ISSUE
Some vehicles built on or after 3/4/02, equipped with the Pioneer "Ultimate" 450 watt audio system may exhibit a whine noise from the speakers when
using the radio or the CD. The noise changes with engine RPM and is worse with various electrical loads on. This may be due to electrical interference
induced into the system by the routing of the power and grounds leads.
ACTION
To correct the whine noise, the power/ground wiring must be rerouted. To accomplish this, some of the wiring in the vehicle harness will be disabled and
an overlay harness will be installed. Order Overlay Harness Kit, 2L2Z-19B113-AA.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Refer to the Service Procedures & Illustrations on the instruction sheet included in the kit.
