How do you remove and replace the thermostat in a Cadillac CTS?

To remove and replace the thermostat in a vehicle, disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal and drain the cooling system.

Remove the intake manifold and the thermostat housing fasteners. Press down on the thermostat and rotate it to clear the locking ears, then remove it. Remove the coolant pipe front and rear fasteners, as well as the pipe to thermostat housing fasteners, and remove the pipes from the thermostat housing.
