Stores-Jettison (if required).

Airspeed-

200,

205 knots.

Increase airspeed 5 knots per 1000 pounds of

fuel/store weights

PX III

and plus 5 knots if

CFT's are installed. This airspeed equates to

approximately 7 degrees AOA.

NOTE

During an airstart attempt, do not slow

below the minimum airstart airspeed.

EPU switch-ON.

NOTE

PX II

The VHF radio is not powered by

the EPU.

JFS switch-START 2 below 20,000 feet MSL

and below 400 knots.

EPU fuel quantity should be at least 25

percent (20 percent with JFS running)

at high key for an overhead approach

or 45 percent (40 percent with JFS

running) at 8 nm for a straightin

approach to insure adequate hydraulic

pressure through landing.

The JFS alone does not provide

adequate hydraulic pressure to land

the aircraft.

Do not start the JFS if engine seizure

has occurred or is anticipated or if

engine failure is a result of fuel

starvation. Starting the JFS may result

in no brake/JFS accumulator pressure

for the brakes.

NOTE

If engine is not operating, consider

placing the FUEL MASTER switch to

OFF if a fuel leak exists. This action

may conserve fuel for the JFS.

If the JFS is erroneously placed to

START 1, leave it there.

If the JFS RUN light does not

illuminate or goes off once illuminated,

place the JFS switch to OFF and

reattempt START 2 when the brake/

JFS accumulators are recharged. The

JFS switch does not relatch in either

start position while the JFS is spooling

down.

AIR SOURCE knob-RAM (below 25,000 feet

MSL).

DEFOG lever-Forward.

LG handle-DN. (Use DN LOCK REL button

if required.)

Do not delay lowering LG below 2000

feet AGL.

If LG handle does not lower, select

BRAKES CHAN 2 and position ALT

FLAPS switch to EXTEND.

PW 229

Nozzle remains closed, resulting in

higher than normal landing thrust.

ALT GEAR handle-Pull (if required) (190

knots maximum, if practical).

Alternate LG extension can be used up to 300

knots; however, the NLG may not fully extend

until 190 knots. Time above 190 knots should

be minimized in case there is a leak in the

pneumatic lines.

NWS is not available following alter

nate LG extension.

Do not depress the ALT GEAR reset

button while pulling the ALT GEAR

handle. This action may preclude

successful LG extension.

Airspeed-

190,

195 knots optimum in

pattern.

Increase airspeed 5 knots per 1000 pounds of

fuel/store weights

PX III

and plus 5 knots if

CFT's are installed.

Do not allow airspeed to decrease

below

180,

185 knots plus 5 knots

per 1000 pounds of fuel/store weights

PX III

and plus 5 knots if CFT's are

installed.

After touchdown:

10. DRAG CHUTE switch-DEPLOY (if re

quired).

11. HOOK switch-DN (if required).

If brake/JFS accumulator braking is used:

12. Stop straight ahead and engage parking

brake.

Brakes should be applied in a single,

moderate, and steady application

without cycling the antiskid.

Brake pedal deflection of 1/16 inch

activates the brakes and bleeds the

brake/JFS accumulators. To avoid

brake activation and loss of accumula

tor fluid, do not rest feet on the brake

pedals.

Do not attempt to taxi clear of the

runway. Loss of brake/JFS accumula

tor pressure results in the inability to

stop or steer the aircraft.

13. Refer to ACTIVATED EPU/HYDRAZINE

LEAK, this section.

JETTISON

Selective Jettison

Selective jettison is used to release selected store(s)

(except airtoair missiles) or suspension equipment

in an unarmed or unguided condition.

GND JETT ENABLE switch-ENABLE (if LG

is down).

MASTER ARM switch-MASTER ARM.

ARMT CONSENT switch-On.

PX II

SMS switch-SMS.

PX III

ST STA switch-ST STA.

DOG FIGHT switch-Center.

MFD-SMS format.

Store and station selections can be made

from either cockpit.

SJ OSB (MFD)-Depress.

SJ PAGE (MFD)-Select stores desired for

jettison.

Jettison of an inboard shoulder

mounted store from a TER at station 4

or 6 with the MLG down may result in

LG and store(s) collision. To avoid this,

select RACK for jettison instead of

WPN.

