flash to pass by l71934m2

I have an early 2007 escalade and had to recently get new key fobs. When they were re-programmed the flash to pass would not work during the day when the headlight switch was set to off or auto. Cadillac says that the new ones are like this and that is the way it should have been. I know of no other cars that operate like this

This was necessary because of the nature of HID headlights. Rather than use a halogen high-beam, the system retracts a shutter over the lens of the low beam pattern.
 
Since HID's take a few seconds to ignite and come to full brightness, it isn't feasible. Secondly, repeated ignition shortens the bulb's life quickly. You don't want to be changing these bulbs out much.. $$$.
 
I believe that BMW solved this problem by keeping the HID's lit all the time (angel eyes), and the flash-to-pass feature is simply the shutter opening and closing.

Thanks for your message. The flash to pass worked fine with the switch in the auto position during the day for the first year we had the vehicle. It only changed after they reprogrammed the new key fobs. It also worked properly on the 2003 and 2004 Escalade with bi xenon lights.

Hey I have a 2000 cadillac escalade and it does the same thing. Did you happen to fix yours already. I hit the gas and it doesn't move i even changed the catalytic converters thinking it was clogged. Can anyone help me?

My wife drives a 2002 5.3L 2WD Escalade and mine is a 2005 6.0L AWD Escalade ESV Platinum. Both vehicles have been great but they have a common cosmetic problem. All four headlight assemblies have a hazy buildup inside the lenses. Anyone have a "cleaning" method?

We are thinking about buying FULLY loaded (22" Chrome) 2008 ESV for $63K with an MSRP at $71,000 in Houston area. Is that a better price? Would greatly appreciate if anyone can share their experience of ESV for 2007 and/or 2008 model(s).
Thanks.

I am having the same problems you had, service stability light/traction control light staying on. Dealer states they can't diagnose because of the accessories i.e. tv/auto start, although I have had them installed since 2003 w/no problems! Can you tell me what you did to fix your problem, don't want to have to pull everything out for them to figure it out ?....thanks!

2000 Escalade Brake Light by billsenick
Nov 12, 2007 (2:45 pm)

I am setting my 2000 Escalade to tow behind my RV and I am having a problem with the aftermarket brake controller (Roadmaster EvenBrake) the transmitter has to be connected to the cold side of the brake light switch which in the Escalade is almost impossible to access, I was wondering if anyone new which wires under the dash come from that switch that activates the brake lights or another way other than running a wire from the rear bulb to the drivers area. Thank you for any help you may render
