Faulty units are identified via the various levels of internal BITE that provide error and warning
codes. These codes can be accessed through the SATCOM system. In the event of a fault, the
SDU will receive an ARINC Maintenance Word, which is a map of errors and/or warnings received.
Faulty units must be returned to the Supplier.
