The 2006 Cadillac CTS is equipped with a timing chain rather than a timing belt.

I can't provide a diagram, but I can guide you through the process. To replace the timing belt on a 3.2 Cadillac CTS, first, remove the front engine cover and any components obstructing access, such as the serpentine belt and crankshaft pulley.
