The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

This 2009 Cadillac CTS factory service and repair manual is built for this specific model year, engine and trim combination, so the torque values, wiring routes and diagnostic steps inside match what Cadillac published for your car, whether it left the factory with the 3.6L V6 (LY7), the 3.6L V6 (LLT) or the supercharged 6.2L V8 (LSA).

Engines covered

  • 6.2L V8 (376 cu in) — OHV, supercharged, gasoline
  • 3.6L V6 (217 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan

Trims covered

  • Base
  • Luxury
  • Premium
  • V

Known issues on the 2009 CTS. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the ignition key: if the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. The second covers the rear suspension toe link jam nuts, which carry a wax coating that can let the nuts loosen; if a nut loosens enough, the toe link can separate and the rear wheel can turn inboard or outboard, producing a sudden change in handling. The third covers a software fault in the passenger sensing system that can enable or disable the front passenger air bag incorrectly, raising injury risk in a crash. The fourth covers the heated washer fluid module, which can ignite. The fifth, on all-wheel-drive and CTS-V cars, covers non-compliance with the front passenger crash-protection standard, raising the risk of leg injury in a crash. Owners have filed 167 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From a rear toe link inspection to chasing a passenger air bag fault, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2009 CTS.
