Completely do the PMCS in WP 0035 of TM 3-6665-392-13&P, including the weekly
PMCS in WP 35-6.
Make sure to put the system in STANDBY and run it for 4 hours to
ensure it’s fully mission capable.
•±
Give the CBMS II as much time as it needs to complete its built-in-test (BIT) sequence.
If you shut down the CBMS too soon, it eventually can lead to BIT failures with
corresponding FAIL codes on Page 6 of the status tab. If you do the weekly PMCS on
time, it cuts down the time needed to complete the start up procedure and reduces
the number of failures.
•±
Do the confidence checks both before and after you go into STANDBY for PMCS.
•±
Document any FAIL codes from Page 6 on either a DA Form 5988-E or 2404.
That way
the field level maintainer can do a better job troubleshooting what’s wrong.
•±
Shut down the CBMS like it says in WP 0012.
Make sure the soldier display unit (SDU)
says it’s safe to turn off the power before you do.

Dear Half-Mast,
In my battalion, we have
several major tool sets,
including the SATS and GMTK.
When I try to order replacement
tools for these sets, I can’t
find NSNs or part numbers for
them listed on the AMDF. What
can I do?
