Why is the Cadillac not responding when starting?
2 Answers
Reasons why the Cadillac does not respond when starting are as follows: 1. Engine failure: Related to issues such as poor performance of the main injector, cold start injector, temperature control switch, ECU and control circuit, battery depletion, damaged ignition or pulse generator, fuel system not supplying fuel or supplying fuel abnormally, etc. 2. Automatic transmission failure: Symptoms include slow acceleration, strong impact during automatic gear shifting, high oil temperature, lack of high-speed gear, inability to start, and inability to change the gear lever. Most automatic transmission failures are caused by untimely maintenance and adjustments, apart from component failures due to long-term use.
Oh, I've experienced the Cadillac not starting or responding a few times, and found that the main causes usually lie with the battery or starting system. A dead battery is the prime suspect, especially if the vehicle hasn't been driven for a while, allowing the battery to discharge naturally. That's exactly what happened to my car last time—checked the connections for looseness, the dashboard lights still came on, but there was no response when trying to start. This could be due to an aging battery or cold weather accelerating discharge. Quickly try jump-starting it. Starter failure can also cause this; if there's not even a clicking sound, the starter might be broken. Security systems, like a dead key fob battery, can also lock out the ignition. If the Cadillac's key fob chip is dead, the car won't sense it. Additionally, a faulty ignition switch or blown fuse is quite common. It's recommended to first check simple items yourself, such as replacing the key fob battery or charging it. If that doesn't work, take it to a repair shop for professional diagnostics to avoid the danger of breaking down on the road. Cadillac models are more sophisticated, and DIY repairs can easily damage the circuits—safety first.
