Yep, found one - annd also confirm I made a mistake by leaving the ctek on my battery, it’s advised not to have a charger on the battery while using the tech2. I’m making every rookie mistake haha. I swear I’ve been working on cars for a long time, this is just a whole different beast than...

Now I’m getting somewhere. Helps if I’m in “key on engine off” I was in “accessory mode” before. Got a C0710 - 52 and a C0161 - 11. Looking at the diag table for the 0161, looks like I’m troubleshooting the brake pedal position sensor.

Thanks! The little booklet (or at least the only instructions I can find online since mine didn't ship with a paper manual) confirms not to use power jack when DLC is connected. Whoops. Repeated test with Tech2 > 26 pin to 19 pin cable > Candi module > 19 pin to OBD2 adapter and car in...

Well, that’s curious. Got the tech2, connected via the 26 pin connector on the bottom, via the Candi interface block, to the little adapter from the 19 pin round connector to the OBD2 connector. Tech2 plugged into wall outlet. Car in accessory mode, I can scan for DTCs in most of the options...

Yeah, maybe not the best choice of phrase, it was just unintentionally limited volume haha. Cool vehicle!

No XLR experience on those tires, friend runs these on a EcoBoost mustang, has nothing but good things to say about them.

Might as well sticker shock myself now - Mickey if I am in for an ABS module, what’s the availability like on those? A brief search from my end shows discontinued/unavailable from the usual GM vendors, but I think I see in your other posts you’ve got leads on the hard to find stuff. At least...

Was the CT6-V the one with a super bespoke Blackwing engine?

I have factory shop manuals, yes. Thank you for the suggestion!

Followup. Shims are removed and will stay removed. Current plan is to see what the Tech2 finds when it shows up; and if nothing else I'll at least do the ABS bleed since I couldn't do that before, on the chance that some of the contaminated fluid is gumming something up in there. General...

13 ATS with three pedals is my other Caddy. Like it a lot but miss having a drop top which is why I picked up the X.

Awesome, thank you both! Edit - found one, seller including card for me, ordered immediately. Once again thanks everyone for their input!

Thanks mate - do you mind at least sharing what unit you’ve got? Appreciate any information you have.

Anybody have experience with this unit, using the GM pcmcia card? US$213.00 - GM Tech2 Tech 2 Scanner with CANdi TIS Works for GM/SAAB/OPEL/SUZUKI/ ISUZU/ Holden

If someone in the southeast Michigan area has a tech2, I’m in. Would love to get it scanned and see. Sounds to me like both of you are in the “could be an abs module” camp. Appreciate if there’s anyone who can help with the diag. Or if someone could offer me guidance on what to purchase: I...

What do you two believe a professional shop is going to do that we can't? Can one of you suggest what part may have failed? Replace a brake booster with a used one since they're discontinued? Replace the master cylinder? I can do either of those things but I'm asking for some help on the...

I don’t have a thermo gave but all four wheels get too hot to touch after a half dozen 20-0 stops and about one mile of driving around neighborhood. You are correct, flushing out the contaminated fluid did not fix either. And can confirm when driving as soon as i let off the gas the car...

Exactly. I changed the fronts last night and I didn’t encounter any sticking hardware, siezed pins or bolts, etc; so unless the fluid is contaminated enough to do this I’m wondering if I need to suspect a failing brake booster or master cylinder.

New to me 06 XLR-V just arrived. From what I can tell of this car, it’s been sitting in various dealer lots and auctions for the past 9 months, and previous owners were snowbirds who left it parked for part of the year, so I’m expecting gremlins from it sitting. When I drive it farther than a...
