I have an 02 Sts...

Problems are now...
when going from stop... it takes a second for it to go into gear... when transferring from reverse to drive it takes a second

The real problem I have it anything above 60 mph ... the car will idle at about 1400 rpm.. but transmission wont engage to 2800 3000 3200 sometimes.. which I feel it putting undue stress on the engine and transmission

I know when I had the 93 it wouldnt shift out of second and it was the computer to blame.. because they are electronic shift... but do you think it could be anything else?

Thanks for your time and consideration

check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes -

if you don't know how - go here and read the ENTIRE post -

http://www.cadillacforums.com/forum...ncluding-1985/138257-how-pull-codes-dtcs.html

if you have any codes - post them here -
ALONG WITH THEIR DEFINITIONS -

--------------
have you checked the trans fluid level?

with the car on flat level ground -
engine running - at full operating temp -
pull the TRANS dipstick -

the fluid level should be in the hash marks -

the fluid should be PINK in color -

and should NOT stink like burned leaves -

 

[jcarama1]

yea I check the fluid and did smell like burnt leaves...
It was a little high so I took some out but it was still high to where it said hot...

I checked the codes before and they are as follows
ddm b3833
ddm b3832
ddm u1255
dim u1255
ipc u1000
ipm u1255
irc u1016 h
rss c0584
rss c0657 h

and now the fun part... yesterday I went outside and it wouldnt move at all!!!

Its been very cold here in nj... I was hoping something was frozen...
I have another transmission but I am not happy with the current situation

 

[vincentm]

Post the definitions as noted above, we cant memorize them all.

 

[jcarama1]

is there a drain valve on the transmission?

I cant seem to find it

----------

ddm? but u1255 means class 2 communcation failure.. which I assume is cause the sunroof was leaking and everything got wet...
U1000 - Class 2 Communication Malfunction
U1255 - Class 2 Communication Malfunction (Serial Data Line Malfunction)
U1016 - Loss of Communications with PCM
B3832 - Window Position Sensor Circuit
u 1000 class 2 communication failure
C1246 - Brake Lining Wear Circuit Open
u 1016 lose of commuication with pcm
C0584 - Right Front Solenoid Circuit Open
C0657 - Level Control Compressor Circuit Low

 

[stoveguyy]

U have a spare trans? Oh, that can't be good. Slow engagement of forward/reverse is never a good thing.

NO -

and none of your codes are trans related -

it doesn't look good - I believe the trans is shot -

 

[jcarama1]

yea, I didnt check the numbers.. BUT i HAVE A 93 97 99 STS as parts car.. pre cars i bought

----------

SO now if the car is not warmed up.. it wont move at all...
Very slow engagement into reverse.. and when i first move it from cold I have to go to like 3000 rpm to get it to move... very weird..

Still have the same problem with it missing rpms..
for instance If i got above 50 Ill need to hit 2800 rpm even if when i come off the gas It drops to 1400.
The fast I go the higher I hvae to rev the engine before the transimission engages.. 70 its like 3200 something like that

I don't know what you are expecting - but the trans is NOT going to heal itself -

be sure to have your cell phone with you at all times -
at least you can call for a ride when it completely quits -

 

[maeng9981]

Same symptoms when my transmission quit working. Sounds too much like it's a new transmission time, unfortunately.

 

[rodnok01]

:yeah:

 

[jcarama1]

Codes that are a problem.
Powercontrol module p1811....maximum adapt and long shift,
P0502...... vehicle speed sensor
P0410 ..... secondary air injection system