Jettison of external wing fuel tanks

with stores/suspension equipment at

stations 3 and/or 7 with MLG down

may result in LG and external wing

fuel tank collision.

Failure to load the actual stores

configuration into SMS inventory could

cause damage to the aircraft by

inhibiting the selective jettison release

time delay used to insure safe

370/600gallon fuel tank separation

when a store is present at station 3 or 7.

Selective jettison airspeed/mach lim

its in T.O. GR1F16CJ12 are only

valid for:

Selective jettison of one store type at

a time.

Selective jettison from nonadjacent

stations.

If simultaneous selective jettison of

either more than one store type or from

adjacent stations is required, adhere

to emergency jettison airspeed/mach

limits.

NOTE

Weapon(s) and/or rack(s) to be jetti

soned is highlighted.

When 300gallon and 370/600gallon

fuel tanks are carried simultaneously,

the 300gallon fuel tank must be

separated prior to the 370/600gallon

fuel tanks.

10. WPN REL or

PX II

ALT REL but

ton-Depress.

NOTE

When jettisoning tanks from stations 4

and 6, hold release button depressed

for 1 second.

T.O. GR1F16CJ1

Emergency Jettison

Emergency jettison is a onestep operation which

clears all expendable stores and racks except

airtoair missiles. All weapons are released in an

unarmed or unguided condition.

PX II

If the SMS is

off, depressing the EMER STORES JETTISON

button supplies electrical power to the SMS. In

addition, while the button is depressed, the SMS

enters the EJ mode. When the button is released,

the avionic system returns to the previous operating

mode. Emergency jettison is not available unless the

main, standby, or EPU generator is operating.

PX III

Emergency jettison may not be available if an MMC

FAIL PFL message is present. In this case,

emergency jettison can be restored by placing the

MMC switch to OFF.

PX III

If the MMC is off, depressing EMER STORES

JETTISON button supplies electrical power to the

MMC and RIU's. In addition, while the button is

depressed, the MMC enters the EJ mode.

GND JETT ENABLE switch-ENABLE (if

required).

Use EMER STORES JETTISON on the

ground only as a last resort.

EMER STORES JETTISON button-Depress

(1 second).

PX III

Emergency jettison is not

available if an MMC FAIL PFL

message is present. Emergency jetti

son can be restored by placing the

MMC switch to OFF.

NOTE

If the initial actuation of the EMER

STORES JETTISON button fails to

jettison all aircraft stores, subsequent

attempts may successfully release the

remaining stores.

FLCS FAILURES

Significant FLCS failures, except for reversion to

DBU, cause one or more PFL's to be displayed.

Warning level failures also trigger the FLCS

warning light; this light goes off only if the failure

resets. Caution level failures (except FLCS BUS

FAIL) also trigger the FLCS FAULT caution light;

this light goes off if the failure resets or when the

fault is acknowledged. Refer to PILOT FAULT

LIST-FLCS, this section, for PFL list.

The FLCS emergency procedures are based on the

following recommended sequence of pilot actions:

Note PFL(s) displayed.

Acknowledge fault.

Refer to PILOT FAULT LIST-FLCS, this section.

Refer to appropriate FLCS emergency procedure.

Perform FLCS reset, if so directed in the emergency

procedure.

Perform fault recall.

Certain MUX bus communication failures may result

in the inability to display FLCS PFL's on the PFLD.

If this occurs, PFL's may be observed on the FLCS

page of the MFD.

Manual selection of DBU to attempt correction of a

perceived FLCS failure is not recommended.

Do not select DBU if the FLCS warning

light is on since doing so allows failed

signals which were previously voted

out to be used.

Air Data Malfunctions

A single failure in the air data system (static/impact

pressure) is indicated by the FLCS FAULT caution

light and an FLCS ADC FAIL PFL. No degradation

of aircraft performance should be noticed.

Contamination of the pitot probe can cause blockage

of the passage which provides total pressure signals.

This causes erroneously low airspeed indications in

the HUD and on the airspeed/mach indicator with an

FLCS ADC FAIL PFL at approximately 300 knots.

An erroneously low airspeed value is used for FLCS

gain scheduling which may result in pitch

oscillations.

