Re: Looking to purchase 2004 to 2007 SRX

I had a real hard time finding a nicely appointed '07 here in the Phoenix, AZ area. Finally did locate one, and got the deal done last Saturday. Black V6 RWD with all the toys, including nav., ultraview sunroof, etc. The only useless options for me are the third row seat and the rear seat theatre package. However, the third row seat does fold flush with the floor, and this seating option includes ceiling A/C vents in the rear cargo area, so the dog should like that.

I got 10 miles from the dealership and already had a "Service Tire Monitor System" message on the DIC, so there's no doubt I bought another Cadillac! The tire pressures are all within normal range, but the l.f. shows a "-" instead of a psi reading on the display. I went to reprogram the monitors per the instructions in the owner's manual, but after the car sat for half an hour, all the pressure readings were okay again, and the fault message was gone. Likely a dying tire pressure monitor, as I replaced 3 of them in my DTS. I'm sure this is a non-warranty item, but it will be interesting to see if the dealer handles this at no charge since I only owned the car for 15 minutes.

Does anyone know if it's possible to "pull codes" on these cars like in the earlier devilles by pressing a combination of dash buttons, or do you need a scanner to get this information on the newer Caddys?

Thanks to everyone who helped me with my decision. I'm looking forward to many years of enjoyment with this SRX.
