• Q: How to replace the throttle body assembly on 2010 Cadillac DTS?

  A: To replace the Throttle Body assembly, carefully act when handling the electronic throttle control components so that they do not suffer damages; do not drop or submerge them in any cleaning agents. First, remove the sight shield for fuel injector, remove the air cleaner outlet duct. Remove the pcv fresh air tube quick connect fittings at the camshaft cover and the air cleaner outlet duct, then disconnect the pcv fresh air tube. After that, detach the engine harness electric connector from the throttle actuator, pull off the transaxle vent hose clip, the transaxle shift cable clip from the shift cable bracket, and then take out the Throttle Body bolts. Next, remove the shift cable bracket and the Throttle Body itself, and throw away the Throttle Body seal. For installation, begin with a new Throttle Body seal, locating the Throttle Body in combination with the shift cable bracket, and installing the Throttle Body bolts, tightening to 10 nm (89 lb in). Re-screw the transaxle shift cable clip and the transaxle vent hose clip to the slot on shift cable bracket and remove the dash part of the engine harness electrical connector to connect to the throttle actuator. Leave the pcv fresh air tube routed under the vacuum brake booster hose and the evaporative emission (EVAP) purge valve before installation while connecting the quick connect fittings from the camshaft cover and the air cleaner outlet duct. Lastly, reinstall the air cleaner outlet duct and the fuel injector sight shield, and carry out the throttle learn procedure.
