What does it mean when the service ride control light and service needed soon mean? I have a 1994caddyeldorado?

This is a 1994 cadillac Eldorado's, and I took it to auto zone and they said they don't put the code machine on anything younger than 1996. Thank You!What does it mean when the service ride control light and service needed soon mean? I have a 1994caddyeldorado?
The service ride control means there is a problem with the air suspension system. There is an air pump, a height sensor and adjustable struts.


The service needed soon is a maintenance reminder.


Get under the vehicle and check for broken/rubbed through air lines.


On a vehicle that old the air pump could also be bad.What does it mean when the service ride control light and service needed soon mean? I have a 1994caddyeldorado?
On an Eldorado you might have the hydraulic ride system that controls all four struts. The struts are as high as $600 a piece and there's typically no aftermarket on this particular item so you have to buy from the dealership.





If you just have the rear air shocks on it then there is aftermarket shocks that will fit it and less then $100 a pair with new thin plastic air line included.





There's a ride sensor under the right rear side of the car that can be adjusted to make the car ride lower or higher and I imagine this sensor can be damaged or wear out. This send the signal to the small air compressor located near the master cylinder/brake booster under the hood. This little compressor can wear out.





I'd look at all four struts very carefully to figure out of you have the four wheel hydraulic ride system or just the rear wheel pneumatic (air ride) shocks. If you see any kind of thin tube going into the front struts then you have the hydraulic system. Always look for leaks as this can affect both air and hydraulic ride systems and is cheaper to repair than replacing unnecessay parts.





You don't have to have an automatic air ride system. I put one on a Buick years ago and had the valve stem put under the bumper or license plate area and used any air-compressor to pump it up if I had a heavy load in the trunk and let the air out if riding light. I think Gabriel makes the air shocks that fit many different cars including Cadillac. Check JC Whitney online or AutoZone or Advance Auto or O'Reilly's Auto or PepBoys.





Good Luck!

  • Im taking birth control but may be pregnant? if i take a test will the birth control allow it to be accurate?

    that's pretty much what i wanna know. i had unprotected sex july 4th, i had skipped a couple pills around that time. im still taking birth control and may be pregnant. and my period is due in about 2 weeksIm taking birth control but may be pregnant? if i take a test will the birth control allow it to be accurate?
    yea it will detect if you are pregnant. if u skipped a couple of pills u should be okay. i think u cant skip more than like 4.Im taking birth control but may be pregnant? if i take a test will the birth control allow it to be accurate?
    Birth control will not affect the results at all. It is a bit early to test, though, if your period isn't even due for two more weeks.

    If you have OCD (specifically with intrusive thoughts), how do keep your anxiety that it causes under control?

    I was just wondering if any of you have ways of coping, such as exercising, reading, or whatever helps you the most?If you have OCD (specifically with intrusive thoughts), how do keep your anxiety that it causes under control?
    take your med, go for a run, do something fun w/ people


    your comfy around, study for a test, just distract yourselfIf you have OCD (specifically with intrusive thoughts), how do keep your anxiety that it causes under control?
    I tackle 1 OCD symptom at a time. Understand that it'll take about 90 consecutive days to break an OCD habit.





    So patience is a huge discipline to master first. You need to be patient with your compulsions or else you'll just feel frustrated and give up on resolving them.





    Here's a great article on how to naturally overcome OCD:

    I tell myself it's not me having these thoughts, but a glitch in my brain that is making me feel this way.

    If i start taking birth control today when is it okay to start having sex?

    and the pill be in affect.


    a week 2 weeks?????If i start taking birth control today when is it okay to start having sex?
    Read the instructions that are included with the Pill.Usually you need to start taking the birth control on the first day of your next period and you are protected from pregnancy straight away.Good luck and if you are still unsure consult a doctor!





    Pinkrocks this is not a moral question,she needs practical help not your judgement!If i start taking birth control today when is it okay to start having sex?
    Ask your doctor.
    after you're married
    It takes a month to be fully effective.
    You realize by only using birth control pills you are only protecting yourself from having a child, right? There are MANY other reasons to use a condom. Sexually transmitted diseases are ALL OVER the place...very easy to contract...and once you get one, you may never be able to get rid of it, or it may affect your fertility down the road, mental well-being, etc. Use a condom (along with the pill).......
    it depends on the kind. i was on one kind of pill and it took two weeks before it took effect... but the second one i took after that didn't take effect until two weeks later. the doctor you get it from should be able to tell you, but it really depends on what kind it is.

