## Discrepancy

DURING LANDING ROLLOUT, F/A NOTED SMOKE BRIEFLY EMITTING FROM VENTILATION SYSTEM OVERHEAD ROW 4 - 7 ON RT.  F/E NOTED A HIGH BRAKE TEMP ON NR 5 WHEEL.  PASSENGERS WERE CONCURRENTLY RELOCATED TO ZONES B & C.  THE APPARENT SMOKE WAS LATER DISCRIBED AS FOGGY HAZE WHICH QUICKLY DISSIPATED. POST FLIGHT, MECHANICS FOUND NR 5 BRAKE TEMPERATURE SENSOR INDICATING ERRONEOUSLY HIGH DUE TO BENT PINS / SHORT CIRCUIT IN AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH NO EVIDENCE OF OVERHEATING OR MALFUNCTION OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM.  THE PRESUMPTIVE CAUSE OF THE SMOKE WAS CONDENSATION OF WATER VAPOR.
