G1000 Equipment Configuration & Testing
This section provides procedures to be followed after a piece of G1000 equipment is replaced. At the
beginning of each LRU section, instructions are given to guide the technician for various
removal/replacement scenarios. These instructions define necessary procedures to be followed for
situations where original equipment was reinstalled as well as for situations where new equipment (new
serial number) is installed.
CAUTION
Remove Supplemental Database Cards from the lower slot of all displays before loading
software into any unit. Not removing the cards may corrupt them. Replacing corrupted
database cards are not covered under warranty.
NOTE
Garmin recommends the use of SanDisk or Toshiba brand SD cards to load G1000
software and configuration files. If another brand of card is used, and software loading
problems occur, replace the card with a SanDisk or Toshiba brand card and reattempt the
software load.
WARNING
Connect a ground power unit to the aircraft for software loading. Do not rely on only the
aircraft batteries to prevent loss of power during the software loading process. DO NOT
ALLOW POWER TO BE REMOVED FROM THE SYSTEM WHEN LOADING
SOFTWARE! Remove power only when told to do so by the following procedure. As a
general rule all displays should be in the same mode (configuration or normal), unless
instructed differently.

GDU 1040A/1500 MFD & PFD
Original Display Reinstalled
If the removed display(s) are re-installed in their original positions, no software or configuration loading
is required. This does not include units that were returned for repair as their software and configuration
files are deleted during the repair testing process. Continue to the PFD/MFD Test procedure.
Original PFD Displays Installed in Opposite Locations for Troubleshooting
If the PFD 1 and PFD 2 are installed in opposite positions, no software or configuration loading is
required. Continue to the PFD/MFD Test procedure.
New Repair or Exchange Display(s) Installed
If a new, repaired or exchange GDU 1040A or GDU 1500 is installed, the correct software and
configuration files must be loaded to the unit. See Section 3.9. If ChartView or TAWS were previously
installed, these must be reactivated. See Sections 3.28 and 3.29, respectively. If any other options were
previously installed, these must also be reactivated per Section 3.9. Then continue to the PFD/MFD Test
procedure.
