Is Your 2006 Cadillac DTS Giving You Headaches?
If you’re dealing with baffling issues like your 2006 Cadillac DTS suddenly stalling, refusing to start, or throwing a cascade of warning lights on the dash, you’re likely staring down a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen this exact scenario countless times. The ECM is the brain of your vehicle’s engine, and when it starts to falter, the symptoms can be unpredictable and frustrating.
The Telltale Signs of a Failing DTS ECM
A faulty ECM doesn’t always fail completely at once. It often starts with intermittent problems that can mislead even seasoned mechanics. Based on hundreds of diagnostics I’ve performed on this GM platform, here are the classic symptoms to watch for:
- โ No-start or hard-starting conditions, especially when the engine is warm.
- โ Engine stalling unexpectedly while driving or at idle.
- โ A significant drop in fuel economy for no apparent reason.
- โ Check Engine Light is on with communication codes (U-codes) or multiple, unrelated sensor codes.
- โ Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting.
- โ The cooling fans run constantly, even when the engine is cold.
Expert Pro Tip from a 20-Year Veteran
Before you condemn your ECM, always perform a voltage drop test on the main power and ground circuits to the module. I’ve seen more than a few cases where a corroded ground wire on the engine block or frame rail mimicked a dead ECM. A simple check with a multimeter can save you from replacing a perfectly good part. However, if the power and grounds are solid, the ECM itself is the next logical point of failure, especially due to heat and vibration over time.
