WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1998 Cadillac Seville, 1998 Cadillac Eldorado, and 1998 Cadillac DeVille. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES
article in GENERAL INFORMATION section before disconnecting battery.
NOTE:
Vehicles are designed for starter mounting without shims. A single shim or double shims may have been added to correct a noise or engagement condition. When installing starter, any previously installed shims should be replaced in original location to ensure proper pinion to flywheel clearance.
NOTE:
On 4.6L engines, starters cannot be shimmed. Noise condition, requiring shims, can only be corrected by replacing starter.
