Message Overview:
Message Description:
A-Remote Data Concentrator (RDC)-3 bus is reported failed by at least 3 of the Adaptive Flight-Display Units (AFD) and at least one Data Concentrator Unit (DCU) channel is receiving the Integrated Air System (IAS) Controller (IASC) data. IASC data is the only data transmitted on A-RDC-3 bus.
Possible Causes:
- Remote Data Concentrator (RDC) (A13)
- Junction Box 1 (JB1)
- Junction Box 3 (JB3)
- Primary Flight Display 1 (PFD) (A27)
- Primary Flight Display 2 (PFD) (A26)
- Multi-Function Display 1 (MFD) (A29)
- Multi-Function Display 2 (MFD) (A28)
- Associated Wiring

Troubleshooting Recommendations:
- Reset EICAS RDC A circuit breaker CB1-D2. Is the fault message still present?
- If NO, do close out.
- If YES, continue with next step.
- Dowiring check from RDC (A13), through Junction Box 3 (JB3), to the 4 Adaptive Flight-Display units (A27, A29, A28, A26) for the following wires:
From To Result Conn. A13FP1-4A Conn. A27P2-19 Conn. A13FP1-4B Conn. A27P2-20 Conn. A13FP1-4A Conn. A29P2-19 Conn. A13FP1-4B Conn. A29P2-20 Conn. A13FP1-4A Conn. A28P2-19 Conn. A13FP1-4B Conn. A28P2-20 Conn. A13FP1-4A Conn. A26P2-19 Conn. A13FP1-4B Conn. A26P2-20 - If the check is satisfactory, continue with next step.
- If the check is not satisfactory, repair wiring or replace defective Junction Box 3.
- Dowiring check from RDC (A13), through Junction Box 3 (JB3), to L IASC (A55) for the following wires:
From To Result Conn. A13FP1-2A Conn. A55P2-33 Conn. A13FP1-2B Conn. A55P2-6 - If the check is satisfactory, continue with next step.
- If the check is not satisfactory, repair wiring or replace defective Junction Box 3.
- Remove L PFD (A27). Is the fault message still present\?
- If NO, replace defective Adaptive Flight Display unit.
- If YES, continue with next step.
NOTE: An internal short circuit of the ARINC receiver could result in a transmission failure of the A-RDC-3 data bus.
- Re-install L PFD (A27) and remove L MFD (A29). Is the fault message is still present?
- If NO, replace defective Adaptive Flight Display unit.
- If YES, continue with next step.
NOTE: An internal short circuit of the ARINC receiver could result in a transmission failure of the A-RDC-3 data bus. - Re-install L MFD (A29) and remove R MFD (A28). Is the fault message is still present?
- If NO, replace defective Adaptive Flight Display unit.
- If YES, continue with next step.
NOTE: An internal short circuit of the ARINC receiver could result in a transmission failure of the A-RDC-3 data bus.
- Re-install R MFD (A28) and remove R PFD (A26). Is the fault message is still present?
- If NO, replace defective Adaptive Flight Display unit.
- If YES, continue with next step.
NOTE: An internal short circuit of the ARINC receiver could result in a transmission failure of the A-RDC-3 data bus.
- Re-install R PFD (A26) and replace RDC (A13).
- Do close out.
