1. Remove the pressure control valve.
2. Attach an air hose to the SST.




3. Set the SST to port A and plug port B as shown in the figure.
4. Verify that there is airflow from port D when pressure of +0.98 kPa {+7.4 mmHg, +0.29 in.Hg} is applied to port A.
5. If there is no airflow, replace the pressure control valve.




6. Set the SST to port B, C and plug port A as shown in the figure.
7. Verify that there is airflow from port D when pressure of +0.98 kPa {+7.4 mmHg, +0.29 in.Hg} is applied to port B, C.
8. If there is no airflow, replace the pressure control valve.
