Troubleshooting Recommendations:

  1. Disconnect SDU connector A228CP1 and RFU connector A240CP1. Inspect the Coaxial cable connector on both ends and make sure it is not damaged or contaminated.

    1. If the checks are good, continue with next step.
    2. If the checks are not good, repair/replace defective coax as required and do close out.

  2. Perform a continuity check as follows:

    From To Result
    A228CP1-13 Ground
    A228CP1-13 Outer connector (Shield)

    1. If there is continuity, repair/replace defective coax wiring as required and do close out.
    2. If there is no continuity, continue with next step.

  3. Perform a continuity check as follows:

    From To Result
    A228CP1-13 A240CP1-13

    1. If there is continuity, continue with next step.
    2. If there is no continuity, repair/replace defective coax wiring as required and do close out.

  4. Replace the RFU. Is the fault still present?

    1. If YES, continue with next step.
    2. If NO, do close out.

  5. Replace the SDU.
  6. Do close out.
