How to resolve Transmitter Fault in Cirrus Aircrafts?
If your Cirrus Aircrafts has a Transmitter Fault, ensure all antenna connections are correct; otherwise, return it to Garmin for service.
What to do if alternator output is low in Cirrus SR22?
If the alternator output is low on your Cirrus Aircrafts, there are several potential causes. A loose alternator wire connection could be the issue; try tightening the corresponding connector. It could also be due to a faulty voltage regulator, MCU, or alternator, in which case you should replace the faulty component. Finally, low engine RPM can cause this issue, so try increasing the engine RPM.
How to fix no battery output in Cirrus SR22 Aircrafts?
If there's no battery output in your Cirrus Aircrafts, check for poor battery connections and clean and tighten them. If the battery is faulty, replace it.
How to fix inoperable external power receptacle in Cirrus Aircrafts?
If the external power receptacle is inoperable on your Cirrus Aircrafts, ensure that the BAT 1 switch is in the ON position. If it is already ON, inspect and repair any faulty ground wire/connection at the receptacle or firewall ground bus bar. If the issue persists, the ground power relay may be faulty, and the MCU should be replaced.
What causes low output from alternator 2 in Cirrus Aircrafts?
Low output from alternator 2 in your Cirrus Aircrafts can stem from a few issues. First, check for and tighten any loose alternator wire connections. If connections are secure, the rectifier or MCU may be faulty, requiring you to replace the alternator or MCU, respectively. Also, ensure that the RPM is not too low; increasing the RPM might resolve the issue.
What to do for Baro Altitude Fault in Cirrus SR22 Aircrafts?
If your Cirrus Aircrafts is experiencing a Baro Altitude Fault, first verify that the baro altimeter has power and is properly wired. Then, verify the configuration is set correctly using the GTS 8XX Install Tool.
What to do if there are no audio alerts in Cirrus SR22 Aircrafts?
If you are not getting any audio alerts from your Cirrus Aircrafts, make sure the audio is properly wired from the GTS 8XX and the volume isn't set too low.
How to resolve a red 'X' on a data port in Cirrus SR22 Aircrafts?
If you see a red 'X' on a data port on the configuration page of your Cirrus Aircrafts, ensure the port is correctly wired to the GTS 8XX and that the correct settings are selected on the configuration page.
How to fix low engine RPM in Cirrus Aircrafts?
To fix low engine RPM in your Cirrus Aircrafts, increase the engine RPM.
Why is alternator noisy in Cirrus Aircrafts?
A noisy alternator in your Cirrus Aircrafts may be due to worn alternator bearings or faulty alternator diodes. In either case, you should replace the alternator.
