Sensors
The solar sensor, located in
the defrost grille in the middle
of the instrument panel,
monitors the solar heat. Do
not cover the solar sensor or
the system will not work
properly.
There is also an exterior
temperature sensor behind
the front grille. This sensor
reads the outside air
temperature and helpsmaintain the temperature
inside the vehicle. Any cover
on the front of the vehicle,
could cause a false reading in
the displayed temperature.
The climate control system
uses the information from
these sensors to maintain
comfort settings by adjusting
the outlet temperature, fan
speed, and air delivery mode.
The system may also supply
cooler air to the side of the
vehicle facing the sun. The
recirculation mode will also be
used as needed to maintain
cool outlet temperatures.
Afterblow Feature
If equipped, under certain
conditions, the fan may stay
on or may turn on and off
several times after you turn
off and lock the vehicle. This is
normal.
Air Vents
Adjustable air vents are in the
center and on the sides of the
instrument panel, and on the
rear of the center console
storage.
Move the slider knobs to
change the direction of or to
close off the airflow.

2. Front Brake Cooling Duct
Brake Pad Wear Sensors
If equipped, the brake pad
wear sensors need to be
removed from the brake
calipers prior to any track or
racing event. The original
sensors can be reinstalled if
significant brake pad wear is
not observed. Refer to Brake
Pad Life System (If Equipped)
0 396. If the sensors are not
reinstalled after the track
event, install brake pad wear
sensor plugs. See your dealer.
The V-Series Blackwing is
equipped with brake pad wear
sensors which are track
capable and should not be
disabled for track and racing.
A message will display in the
Driver Information Center
(DIC) when the brake pads
show excessive wear.
Brake Fluid
Replace existing brake fluid
with a qualified DOT 4 high
performance brake fluid from a sealed container. Brake fluid
with a dry boiling point >310 °C
(590 °F) is qualified. If high
performance brake fluid is
used, replace it with GM
approved brake fluid before
driving on public roads. If high
performance brake fluid is in
the vehicle and the age of the
brake fluid is over a month old
or unknown, replace the brake
fluid before track events and
competitive driving. Do not use
silicone or DOT 5 brake fluids.
Disconnect the battery before
bleeding the system, replacing
the pads, or any other work.
The battery must be
disconnected to prevent the
brake master cylinder from
pressurizing the hydraulic
system during its automated
self diagnostic tests that may
occur when a door is opened
or the remote key is present.
Check the fluid level before
each competitive driving
event.
Brake System Flushing &
Bleeding
The J55 brake system
requires specific processes
for bleeding and fluid flushing.
These can be found in the
service manual.
Properly bleeding the brake
system is required for proper
operation of the hydraulic
brake system.
Brake Leak Detection
The hydraulic braking system
has advanced diagnostic
capability to help detect
hydraulic leaks, trapped air,
and other performance issues.
These diagnostics are active
when the hydraulic system is
powered. In order to avoid
inadvertently setting a leak
Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC), disconnect the battery
before servicing the brake
system.
If the vehicle sets a DTC
related to a brake system leak,
the Brake System Warning

Cadillac CT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-16500442) -
2023 - CRC - 5/10/22
Driving and Operating 243
Light will come on and vehicle
speed may be limited to
100 kph (62 mph). Any time a
leak DTC is set, the vehicle
should be inspected carefully
for evidence of a leak and
should be repaired
immediately. See your dealer.
Brake Fade Warning Assist
The Brake Fade Warning
Assist system monitors the
performance of the brake
system. If the system detects
brake fade, or if the brake fluid
is near the boiling point, the
driver will be alerted.
The Brake Fade Warning
Assist system is designed for
use with the factory-installed
brake pads or GM approved
replacement pads. If the brake
pads on the vehicle need to be
replaced, use GM approved
brake pads. If this is not done,
the brake fade warning
system may not function
properly.Stage 1 :
The DIC displays a
“Reduce Braking to Avoid
Overheating” message, a
chime sounds and brake pedal
effort and travel is increased.
When the message displays,
the driver should back up
braking points and reduce
brake usage in order to reduce
brake temperature. This will
allow for continued lapping
with no speed limitations.
Stage 2 : The DIC displays a
Brakes Overheated Service
Now message, a chime
sounds, and brake pedal effort
and travel is further increased.
This code indicates that the
brake fluid temperature is
excessive and is about to boil.
The system limits vehicle
speed to 100 km/h (62 mph).
The driver should immediately
start a cool down lap if on the
track. If this message displays,
the vehicle needs to be
serviced. The brake system
needs to cool down, and
the brake fluid must be
immediately flushed with DOT 4 for street use, or to a
qualified DOT 4 race fluid for
track use. Boiled brake fluid is
compromised and must be
replaced.
Brake Burnishing
For vehicles equipped with
front Brembo brake systems:
Performance/racing brake
pads are required prior to
racing or closed track driving.
Vehicles with option code JE2
have performance brake pads.
This procedure should not be
performed on other models as
damage may result.
New brake pads must be
burnished before racing or
other competitive driving.
Caution
Performing the brake
burnish procedure on a base
brake system can result in
brake damage.
