How to Reset the Change
Transmission Fluid Message and
the Transmission Fluid Indicator
(Automatic Transmission)
After the transmission fluid has been changed, the
Change Trans Fluid message and the transmission
fluid life indicator must be reset. To reset the message
and indicator, use one of the following procedures:
Base Audio System
Press the CLR button located to the right of the DIC
display to acknowledge the CHANGE TRANS FLUID
message. This will clear the message from the display
and reset it.
To reset the transmission fluid life indicator, use the
following steps:
1. Press the up or down arrow on the INFO button
located to the right of the DIC display to access
the DIC menu.
2. Once the XXX% TRANS FLUID LIFE menu item
is highlighted, press and hold the CLR button.
The percentage will return to 100, and the
transmission fluid life indicator will be reset.
3. Repeat the steps if the percentage does not
return to 100.
Navigation System
If your vehicle has a navigation system, see your
navigation system supplement for instructions on how
to acknowledge the Change Trans Fluid message
and reset the transmission fluid life indicator.
Manual Transmission Fluid
When to Check
It is not necessary to check the manual transmission
fluid level. A transmission fluid leak is the only reason
for fluid loss. If a leak occurs, take the vehicle to
your Cadillac dealership service department and have it
repaired as soon as possible. The fluid level may be
checked when the engine oil is changed, though it is not
necessary to regularly check the fluid level.
How to Check
Because this operation can be difficult, you may choose
to have this done at your Cadillac dealership service
department.
If you do it yourself, be sure to follow all the instructions
here, or you could get a false reading.
