Troubleshooting Recommendations:

  1. Swap GCU 3 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 3 and do close out.
    2. If fault remains, continue with next step.

  2. Disconnect connector GCU 3 (A58P1) and VFG (G3P1).
  3. Perform wiring checks (continuity= failure) within VFG 3 as follow:

    From To Result
    G3P1-B Ground

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

  4. Replace VFG 3.
    NOTE: Check G3J1-B (VFG side) is shorted to ground to confirm VFG/connector failure.
  5. Do close out.
