There was no 2001 Cadillac DTS—the DTS nameplate began in 2006 as the DeVille replacement.

⚠️ Chock the wheels first — neutral means the car can roll. Set the parking brake while you work, never stand downhill of the vehicle, and try a 12-volt jump before any override: power fixes most stuck-in-park problems instantly.
The procedure
- This vehicle does not exist. The Cadillac DTS was introduced for the 2006 model year, replacing the DeVille.
- If you meant the 2001 DeVille, refer to that model's procedure.
- If you have a 2006 or later DTS, the procedure differs—request that specific year.
With zero electrical power
N/A—vehicle model does not exist for this year.
