Dear Half-Mast,
We have a tough time getting parts for the M989 HEMAT trailers in our
unit. I hear there’s a support solution in place. What’s the story on this?
SGT D.A.
Dear Sergeant D.A.,
You heard right. The Army has authorized a swap-out of all basic M989 HEMAT
trailers, NSN 2330-01-109-4258, for M989A1 HEMATs, NSN 2330-01-275-7474.
Just give your vehicle’s
serial or registration number
to Marleen Fiantaco at
TACOM LCMC. She’ll give you
disposition instructions for the
basic M989. The quickest way to
get the replacement trailer, NSN
2330-01-275-7474, LIN T45465,
is to submit a DA Form 5106,
Mission Support Plan (MSP)
,
through your chain of command.
Contact Marleen at DSN 786-
9362, 586-282-9362. Or email:
marleen.fiantaco@us.army.mil
Dear Half-Mast,
Our unit can’t find repair tracks for fault codes 1701 and 1707 in
the HEMTT -A4 IETM’s troubleshooting section. Can you help us out
with these codes?
SSG J.C.L.
Dear Sergeant J.C.L.,
Can do. TACOM LCMC tells us that both of these fault codes—1701 and
1707—will be added to the HEMTT -A4 IETM in the next change. In the
meantime, here’s what you need to know:
Code 1701 is the result of a programming issue. It appears when the software
attempts to check a component that is not part of the HEMTT -A4’s con±guration.
If you get this code, contact your local logistics assistance representative
(LAR). Your LAR has access to commercial software and instructions that can
help resolve this fault.
As for the second fault code in question—1707—here’s the deal: Operators
must depress the brake pedal
every
time they start a HEMTT -A4 series truck.
If they don’t, the ABS light may illuminate and the ²ash code 1707 appears.
Try to clear this fault code with a ±rm, swift push on the brake pedal. If that
doesn’t work, shut down your vehicle, hold the brake pedal down
and restart your -A4 truck. Get ±eld maintenance to assist you if
that doesn’t solve the problem.
