Troubleshooting Recommendations:
- Check for 28 VDC of pilot weather control panel (A122P1-D) and copilot weather control panel (A92P1-D).
- If there is 28 VDC, go to step 4.
- If there is no 28 VDC, continue with next step.
- Perform a wiring check for open or short circuit to ground between SPDA 1 and weather control panels as follows:
From To Result A13P2-D A122P1-D A13P2-J A92P1-D - If wiring checks are not good, repair defective wiring as required and do close out.
- If wiring checks are good, continue with next step.
- Swap SPDA 1 with SPDA 3.
- If system checks are good, replace SPDA 1 and do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Perform a wiring check for open or short circuit to ground between WX RTA (A125P1) and weather control panels.
- If wiring checks are not good, repair defective wiring as required and do close out.
- If wiring checks are good, continue with next step.
- Replace pilot's WX control panel.
- If system checks are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Replace copilot's WX control panel.
- If system checks are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Replace WXR R/T.
- Do close out.
