Message Overview:
Message Description:
The amber 'XBLEED FAIL' caution CAS message indicates a failure is detected is indicated by comparing the IASC2 command signal with the position signal of the cross bleed valve (MPE10) received by both IASCs.
- The cross-flow valve has failed in the full closed position, full open position when commanded to another position.
Possible Causes:
- Isolation Valve (Cross Bleed Valve) (MPE2)
- Junction Box 2 (JB2) DB1
- Air Conditioning/Bleed Control Panel (PL17)
- Integrated Air System Controller (IASC) 1 (A55)
- IASC 2 (A56)
- Associated Wiring

Troubleshooting Recommendations:
- Determine the commanded position of the valve and cross check this position either visually or through the IASC LRU Test page, discrete data section.
- If the valve is failing when commanded to the closed position, a ground should be on IASC #1 A56P4 pin 35, or IASC #2 A55P4 pin 35. Or the valve should have continuity between pins 4 & 5.
- If the valve is failing when commanded to the open position, a ground is sent to the DCU A14BP1 pin 6H where the signal is compared to the XBleed rotary switch. Or the valve should have continuity between pins 3 & 4.
- Perform wiring checks between the X BLEED switch on the Bleed air control panel and IASC 2.
- If defects are found, repair defective wiring as required.
- If no defects are found, continue with next step.
- Perform a continuity check on the Bleed air control panel while activating the XBLEED switch.
- If switch is faulty, replace the switch.
- If no defects are found, continue with next step.
