(5) If a fault is detected, refer to the Fault Isolation section for troubleshooting
information.
5. Return-to-Service Test
Any time a T
3
CAS LRU or APM is removed and replaced following repair or maintenance, a
return-to-service test is required. The System Self-Test procedures referenced in paragraph 4.A.
and 4 B. are sufficient to check all system parameters.
NOTE:
Anytime the T
3
CAS APM is removed and replaced, the APM must be reconfigured
using the procedures in Section 6.B.
6. Operational Software Loading Using an ARINC 615A Portable Data Loader or
Compact Flash Card
When updating the T
3
CAS Computer Unit with an ARINC 615A data loader or Compact Flash
card, verify the current T

CAS Computer Unit software part number prior to continuing for Flight
Deck system only.
NOTE:
T
3
CAS part numbers 9005000-10000, -10101, -10202, and -10204 use FAT16
formatting which limits the maximum memory size of the CF card to 2GB. A CF card of
at least 128MB is required for the upload of a terrain database.
NOTE:
FAT32 formatting is NOT compatible with T
3
CAS part numbers 9005000-10000, -
10101, -10202, and -10204. If reformatting is required, the CF card must reformat in
FAT or sometimes referred to as FAT16.
NOTE:
T

CAS part numbers 9005000-11203, -11801 and -55801 support both FAT16 and
FAT32 formatting.
A. Current Software Verification
NOTE:
Software verification using Flight Deck systems ONLY.
(1) TCAS Software Verification
Verify the current software part number according to the extended-maintenance
capabilities on status page code 0000 in the FAULT ISOLATION section of this
manual or the individual AMM (refer to the on-board maintenance system
program).
(2) TAWS Software Verification
