# SQUEAL FROM SPEAKERS DUE TO CD PLAYER

#### MODELS AFFECTED: 1990 ALLANTES AND BROUGHAMS EQUIPPED WITH CD PLAYER

This bulletin is being revised to include labor time allowances for the Allante.

#### Condition:

---------- Brougham -------- A high-pitched tone noise (10 kHz) may occur on early 1990 Broughams equipped with optional CD player radio. The tone or squeal may occur under the following conditions:

CD playing, "COMP" feature on, customer presses ST-PLAY to stop the CD then ST-PLAY to restart the CD.

#### Allante

A high-pitched tone noise may occur on early 1990 Allantes with standard CD player. The tone or squeal may occur under the following conditions:

CD playiny, customer presses stop/eject then play/prog then stop/eject, in cold ambient temperatures (approximately 20 DEG F).

On both the Brougham and Allante the CD will not play; a continuous 10 kHz tone or squeal will be audible through the speakers. The condition will correct itself when the radio is turned off then on, or when the key is turned off.

#### Cause:

----- The cause is data communications problems between the CD deck and the radio processor. New CD decks are available from radio repair centers to correct these conditions.

#### Correction:

To repair this condition on Broughams exchange the radio with one available from a local AC-Delco Repair Center. Refer to DSIB 90-I-1 for a list of centers with exchange stock.

To repair this condition on Allantes remove the combo panel and remove the CD player per instructions in Section 9A of the 1990 Service Information Manual. Exchange the CD unit only with Dayton Speedometer. (Do not exchange the entire combo panel; just the tape deck.) Refer to DSIB 90-I-1 for the procedure.
