M2/M3 BFV: FIRE SUPPRESSION SYST - OD1607 - LESSON 2/TASK 2
initial test does not reveal a fault in the system, a pathway is then
followed which will lead to a determination of "no faults found".  If
the initial tests indicate that a malfunction is present in the fire
suppression  system,  troubleshooting  pathways  will  be  explored  to
determine  which  component  is  faulty  so  that  the  problem  can  be
corrected.  The test is then repeated to verify that all faults have
been found and corrected.
2.
Troubleshooting the Fire Suppression System
As with many troubleshooting tasks, the task of troubleshooting the
fire  suppression  system  on  the  M2/M3  Bradley  fighting  vehicle
requires the mechanic to perform tests and respond to the results of
those tests by performing more tests until the faulty component has
been isolated.
The test results can branch off into many different
areas of the vehicle as various components are eliminated as being
the  possible  cause  of  the  trouble.
It  would  be  confusing  and
impractical to attempt to describe all the troubleshooting pathways.
Therefore, this subcourse will deal with only a few of the major
pathways that develop in this troubleshooting task.
Since the troubleshooting procedures for the fire suppression system
are also used to test the system for proper operation, one of the
pathways will indicate tests and test results that can be expected if
everything in the system is working properly and no faults are found.
This  pathway,  which  will  be  identified  as  pathway  one  in  this
subcourse, is also used to verify that a problem has been solved once
a faulty part has been identified and replaced.
Two other major
pathways that could be encountered when there are problems present in
the fire suppression system will then be explored in the subcourse.
Because  the  objective  of  this  portion  of  the  subcourse  is  to
illustrate  the  methods  used  to  troubleshoot  the  fire  suppression
system  on  the  M2/M3  Bradley  fighting  vehicle,  the  procedures
necessary to replace faulty components will not be covered here.
Instead, reference will be made to the technical manual (TM) where
the replacement procedures can be found.
