If you receive customer reports in the above model vehicles of unexpected volume
fluctuation or speed dependent volume adjustment not functioning, this may be due to
the Sound Amplifier (A2/13) not coded correctly to handle the wheel speed signal or due
to a malfunction in the Sound Amplifier microphone (B25/6). To resolve, follow the
procedure outlined below.

2. Read out any Diagnostic Trouble Codes. Check for DTC N1260 (Sound Amplifier
Faulty). If the DTC is stored, replace the Sound Amplifier. Refer to WIS document
AR82.62-P-7720GH. If error still exists, proceed to step 3.
3. Visually check the part number and "Q-Level" of the Sound Amplifier. Ensure the
vehicle is equipped with: Sound Amplifier part number A163 820 40 89 or later and
Q-5 or later version.
NOTE: As of MY 2002, the speed-dependent volume is controlled by the BOSE Sound
Amplifier.
NOTE: As you remove the Microphone, insure that the wiring harness is not
damaged.
3. After assembly of new microphone, re-check per step 1.
