Message Description:
RALT-1 bus data absent at L-IOC and at one of the TCAS channels.
Possible Causes:
- Radio Altimeter Transceiver (RAD ALT 4000) (A32)
- L Input/Output Concentrator Unit (IOC) (A4-IOC1)
- Junction Box (JB1)
- Traffic Alert and Collision-Avoidance System (TCAS) Transceiver (A5)
- Integrated-Avionics Processor System (IAPS) Card Cage (ICC) (A4)
- Associated Wiring
Troubleshooting Tips:

Troubleshooting Recommendations:
- Reset RALT (CB1-A7) circuit breaker.
- If system checks are good, do close out
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Swap IOCs.
- If system checks are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Do a wiring check of the data bus RALT-1 from Radio Altimeter receiver connector A32P1, through Junction Box #1, to the Traffic Alert and Collision-Avoidance System (TCAS) Transceiver connector A5EP1 and the IAPS connector A4P1. Repair/replace as required.
- If system checks are good, 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.
- Replace Radio Altimeter Transceiver.
- If system checks are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Replace Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) Transceiver.
- If system checks are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Replace Junction Box #1.
- If system checks are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Replace IAPS Card Cage (ICC).
- Do close out.
