Troubleshooting Recommendations:

  1. Swap the 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.

  2. Perform wiring check between ACPC, GCU#1 and GEN#1.

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

  3. Replace ACPC.

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

  4. Replace GEN 1.
  5. Do close out.
