Grand Prix V6-191 3.1L VIN M SFI (1998)
During the cleaning process, the radio may display an error message and eject the cartridge. This is a result of an added feature in the tape player
that detects broken tapes.
If an error message occurs, complete the cassette tape head and capstan cleaning either of the following 2 ways:
^
Activate the bypass feature:
-
Turn the ignition to the ON position.
-
Turn the radio OFF.
-
Press the TAPE/PLAY button and hold for 3 seconds.
-
After the 3 seconds, ensure the tape symbol in the display flashes for 2 seconds indicating the bypass feature is active.
-
Turn the radio ON.
-
Insert the cleaning cassette.
The bypass feature will remain active until the EJECT button is pressed.
^
Insert the cleaning cassette at least 3 times in order to thoroughly clean the tape player.
A non-scrubbing action, wet-type cleaner with a fabric belt may also be used. This cleaner will not cause an error message. However, the tape
player will not be cleaned as thoroughly.
