AFFECTED VEHICLES
1998 Rodeo (UE) models.
SERVICE INFORMATION
Some affected vehicles may experience a whining noise coming from the speakers when the cassette player is in use. This whining noise increases in
volume as engine speed is increased. This condition may be due to electromagnetic interference resulting from the instrument panel harness being in
close proximity to the radio assembly.
To repair this condition, install an adhesive-backed radio noise suppression plate (Part No. 8-97202-291-0) to the top surface of the radio assembly,
using the procedure described in this Service Bulletin.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1.
Remove the radio assembly from the vehicle in accordance with page 8C-5 of the 1998 Rodeo (UE) Workshop Manual (UE098-WSM-L01).
2.
Peel the backing from the radio noise suppression plate (Part No. 8-97202-291-0) and carefully position it adhesive side down over the top surface
of the radio assembly (figure 1).
