Message Description:
LB-RIU-8 bus absent at TSS and L-HF. Suspect failed LB-RIU-8 output or wiring. Equation is blocked when L-GP-1 has failed. Data from RIU was originated from L-GP-1 bus and L-GP-1 data must be present at L-RIU.
Possible Causes:
- Left Radio Interface Unit (RIU 1) (A17)
- Junction Box 1 (JB 1)
- Traffic/Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) (A238)
- Traffic Surveillance System (TSS) Transponder Unit (TCAS/TSS Unit) (A5)
- HF Transceiver 1 (A61)
- Associated Wiring
Troubleshooting Tips:
Advisory Wire/Service Bulletin: None

Troubleshooting Recommendations:
- Reset RIU 1A (CB1-B5) and RIU 1B/AURAL (CB1-B4) circuit breaker.
- If system check passes, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Do the wiring check of the ARINC 429 data bus LA-RIU-8 between RIU 1 connector A17P1, through Junction Box 1, to the TCAS/TSS Unit connector A238BP1 and the HF Transceiver 1 connector A61P1. Repair/replace as required.
- If system check passes, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
NOTE: An internal short of any LRUs connected to this data bus might cause this failure.
- Swap HF Transceivers.
- If system check passes, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Replace the left RIU.
- If system check passes, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Replace TCAS/TSS Unit.
- Do close out.
