What are the reasons for no response when starting a Cadillac SRX?
2 Answers
Reasons for no response when starting a Cadillac SRX are as follows: Battery issues: For example, the battery has reached the end of its lifespan, loose battery terminals, poor contact, or oxidized terminals. Starter fuse blown. Dashboard damage: If all indicator lights on the dashboard are off and the engine shuts off immediately after starting, it is likely due to a damaged dashboard CPU. Here is an introduction to the Cadillac SRX: Introduction: The Cadillac SRX luxury multi-purpose vehicle made its debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in 2003. This new model in the Cadillac series is a luxury mid-size multi-purpose vehicle that can adapt to almost any road condition, with a towing capacity of up to 1590 kg, and offers a driving experience akin to a sports sedan. Model origin: The Cadillac SRX is a full-time four-wheel-drive luxury SUV. Its bold and innovative exterior design has had a disruptive impact on the homogenized styling of SUV models. The extremely bold lines and tall, imposing appearance make the SRX stand out distinctly among many softly contoured models.
My Cadillac SRX had the same issue that day, and it took me quite a while to figure it out. The most likely culprit is a weak battery, especially in cold winter temperatures. Use a multimeter to check the voltage—if it's below 11 volts, that's probably the problem. If turning the key doesn't even light up the dashboard, there's a 90% chance the battery is completely dead. Also, check the anti-theft system. Last time, my key fob battery died, and the anti-theft lock cut off fuel and power to the engine. Try the spare key or press the key against the start button for an emergency start. Another thing to check is the gear shift—sometimes the column shifter doesn't engage properly, preventing startup. Try pushing and pulling the shifter a few times. Oh, and listen carefully for the fuel pump's humming sound when starting. If there's no sound, the fuel pump might be out or the relay could be faulty.
