CHIB are okay. Also, the link between the AIB or CIB and the

(Remember that switch presses must go through the entire system
and than back to the console before the LED comes on.)

1. Check to see if the ACT LED on CIB or AIB is off.
- Disconnect all other possible CHIBs, HIBs, and IIBs from
the AIB or CIB. (If any of these devices is accessing the AIB
or CIB, the ACT LED will be on.)
- If the ACT LED on the CIB or AIB is off, see the section
labeled: "If ACT LED on CIB or AIB is off".

Bad wiring to comparator
Improper option switch setting on CIB
Bad CIB
