Took my cadi to an auto body shop to have a brake rotor turned and brake pads replaced.After everything they did to it, turning the rotor and replacing the brake pads, right after the ABs warning light came on and the traction control light came on. Not only that, the air ride suspension system in the rear wont work. I can feel every bump in the road. I can hear the compressor going trying to lift the car up. Think they disengaged something.

Possibly they didn't disable the air ride system before lifting it?As far as the rest you would have to have the codes read with a advanced scan tool.Have you called the place where you had it repaired to complain?Ir better yet take it back to have them fix it?

Cadillac doesn't have a shut off switch, only Ford. You're just going to have to get the codes read as Saturntech9 suggested
