Troubleshooting Recommendations:
- Access CAIMS active faults. Are any of the following messages displayed.
- FWC 1 - EXTERNAL RSB FAULT
- FWC 2 - EXTERNAL RSB FAULT
- FWC 3 - EXTERNAL RSB FAULT
- If NO, do close out.
- If YES, access CAIMS Systems Diagnostics and perform the RSB system test or IAC EDS core test and continue with next step.
- After each IMT test has completed, record the active IMT code from the TEST RESULTS page.
- Perform the Intergrated Maintenance Test (IMT) fault code look-up to find the applicable troubleshooting procedures.
- Do close out.
