If there is an incorrect configuration or response:
• verify that the system controls are set correctly
• check the respective circuit breaker as needed. Maintenance must first
determine that it is safe to reset a tripped circuit breaker on the ground
• test the respective system light as needed
Before engine start, use individual system lights to verify the system status. If an
individual system light indicates an improper condition:
• check the Dispatch Deviations Guide (DDG) or the operator equivalent
to decide if the condition has a dispatch effect
• decide if maintenance is needed
If, during or after engine start, a red warning or amber caution light illuminates:
• do the respective non-normal checklist (NNC)
• on the ground, check the DDG or the operator equivalent
If, during recall, an amber caution illuminates and then extinguishes after a master
caution reset:
• check the DDG or the operator equivalent
• the respective non-normal checklist is not needed
