Troubleshooting Recommendations:

  1. Do a complete aircraft power reset. Is the fault still present?

    1. If NO, monitor for failure and do close out.
    2. If YES, continue with next step.

  2. Swap GCU 3 with GCU 4 (Physically or using the GCU patch cable).

    1. If system checks are good, replace GCU 3 and do close out.
    2. If the fault remains, continue with next step.

  3. Replace VFG 3.
  4. Do close out.
