Troubleshooting Recommendations:
- Reset CVR Circuit Breaker (CB1-D6) (A/C 20501 - 20739 Pre SB 350-31-004) or CVR Circuit Breaker (CB2-D7) (A/C 20501 - 20739 Post SB 350-31-004 and A/C 20740 and SUBS). Is the fault message still present?
- If YES, continue with next step.
- If NO, do close out.
- Confirm presence of the 28 VDC by measuring VDC between A129P1 pin 9 and GND (A129P1 pin 17 Chassis Ground) at the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) (A129) (Pre SB 350-23-009) / Recorder Independent Power Supply (RIPS) (A229) (Post SB 350-23-009).
Measurement at: Chassis GND: Expected Result: Result: Conn. A129P1 - 9 GND or (A129P1 - 17) 28 VDC - If YES, go to Step 3.
- If NO, check CVR Impact Switch (S142) and perform wiring check between the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) (A129) (Pre SB 350-23-009) / Recorder Independent Power Supply (RIPS) (A229) (Post SB 350-23-009) and Circuit Breaker for the following wires:
From: To: Expected Result: Result: CB1-D6 CBP1J3 pin 2
or
CB2-D7 CBP2J3 pin 7JB2BP1 pin 23 0Ω A129P1 pin 9 JB2BP1 pin 23 0Ω A129P1 pin 17 Ground Stud (GS 4032) 0Ω - If the check is satisfactory, continue with next step.
- If the check is not satisfactory, repair/replace defective wiring.
- Replace Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) (A129) (Pre SB 350-23-009) / Recorder Independent Power Supply (RIPS) (A229) (Post SB 350-23-009). Is the fault message still present?
- If YES, do close out.
- If NO, continue with next step.
- Perform wiring check CVR-1 A429 HS Output to DCU1 per the following table:
From: To: Expected Result: Result: Conn. A129P1 - 51 DCU1 A14BP1 pin 12G 0Ω Conn. A129P1 - 50 DCU1 A14BP1 pin 12H 0Ω - If the check is satisfactory, continue with step next step.
- If the check is not satisfactory, repair the defective wiring.
- Is the fault message still present?
- If YES, do close out.
- If NO, replace DCU1.
- Do close out.
