FAILED GROUND SPEED SENSOR (PLANTING
DETECTED WITHOUT GROUND SPEED)
The failed ground speed sensor alarm triggers when planting is detected
with no ground speed being reported. This can result from a poor or faulty
connection to the speed sensor or from a defective sensor. This is a 4-chirp
alarm which is acknowledged by pressing the Alarm Cancel key, but will
re-activate until the problem is corrected.
