Before you disconnect or connect electrical connectors, disconnect the electrical power.
This to prevent electrical arcs between contacts which can cause damage to the
equipment.

• Before you do a resistance or continuity check, disconnect the electrical power. This will
prevent damage to the equipment.

Isolation procedure
1 Disconnect the connector B3P1 and B4P1 from the number 1 and number 2 cockpit
fans.
Do a 28 Vdc voltage signal check:

From To

B3P1-D (+) B3P1-F (ground)

B4P1-D (+) B4P1-F (ground)

Is there 28 Vdc voltage signal?

Yes: Step 4
No: Step 2

2 Repair or replace the defective wiring.

Connect the connector B3P1 and B4P1 to the number 1 and number 2 cockpit fans.
Is fault removed?
Yes: Step 5
No: Step 3

3 Replace the number 1 (number 2) cockpit ventilation fan. Refer to 39-A-21-20-03-00A-

520A-A and 39-A-21-20-03-00A-720A-A for the number 1 cockpit ventilation fan. Refer
to 39-A-21-20-04-00A-520A-A and 39-A-21-20-04-00A-720A-A for the number 2
cockpit ventilation fan.
Is the fault removed?
Yes: Step 5
No: Step 4

4 Replace the ventilation control panel. Refer to 39-A-21-20-01-00A-520A-A and 39-A-21
