5. Look in the vicinity of the affected LRU for any heavy objects that may not be securely fastened to
the structure, inducing vibration in the ADAHRS.
6. Look for evidence of water or fluid contamination in the area around the affected LRU.
7. Disconnect the affected LRU’s connector(s) and check for bent pins.
8. Inspect the wire harness clamp on the rear of the connector to verify that it is not too tight and
smashing/shorting the wires. If the wire clamp is installed upside down, it has sharp edges that can
cut into the wires. Verify the presence of protective wire wrap between the wires and the clamp.
If the condition is not resolved by following the preceding instructions, use data in this section before
contacting Garmin Product Support for additional assistance. A Garmin Field Service Engineer may ask the
technician to download the fault logs via an SD card and email the logs back to Garmin to help determine the
root cause.
5.2 CAN Bus Network Troubleshooting
If communication problems between LRUs are suspected, the CAN bus wiring and arrangement of devices
on the network should be examined.
1. Review the status LED of devices on the CAN bus. The GAD 29B, GEA 24, GSU 25D, GAD 27 and
GSA 28 (if GFC 500 is installed) have an LED on their outer cases that indicates the LRU’s current
status. The status indications are shown in Table 5-1:
Table 5-1 – Status LED Indications
2. Use the guidance in Table 5-2 to troubleshoot LED indications.