T.O. GR1F16CJ1

3109

If erroneously low airspeed indications are present

both in the HUD and on the airspeed/mach indicator

during takeoff, consider aborting. If takeoff is

continued, maintain airspeed below 210 knots (Cat

I) or 275 knots (Cat III) (use INS groundspeed or

wingman indications to determine airspeed) and

land as soon as practical. Pitch oscillations may be

experienced at higher speeds. If oscillations are

encountered, minimize stick commands and slow to

less than 210 knots (Cat I) 275 knots (Cat III).

A dual failure of static or impact pressure systems is

indicated by the FLCS warning light and a STBY

GAIN PFL. The FLCS ADC FAIL PFL is still present

since the first failure is still active. In standby gains,

the FLCS has transitioned to a fixed set of control

gains which are optimized for sea level and 600 knots

(LG handle in UP) and sea level and 230 knots (LG

handle in DN). The LEF's are at zero degrees with the

LG handle up and ALT FLAPS switch in NORM, and

are at 15 degrees down with the LG handle down or

the ALT FLAPS switch in EXTEND.

An FLCS reset can always be attempted for a first air

data failure. If the first air data failure does not reset,

and a second failure occurs (engaging standby gains),

the first failure is latched and will not reset. However,

the second failure is allowed to be reset and standby

gains can be exited if the reset is successful.

Flying qualities in standby gains are degraded.

Airspeed should be maintained subsonic and less

than 650 knots. AOA should be maintained less than

12 degrees. Since the gains are optimized for 600

knots at sea level, airspeed should be maintained

greater than 240 knots until the LG is lowered.

If FLCS ADC FAIL PFL occurs:

If BRK PWR DEGR PFL is also present, refer to

FLCS SINGLE ELECTRONIC FAILURE, this

section.

Establish 1g flight.

FLCS RESET switch-RESET.

If failure indications go off:

Continue normal operation.

If failure indications remain on:

Land as soon as practical.

If STBY GAIN PFL occurs:

Establish 1g flight with maximum of 12

degrees AOA.

Airspeed 240650 knots with LG up.

FLCS RESET switch-RESET.

Land as soon as practical.

Do not slow below 240 knots with LG up if

STBY GAIN PFL is still present.

AOA Malfunction

A single failure in the AOA system is indicated by

illumination of the FLCS FAULT caution light and an

FLCS AOA FAIL PFL. No degradation in aircraft

handling characteristics should be encountered. The

first AOA failure signal defaults to 11 degrees to

prevent hardover commands if two AOA inputs fail at

the upper AOA limit.

A dual AOA failure illuminates the FLCS warning

light and triggers an FLCS AOA WARN PFL. The

FLCS system code and FLCS AOA FAIL PFL are still

present since the first failure is still active. With a

dual AOA failure, the FLCC selects the mid AOA

value among the remaining good signal, 11 degrees,

and the failed signal. Aircraft handling characteris

tics may be degraded somewhat in the cruise

configuration, but should be adequate for landing

since the first AOA failure defaulted to 11 degrees.

FLCS RESET may be attempted for any AOA failure.

If the first failure does not reset and a second failure

occurs, the first failure is latched and cannot be reset.

If FLCS AOA FAIL PFL occurs:

If BRK PWR DEGR PFL is also present, refer to

FLCS SINGLE ELECTRONIC FAILURE, this

section.

Establish 1g flight.

FLCS RESET switch-RESET.

If failure indications go off:

Continue normal operation.

If failure indications remain on:

Land as soon as practical.

Do not exceed 11 degrees AOA during

approach, landing, or twopoint aerodynamic

braking.

If FLCS AOA WARN PFL occurs:

Establish 1g flight.

T.O. GR1F16CJ1

3110

FLCS RESET switch-RESET.

If FLCS warning light goes off:

Land as soon as practical.

Do not exceed 11 degrees AOA during

approach, landing, or twopoint aerodynamic

braking.

If FLCS warning light remains on:

Land as soon as possible.

Do not exceed 11 degrees AOA during

approach, landing, or twopoint aerodynamic

braking.

CADC Malfunction

A failure of any of the CADC electrical inputs (AOA,

total temperature, altimeter barometric reference,

etc.) or a detected failure internal to the CADC causes

illumination of the CADC caution light. If the CADC

caution light does not reset, systems dependent on

CADC information should be checked for proper

operation.

Retarding the throttle below MIL

while supersonic may induce inlet

buzz which produces severe cockpit

vibration and probable engine stalls.

