Symptom/Condition
A squeak sound heard after light throttle tip-in. The squeak is not heard at idle or under heavy load.
Diagnosis
Open the hood and inspect the PCV hose for signs of contact with the bottom of the wiper module. If the PCV hose is contacting the bottom of the wiper module, proceed to the repair procedure. It may be necessary to start the vehicle and apply a light throttle tip-in while looking to see if the hose is contacting the bottom of the wiper module.
If the PCV hose is not contacting the bottom of the wiper module, this bulletin does not apply and further diagnosis is required to determine the cause of the squeaking sound.
Repair Procedure
1. Remove the PCV hose.
2. Replace the PCV hose with P/N 04781252AE. Be sure to orientate the PCV hose clamp correctly on the valve cover (Figure 1).
