- Certain Electrical Systems Failure modes can prevent CAIMS PMAT from being available due to loss of power to PMAT or supporting systems. In these cases the use of SIGNBOARD accessed through the EMS-CDU's is a possible way to determine the cause of the problem. Once the SIGNBOARD Label and Built-In Test (BIT) for the problem are found, see the cross reference to the CAIMS Fault Code number which is how to access the SmartFixPlus Troubleshooting CAIMS by Fault Code
