What is the method for resetting the Cadillac maintenance reminder?
2 Answers
Here is the method to reset the Cadillac maintenance reminder light: 1. Press the ignition switch to start the engine. 2. Observe the dashboard for the maintenance prompt. 3. Press the SET button on the multifunction steering wheel. Then press the SEL button on the right side of the multifunction steering wheel. Finally, press the cancel button on the multifunction steering wheel to complete the reset. Here are some related details: 1. When the Cadillac maintenance light comes on, it reminds you to take the car for maintenance. When you take it to a 4S shop for maintenance, the technicians there will reset the maintenance light for you using a diagnostic tool after the service. Of course, if you perform the maintenance yourself, you will need to manually reset the reminder. 2. If you do not reset the maintenance light, the next maintenance mileage and time will become confusing, making it easy to miss the optimal maintenance period. Delaying maintenance can lead to many hidden dangers, as some minor issues in the car may not be easily visible to the naked eye. Over time, these can accumulate and lead to car malfunctions. In summary, it is essential to reset the maintenance reminder after servicing.
Hey, I think resetting the Cadillac maintenance reminder light is super easy. I own a CT5 myself, and here's how I do it after every service: First, park the car and turn off the ignition, then turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine—just make sure the dashboard lights up. Use the small buttons on the right side of the steering wheel, press the left or right arrows to navigate to the Oil Life menu on the dashboard, which usually shows the engine oil life percentage. Hold down the center OK button for about 5 to 10 seconds until the screen displays "Reset Complete" or shows 100%, indicating success. This method works for most mainstream Cadillac models post-2015, like the XT6 or Escalade. Once reset, the reminder light won't keep flashing annoyingly—it calculates the next service based on driving habits, and timely maintenance helps extend engine life. Don’t forget to start the car afterward to confirm the light is off, saving you a trip back to the dealership for no reason.
