Require immediate crew attention. These messages are accompanied by flashing master warning, triple chime attenson with or without voice message or dedicated tone. Require immediate crew awareness and future crew action may be required in the form of alternate system selection or performance limitation. These message are accompanied by flashing master caution and a single chime. Indicate safe or normal system operation which require crew awareness, over and above the dark cockpit philosophy. Indicate minor failures or reduction in systems capability, which require no crew action.

Troubleshooting Recommendations:

  1. Verify pressure on the fire bottle gauge is reading normal pressure. Ref chart. If bottle is low, replace. If bottle pressure is normal continue to next step.
  2. At the FIREX Control Unit (A91), plug A91P2, check pin 4 to ground for resistance. Should be less than 1 ohm.
  3. If resistance is higher than normal, reconnect A91P2 and disconnect A110P1 from #2 Fire Bottle and jumper pins 2 to 3. Turn power on and verify FIREX BTL 2 (cyan) CAS is not present. If fault has cleared suspect faulty pressure switch internal of the fire bottle. If the pressure switch if suspected, follow the final steps of TASK 26-21-01-720-801 (there is some overlap between the fault isolation tasks and the procedure).
  4. If fault is still present, verify wiring between pin 4 on plug A91P2 to pin 2 on A110P1 shows low resistance end to end.
  5. If the above discrete wiring checks good, replace the FIREX Control Unit IAW TASK 26-11-01-000-801, TASK 26-11-01-400-801.
