2. Check the volta
g
e between:
P31-A10 and FG
P31-A11 and FG
P31-B11 and FG
Is there +5VDC between P31 and FG?
Note:
Since there is no convenient test point
on the HPS to check for +5VDC, this
step has
y
ou check four separate
+5VDC volta
g
es that run from the HPS
throu
g
h the PWBA Hotaru and on to the
C258MAIN throu
g
h J31. Althou
g
h not a
foolproof test, it should
g
ive
y
ou some
indication of whether or not the +5VDC
portion of the HPS is workin
g
correctl

.
Failure to read +5VDC on an
y
of the test
points most likel
y
reflect a HPS failure,
but in some cases an PWBA Hotaru
failure ma
