Default RE: kam reset

KAM - KEEP ALIVE MEMORY - This code is set when module loses battery voltage, that only should go away when battery is disconnected. Loss of battery voltage can cause concerns as can ignition voltage they both power module. KAM codes can also be set by weak battery or starter with high current draw can can battery voltage to drop low enough to set code. It like when you start your car and lose your clockand radio presets. Presets and clock are stored in KAM

what happens with car: security light on, traction light on, then one or both back off...gas gauge to E.... then back, then to E, and will rest there for a while, then back...gauge cluster will go out, or not come on at start, then when its ready, come on.....when on, at times back lights will brighten, and go back as if i'm adjusting with the ****.... dr back lights off.......then on.......radio amp, not radio, will kick out for a couple seconds, then back.
when i put in park, doors will not unlock, or lock when shift to drive, sometimes.........when shut car off, radio, interior kights, dr locks, windows, will not respond for a while, then will....... i also get on the DIC.... at times,"battery volt high", "engine temp too hot, idle engine","speed limited to 90"......."service stability sys"...... ( no joke, sometimes it will say "speed limited to 92, or 0..)

as far as u codes: on every module....abs,amp,ddm,dim,ipc,ipm,irc,pcm, and so on...... when i ran codes last night,abs,amp,ddm, came up, THEN codes quit. had to run second time.... all modules came up with many u codes in each........(sort of what happen with tech 2)

i justgot, cdrom from autorepairinfo.com......automotive repair manual for 1999 cadillac seville sts

IM HAVING TROUBLE GETTING REAR SEAT BACK OFF TO GET TO "RIM"......... PLZ ADVISE
TOTALLY TOOK APART REAR SEAT FUSE BOX, ALL WAS AS CLEAN AS NEW.........
GROUND 100, AND 103......HAVE NOT GOTTEN TO....?????? TUFF......YOUR THOUGHTS ON THOSE TWO BEING E-GHOSTS PROBLEM?.... I THINK 103 IS A BUZZ, I CANT GET TO IT EASILY, THOUGH IF YOU THINK I SHOULD, I WILL.

TX SLOWROLL
