2014 Cadillac CTS Service and Repair Manual

This 2014 Cadillac CTS factory service and repair manual is matched to this exact model year, engine, and trim, so the specifications, wiring diagrams, and torque sequences it gives are the ones GM published for the powertrain actually under this car's hood — whether that's the turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder (VIN X, LTG) or the supercharged 6.2L V8 (VIN P, LSA) — rather than a generic CTS baseline.

Known issues on the 2014 CTS. Six recalls are on federal record for this model year. Front seat heating mats can degrade over time and overheat when the seat heater is triggered by a remote start in cold weather, raising the risk of fire. The windshield wiper motor can go inoperative after a battery jump-start if the wipers were left on while restricted by ice or snow, cutting driver visibility. An incomplete weld on the front seat hook bracket can let a seat come loose in a high-load condition such as a crash, increasing occupant injury risk. The automatic transmission shift cable can detach, so the indicated gear may not match the actual gear and the car can move unexpectedly or fail to hold Park, risking a rollaway. Weight on the key ring can move the ignition out of the run position, which can keep the air bags from deploying in a crash. And a chassis electronic module can develop an internal short that stalls the vehicle while driving. Owners have filed 146 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From a seat-heater or wiper-motor diagnosis to a shift-cable or chassis-module repair, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2014 CTS.
