You really need to talk to your Lockheed CETS rep. They should be able to help you diagnose the problem and explain why it is occurring.

Generally SMS-079 is a Station 9 RIU problem. Changing out the AMRIU or MRIU in the launcher (depending on which launcher we are talking about) will fix the problem.

changed out the AMRIU and 8/9 matrix assy, too. but no result.

When was the last time you ran a mux test on this jet? I'm talking about all three muxes--A, D, and W. We did it on our fleet every phase and we NEVER had mux problems once we went through the fleet the first time. Since I've retired I've forgotten what the tester is really called, but we called it the "Muxbuster". Oh yeah--it's the MBFI. Use it. It's a good tool and you'll learn a lot about the various muxes.

thank you [Link pending approval] but we dont have any muxbuster . i thing it's a tester, isn't it? we use only 501 test set on the A/C. i thing the problem is at the harness. coz, we tried all producers which the [Link pending approval] alloving.

sorry ı couldn't understand the meaning of the ''CETS'' ?

CETS is contract engineering technical support. You should have a Lockheed engineer on site or in your country that you use for advanced technical support.

What country are you in?

Order the MBFI cable kit and the software ASAP! Go through your support or Item Manager. Weapons cannot live without that tester verfiying the W and C mux matrices so it's a must for troubleshooting your weapons system!

okay thanks a lot. sorry ı forget to ask you one question. is this tester using all block (especially block 30/40/50)?

okay thanks a lot. sorry ı forget to ask you two question. is this tester using all block (especially block 30/40/50)? have any photo about this tester?

My information is at least five years old now, so it may be outdated. The MBFI is nothing more than a PC with the appropriate program and a cable set. When I was using it it covered all models and all blocks. I have no idea of it's applicablity to FMS jets, but I suspect it'll work for them, too. FMS to Americans stands for "Foreign Military Sales" under which Turkiye qualifies. Hope this helps. Truth be known, the MBFI is really nothing more than a glorified megohmmeter.
