ERRATIC RADIO VOLUME CONTROL (REMOVE RADIO/SEND TO REPAIR)

SUBJECT: ERRATIC RADIO VOLUME CONTROL (REPLACE RADIO CONTROL HEAD)

MODELS AFFECTED: 1993 FLEETWOODS (RWD)

The 1993 Fleetwood (RWD) radio may exhibit a condition of erratic volume changes during the first few minutes of operation in cold ambients. The radio will operate normally once the temperature of the passenger compartment warms up.

This condition may be caused by the Speed Compensated Volume (SCV) control circuitry within the radio control head. When the SCV circuitry is operating normally, the radio volume will increase as vehicle speed increases to compensate for road noise.

To repair this condition replace the radio control head per procedures in Section 8C of the Service Information Manual. Refer to DSIB 93 - I - 1 for radio control head exchange procedures. Note on the repair ticket of the radio control head to "Repair per Document RD93TBB303".

For warranty purposes use Labor Operation R0765 at.3 hour.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
