Troubleshooting Recommendations:

  1. Disconnect GCU 3 connector A58P2 and VFG 3 connector G3P1. Perform a continuity check as follows:

    From To Result
    A58P2-33 Ground
    A58P2-60 Ground
    A58P2-33 A58P2-60

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

  2. Perform a continuity check as follows:

    From To Result
    A58P2-33 Backshell (Shield)
    A58P2-60 Backshell (Shield)

    1. If there is continuity, repair defective 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
    A58P2-33 G3P1-K
    A58P2-60 G3P1-M

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

  4. Swap the GCU 3 with GCU 4. Is the fault still present?
    NOTE: Allow at least 8.5 minutes for the GCU to perform its self tests (2 samples).

    1. If NO, replace GCU 3 and do close out.
    2. If YES, continue with next step.

  5. Replace VFG 3.
  6. Do close out.