NOTE

If a CADC malfunction occurs, the FLCC

AOS feedback function may deactivate.

If CADC caution light illuminates:

FLCS RESET switch-RESET.

If CADC caution light goes off:

Check for an ENG MACH FAIL PFL.

If ENG MACH FAIL PFL is still present:

Continue flight and observe throttle limita

tion, if supersonic. Refer to PILOT FAULT

LIST - ENGINE, this section.

If CADC caution light remains on:

AOA-Crosscheck with airspeed.

Use AOA indications with caution.

Land as soon as practical.

Final approach airspeeds:

PW 229

135,

129

136 knots

PW 229

137,

129

138 knots

Add 4 knots/1000 pounds of fuel/store

weights equates to 13 degrees AOA (add 8

knots for 11 degrees AOA).

Servo Malfunction

An initial servo malfunction results in illumination of

the FLCS FAULT caution light and an ISA

LHT/RHT/LF/RF/RUD FAIL PFL for the applicable

ISA. A failure of the second servo in the same ISA

results in a repeat of the PFL. Multiple servo

malfunctions involving more than one ISA cause an

ISA ALL FAIL PFL. Servo failures are reset by

placing the FLCS RESET switch to RESET. No

degradation in flying qualities is expected if the servo

does not reset.
Hydraulic failures or momentary drops in hydraulic

pressure (e.g., wake turbulence encounter, air in

hydraulic system) also illuminate the FLCS FAULT

caution light and cause an ISA ALL FAIL PFL.
1.

Airspeed-400 knots maximum (subsonic).

If hydraulic failure is confirmed:
2.

Go to SINGLE/DUAL HYDRAULIC FAILURE,

this section.

If hydraulic pressures are normal:
3.

FLCS RESET switch-RESET.

If failure indications go off:
4.

Continue normal operation.

If failure indications remain on:
4.

Land as soon as practical.

FLCS Electronic Malfunctions

Only two single electronic failures are reported in

flight. These are a branch power supply failure (BRK

PWR DEGR PFL) and a coil current monitor (CCM)

detected failure (FLCS CCM FAIL PFL). All other

single electronic failures (rate gyro and accelerometer

failures, stick sensor failures, single axis failures, and

single branch failures) are reported 2 minutes after

WOW as an FLCS SNGL FAIL PFL. A momentary,

mild transient might be felt when a single electronic

failure occurs. Even though display of a single failure

is not always provided in flight, a single FLCS failure

can be reset.

T.O. GR1F16CJ1

Change 13111

If a branch fails due to a branch power supply

problem, BRK PWR DEGR PFL is displayed. If power

fails in branch A, B, or C, then one AOA and one air

data input are also failed. This condition is displayed

by FLCS AOA FAIL and FLCS ADC FAIL PFL's in

addition to the BRK PWR DEGR PFL. A single

branch power supply failure may also cause FLCS

dual fail indications if the ADV MODE switch is not

in the depressed position. This dual failure can be

reset as long as the ADV MODE switch is in the

depressed position prior to reset. Anytime BRK PWR

DEGR occurs, FLCS power supply status should be

checked by placing the FLCS PWR TEST switch to

the TEST position. If any one of the four FLCS PWR

indicator lights does not illuminate, then that branch

is not powered and the indicated toe brake in the

indicated channel is inoperative.
If the CCM detects an erroneous output command from

one of the three servo amplifiers which drive the three

ISA servo valves, a backup servo amplifier is energized.

FLCS CCM FAIL PFL is then displayed. An FLCS reset

may bring the tripped amplifier back on line.
If a dual electronic failure occurs (i.e., two pitch rate

gyros, two roll stick sensors, or two power supplies),

the FLCS warning light illuminates and an FLCS

DUAL FAIL PFL occurs. A reset of a dual failure may

be attempted. However, reset is only possible back to

the single failure condition, since the single failure is

latched if it still existed at the time of the second

failure. Branch power status should again be checked

with the FLCS PWR TEST switch.
There is a remote possibility that a series of FLCS

failures during maneuvering on the CAT I/III AOA

limiter can result in centering of and lack of response

from one or both horizontal tails. The series of failures

starts with a FLCS CCM FAIL PFL and can quickly

progress to ISA FAIL PFL's and a FLCS dual failure.

