, and the MAF sensor was the cause. I called the shop, they changed out my MAF sensor, and two hours later I was driving off in my now smooth-running Catera.

If cleaning the maf sensor will help... the following might help;

Typically, they shouldnt be too expensive, especially if you can buy the part and install it yourself. Good luck.
