Hi Zach. Thanks for contacting us today. There are a few things you should look into with these symptoms. First and most common is that the clunk sound you hear is coming from a loose driveshaft. This could be due...
Having that many codes that go to one component may want you to quickly condemn the ECM. However, the vehicle should not have the ECM replaced until one or more of the codes retrieved calls for the replacement of the...
There are several different possibilities for a hard-to-turn steering wheel with a knocking noise. These noises could indicate the shocks are worn; suspension bushings, ball joints, or tie rods have failed. I would have a certified mechanic diagnose and fix...
Hello. This can be caused by a number of issues. If the sensor clearance is not correct then this will occur. I would check this first. I would then monitor the sensor signals as that would tell me if the...
The pulsating from the brakes are usually caused by the front rotors which are warped and will vibrate the steering while braking. You should have the brakes inspected and brake rotor run out checked using a dial indicator. You will...

Hi there, thanks for writing in about your 2004 Cadillac DeVille. Hard shifting can be caused by several items. I don't feel like the pickup screens are contributing to your concern. The transmission uses hydraulic pressure to control the shifts....