Centering of and loss of horizontal tail response only

occurs in conjunction with FLCS dual electronic fail

indications. This should not be confused with a loss of

control associated with a departure from controlled

flight. If the aircraft suddenly becomes nonrespon

sive in pitch and FLCS DUAL FAIL indications are

present, perform a FLCS reset.
It is possible to receive FLCS dual fail indications

following a single failure of the ADV MODE switch

when attempting/during ATF operations. The dual

redundant switch has two outputs, each of which are

split for use by the fourchannel FLCS. If one side of

the switch fails, the FLCS warning light illuminates

and an FLCS DUAL FAIL PFL occurs. This dual

failure can be reset as long as the ADV MODE switch

is disengaged prior to reset.

LESS

b1q

Vibrations associated with gun firing may

cause either a single failure or a dual failure of a

FLCS accelerometer to be declared. These failure

declarations occur during gun firing because the four

outputs of the accelerometer do not always compare

within present software tolerances.

FLCS SINGLE ELECTRONIC FAILURE

If BRK PWR DEGR or FLCS CCM FAIL PFL occurs:
1.

Establish 1g flight and airspeed less than 400

knots (subsonic).

FLCS RESET switch-RESET.

If failure indications go off:
3.

Continue normal operation.

If failure indications remain on:
3.

FLCS PWR TEST switch-TEST.

Observe FLCS PWR lights and determine

brake and brake channel affected. If branch

A, B, or C FLCS PWR light fails to illuminate,

use a maximum of 11 degrees AOA for

approach, landing, and twopoint aero

dynamic braking.

BRAKES channel switch-Change channels

(if required).

Land as soon as practical.

FLCS DUAL ELECTRONIC FAILURE

If FLCS DUAL FAIL PFL occurs:
1.

Establish 1g flight and airspeed less than 400

knots (subsonic).

ADV MODE switch-Depress.

The ATF NOT ENGAGED caution light may

illuminate shortly after depressing the ADV

MODE switch.

FLCS RESET switch-RESET.

Reset may clear the FLCS warning light;

however, the single failure is still present.

If FLCS warning light goes off and no FLCS PFL's are

present:
4.

Continue normal operation, but do not use

ADV MODE switch.

If FLCS warning light goes off and an FLCS PFL is

still present:
4.

FLCS PWR TEST switch-TEST.

Observe FLCS PWR lights and determine

brake and brake channel affected. If branch

A, B, or C FLCS PWR light fails to illuminate,

use a maximum of 11 degrees AOA for

approach, landing, and twopoint aero

dynamic braking.

approach, landing, and twopoint aero

dynamic braking.

BRAKES channel switch-Change channels

(if required).

Land as soon as possible.

NOTE

No significant flying qualities degrada

tion should occur; however, with an

FLCS dual failure, the FLCS has no

redundancy.

Two minutes after WOW, the FLCS

FAULT caution light illuminates and

an FLCS SNGL FAIL PFL occurs.

FLCS Temperature Malfunction

If sensors in any two branches of the FLCC detect

temperatures in excess of 75

C, the FLCS FAULT

caution light illuminates and the FLCS HOT TEMP

PFL is displayed.

If an FLCS HOT TEMP PFL occurs:

Airspeed-400 knots maximum (subsonic).

Altitude-25,000 feet MSL maximum.

If possible, descend below 15,000 feet MSL.

AIR SOURCE knob-RAM.

With the ECS shut down or the AIR

SOURCE knob in OFF or RAM, the

gsuit does not inflate and PBG is

disabled.

PX III

If AIR SOURCE knob is placed to

OFF or RAM, OBOGS is inoperative.

Activate EOS if OXY LOW warning

light illuminates above 10,000 feet

cockpit altitude.

NOTE

External fuel cannot be transferred in

OFF or RAM. Consider jettisoning

tanks to decrease drag if range is

critical and ECS cannot be turned on

for short periods of time to transfer

fuel.

If failure indications go off:

It may take up to 15 minutes for ramair cooling to

extinguish the light.

Land as soon as practical.

If failure indications remain on:

Land as soon as possible.

Autopilot Malfunctions

If the autopilot fails to receive needed data or AOA

exceeds 15 degrees, the FLCS FAULT caution light

illuminates, the FLCS A/P FAIL PFL is displayed,

and the autopilot automatically disengages. If

engagement is attempted with a failure or degrada

tion, or AOA above 15 degrees the autopilot does not

engage and FLCS A/P FAIL PFL occurs. If ATF is

engaged or if engagement is attempted, this failure

also causes the ATF NOT ENGAGED caution light to

illuminate.

