The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Condition/Concern:

When diagnosing a Cadillac CTS-V with a concern that the Competitive Driving Mode is not being displayed on the radio, it is important to note the following:

  1. If the concern only occurred after a Navigation Radio replacement, ensure that the Radio Set Up procedure was performed using the Tech 2. When performing the Set Up procedure, it is important to build the vehicle as a product series DN (CTS-V) on the Tech 2.
  2. Any concerns with tire pressure will prevent the vehicle from entering Competitive Driving Mode. Ensure that all tires are properly inflated and there are no DTCs related to the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system.

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