    I have IBS and bloat most of the time, i cant really control it.?

    My bloating occurs everytime i eat a substantial meal or drink anything. i eat healthily, take peppermints tablets and try to drink water as much as pos, but nothing seems to help. Im going on holiday soon and i dun want a bloated belly on the beach! any ideas what can help? stop me from bloating?I have IBS and bloat most of the time, i cant really control it.?
    You may want to get tested for food allergies/intolerances. Lactose intolerance and gluten intolerance can cause bloating and also mimic the symptoms of IBS. A lot of people are diagnosed with IBS, and then later find out that they have an intolerance.I have IBS and bloat most of the time, i cant really control it.?
    ugh! so do I! Infact, I just had lunch about an hour ago and I still feel like crap. I like to take Diurex sometimes if its really bad. it releases water retention. You will pee a lot though. And I don't know if this is just me, but the ONLY thing I can eat that doesn't make me feel bloated and yucky afterward is Sushi.

    When taking birth control Jaz, how long does it take to be fully effective?

    What's your position on gun control??? Does it only deter law abiding citizens and the undetermined???

    Gun control does nothing to stop the bad guys. It only prevents law abiding citizens a means to protect themselves. This has been proven by study after study. It is a myth that gun control reduces crime.What's your position on gun control??? Does it only deter law abiding citizens and the undetermined???
    Gun control helps one group of people...CRIMINALS. And for those who asked if we really need ';High-powered Assault Rifles to hunt with'; please define what that is in your own words. How many assault weapons are used in crimes....1% aaccording to the ATF.

    Okay, I am for gun registration. That way we can trace firearms by serial number and hopefully prevent felons from purchasing them. What I see is that there are more than enough gun control laws on the books right now. What I also see is that those same gun control laws are not being enforced, or prosecuted, which makes them meaningless.





    I am for concealed carry laws. I believe in the second amendment. The reason that amendment was put into place was to ensure that Americans would have a way to protect themselves from an unjust and controlling government. As of today only one government has successfully removed guns from the hands of it's citizens, Nazi Germany. Hitler made the comment that for the first time in history a government had achieved complete gun control. This is a verifiable fact. It was made during one of his earlier speeches while he was still gaining power through popularity before he became an evil dictator.
    A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
    If more law abiding citizens were allowed to walk around with guns, i think there would be less crime.
    I think some gun control is required. Do you really need a high powered assault rifle to hunt? But if there are more guns in the hands of the mentally balanced there would be less crime.
    Gun control prevents the honest citizen from a means of protecting himself.


    The criminal doesn't care what laws are passed - he has chosen not to follow them.

    Rich C : It's not about hunting.
    Ink on paper doesn't stop the violence.





    More laws only make it more diffcult for the law abiding citizens.





    Lets be serious Chicago has some of the toughest laws on the books yet kids are still be shot. What makes anyone think more ink on paper will stop it.





    When preachers demand more gun laws should rather be talking to the kids on how to deal with their hate.





    My solution to gun violence is to eliminate the violence and the causes of violence.





    Parents shouldn't have babies and dump them on the streets thinking it is up to society to discipline their children.





    Parents should take responiblity for thier kids and the actions of kids where they live.





    In the neighborhood I grew up in all the parents were parents not the kids buddy or defending their kid action as in Johnny never does anything wrong.





    Holding kids accountable would go farther than letting the little demons run loose and protest some gun store owner.





    The monster that shot up NIU do you think if we put another law of the books he would have say ';OOOH a law I better stop!';





    I say enforcement is the key word.





    As long as their is a demand for killing someone will provide the means.





    The same as for drugs.
    Policemen, military and hunters are legitimate.





    Why would any citizen need hollow point bullets? You gotta do something to take the streets back but it may be too late. You can get a gun in any city easily.





    My friend worked at a carwash and someone left one on the vacum, pretty scary. The cops were amazed he turned it in, but what the heck who knows what crime it was involved in.





    Had hollow point bullets....small pistol we are close to the SF bay area where there are LOTS of random crime.





    So YES!! GET THE GUNS OUT OF THE GHETTOS