If FLCS A/P FAIL PFL occurs:

Establish 1g flight.

Below 15 degrees AOA.

FLCS RESET switch-RESET.

If PFL clears:

Continue normal operation.

If PFL remains, autopilot cannot be engaged.

The FLCS FAULT caution light and the FLCS A/P

DEGR PFL are displayed during nonTF operations

if the autopilot is engaged but is not providing the

selected function.

The PFL occurs under the following conditions:

Attitude hold modes-After 12 seconds of operation

outside of attitude limits with no stick input.

Roll attitude hold mode-After 12 seconds of

operation with the autopilot roll command at its

maximum authority.

T.O. GR1F16CJ1

Change 13113

Pitch attitude and altitude hold modes-After 5

seconds of operation with the autopilot pitch

command at its maximum authority, no stick

inputs, and aircraft not correcting back to

referenced altitude/attitude.

If FLCS A/P DEGR PFL occurs:

Maneuver aircraft into autopilot envelope.

FLCS RESET switch - RESET.

If PFL clears:

Continue normal operation.

If PFL remains:

3. Disengage autopilot.

DBU ON Warning Light

DBU is entered automatically by detection of a primary

software fault. Such a fault is assumed to exist if power

is lost in three branches, if three processors fail, or if a

threebranch combination of power and processor

failures occur. If automatic DBU engagement occurs,

toe brake operation may be affected.

Due to the simplicity of the DBU, fault tolerance is

reduced and detailed FLCS failure information is

not provided. DBU is intended as a backup mode that

provides a transition to cruise flight and a return to

base capability in the event that a software fault has

been encountered within the FLCC.

To transfer back to primary mode after an automatic

transfer to DBU, the DIGITAL BACKUP switch must

be cycled to BACKUP and then back to OFF. Pitch

transients are possible due to horizontal tail position

changes when the DIGITAL BACKUP switch is

cycled back to OFF. These transients can be

minimized by stabilizing at 1g prior to reselecting

OFF. If ATF was engaged prior to automatic DBU

engagement, a 3g incremental nonrolltowings level

flyup is present. Depressing the paddle switch

interrupts the flyup command. Placing the DIGITAL

BACKUP switch to BACKUP cancels the flyup

command.

If DBU ON warning light illuminates:

Establish 1g flight.

Do not use abrupt control inputs or make

rudder inputs during rolls.

Airspeed-500 knots/0.9 mach maximum.

If possible, slow to 300 knots.

DIGITAL BACKUP switch-Cycle to BACK

UP, then back to OFF.

If DBU ON warning light goes off:

Verify that DBU is no longer present on the FLCS

page of the MFD.

FLCS RESET switch-RESET (if required).

Land as soon as practical.

Do not exceed 500 knots/0.9 mach.

If DBU ON warning light remains on:

DIGITAL BACKUP switch-BACKUP.

Airspeed-500 knots/0.9 mach maximum.

If possible, slow to 300 knots. Avoid abrupt

control inputs. Restrict bank angle changes

to less than 90 degrees.

Controllability-Check.

Lower LG at safe altitude and check handling

qualities at 1113 degrees AOA. A mild

noseup transient of approximately 2 degrees

occurs if LG is lowered below 200 knots.

FLCS PWR TEST switch-TEST.

Observe FLCS PWR lights and determine

status of toe brakes. If branch A, B, or C FLCS

PWR light fails to illuminate, use a maximum

of 11 degrees AOA for approach, landing, and

twopoint aerodynamic braking.

BRAKES channel switch-Change channels (if

required).

Land as soon as possible.

Plan a straightin approach.

TF FAIL Warning Light

The TF FAIL warning light illuminates when a TF

malfunction is detected by the NVP or when SWIM

failures are detected by the FLCS.

If TF FAIL warning light illuminates:

Altitude-As required.

Climb to minimum enroute altitude (MEA) or

depart low altitude environment, if required.

Paddle switch-Depress (if required).

This action interrupts the flyup in ATF or

manual TF (if enabled).

PFLD-Check.

If a SWIM PFL is displayed, the TF

malfunction was detected by one or more

SWIM monitors.
