Mirror support system failure
Tuesday, November 9, 2021 5:22 AM
Problem(s) Encountered:
The airbag system was not working at startup. I called Eric and he had me wiggle the connector for Hardpoint 2 until it was making contact, whereupon the system worked again.
However, it failed again at 2 AM MST and I had to repeat the process. It took a lot of wiggling before it worked. At Eric's suggestion I reviewed the mirror support manual and
it appears that, if it fails again and I can't get it to make contact, I can stay on the air by typing H2, which tells the system to ignore input from HP2 and use other information to adjust the air bags.
Solution:
I believe this problem had more to do with a failing UPS for the mirror support electronics controller. It ultimately failed completely. A new UPS has been installed and problems have disappeared.
