Self-Test Error Troubleshooting Guidelines

Table 6 describes the ELT self-test LED error codes (i.e., flash codes), their probable causes, and

possible solutions. The 5-flash error is not present when the ELT is programmed with a serial user
protocol (short message).
NOTE:

Upon activation, the LED will display a long single flash, which is normal. Any self-test error

codes will display following this initial flash. Do not confuse the initial flash with a 1-flash
error code. If there are multiple errors, there is a 0.5 to 1.0 second pause between each

error code.

CODE

PROBABLE CAUSE

POSSIBLE SOLUTION

1-Flash

Indicates a G-switch loop open (Pins 5 and 8)

Remote switch harness connector loose or

disconnected at ELT

Check connector and tighten as necessary

ELT connector pins bent or broken

Check condition of connector pins and

repair or replace as necessary

Connector pins 5 and 8 jumper open

(internal to remote switch harness

connector at ELT end)

Repair open jumper

3-Flash

Indicates a 406 MHz transmission problem

Open or short condition on antenna output

or coax cable

Verify the coax cable/antenna is connected

and in good condition

Perform continuity check of center

conductor and shield

Check for a shorted cable

Check for intermittent connection in the

coax cable

Antenna or installation faulty

Check with a VSWR meter. Check antenna

for opens, shorts, or a resistive ground

plane connection

Impedance presented by antenna

Lengthen or shorten antenna coax cable

length by 4 to 6 inches

Insufficient ground plane

Provide ground plane at least 12 inches in

diameter

Upright metal structure obstructing

antenna causing re-radiation

Stay at least 10-12 inches away from

upright metal structures
