The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
Condition/Concern:
A customer may comment that the navigation radio presets listed on the left side of the radio screen will display a song title or an artist instead of a Station ID or Call letter.
Example: The preset reads ELVIS instead of 101.5 FM or the call letters WKRP
Recommendation/Instructions:
Radio stations will display a RDS message that should only have the station call letters or station ID number. Some stations will display the name of the song that the station is currently playing or a artist name. This title will show up on the preset of the radio. If the customer cycles the key, the preset may read the name of the next song that the station is sending out or the station may decide to go back to displaying a Station ID or Call letters. This is a normal characteristic of the radio and no repairs should be attempted.
Note: If a radio preset is reading the title of a song or artist and the customer wants to see what Station Id is programmed to that desired preset. Have the customer hit the preset that is displaying the song name/artist and the Station ID number will be displayed in the middle of the radio screen.
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
