Troubleshooting Recommendations:

  1. Disconnect GCU 4 connector A59P2 and VFG 4 connector G4P1. Perform a continuity check as follows:

    From To Result
    A59P2-33 Ground
    A59P2-60 Ground
    A59P2-33 A59P2-60

    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
    A59P2-33 Backshell (Shield)
    A59P2-60 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
    A59P2-33 G4P1-K
    A59P2-60 G4P1-M

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

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

    1. If YES, continue with next step.
    2. If NO, replace GCU 4 and do close out.

  5. Replace VFG 4.
  6. Do close out.
