Fault Message:
DADC/WRG/WX RTA FAULT (33A)
Fault Code:
3440020WX
Associated CAS:
| Reporting LRU: | Weather Radar System |
| System Description: | 34-41-00 |
| Schematic Diagram: | 34-41-00 [ Global Express ] [ G5000 ] [ Global XRS ] |
| Wiring Diagram: | 34-11-01 [ Global Express ] [ G5000 ] [ Global XRS ] 34-41-01 [ Global Express ] [ G5000 ] [ Global XRS ] |
Fault Description:
Altitude is not available from Micro Air Data Computer (MADC) 1. Amber FAIL legend and fault code 33 show in Multi-Function Display (MFD) status window. Crew may notice that ALT mode is not available.
Possible Causes:
- Weather Radar (WXR) Receiver/Transmitter (A125)
- Micro Air Data Computer (MADC) 1 (A27)
- Associated Wiring
Troubleshooting Tips:
Advisory Wire/Service Bulletin: None
Forum Articles/Infoservice/Newsletter: None
The FAIL legend and fault codes show on the MFD status window only when the WXR system is in TST (Test) mode and an active fault has occurred.
NOTE: There is a delay of up to 4 minutes for some faults to display. Therefore allow system in test mode for significant time to display all active faults.

Troubleshooting Recommendations:
- Make sure ADC is powered during test and show valid data on PDF.
- Perform a wiring check for open or short circuit to ground between WX RTA (A125P1), and MADC 1 (A27).
- 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 MADC 1 with MADC 2.
- If system checks are good, replace MADC 1 and do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Replace WXR R/T.
- Do close out.
