Cadillac CT6
The full-size saloon on GM's Omega platform, and the most structurally unusual Cadillac of its era: a mixed-material body of aluminium and steel joined by laser welding, rivets and adhesive, which puts accident repair outside ordinary panel work. It also carried Super Cruise and a rear-wheel-steering system, both with their own control units and sensor sets. The 4.2 twin-turbo Blackwing V8 is a low-volume engine whose parts and documentation are correspondingly scarce.

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
