Troubleshooting Recommendations:

  1. Make sure the Left fire handle is not operated.
  2. Swap GCU #1 with GCU #2 (physically or using the GCU patch cable).
    NOTE: Use PMAT to monitor the fault on GCU.

    1. If system checks are good, replace GCU #1 and do close out.
    2. If fault remains, continue with next step.

  3. Disconnect GCU #1 connector A56P2 and Left Engine Fire Handle connector A209P1. Perform a wiring check (short circuit = failure) between A56P2-20 and ground.

    1. If wiring checks are good, continue with next step.
    2. If wiring checks are not good, repair defective wiring and do close out.

  4. Do the operational test of the fire extinguishing system.

    1. If test passes, do close out.
    2. If test fails, continue with next step.

  5. Replace Left fire handle.
  6. Do close out.
