It's the cps (crankshaft position sensor)
it cuts off the power to the fuel pump as a preventive mesure, it's a very common problems with the catera
i had the same problem with my 2000 model

Most likely a failed crank or cam sensor. Without testing its just a guess.

2000 catera cadalac the car will not fire. the battery is okay.

The crankshaft position sensor will do that for you. Have someone check the code, if you don't want to take it to the dealer, rent the computer from autozone( a little expensive, but you'll get your money back when you take it back) If it cranks, but does not fire( try to start) that is what it is. Many people mistake the issue for the fuel pump. It is a common problem with the catera and it is a pain to reach.
