## Discrepancy

CREW HAD SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE VENTS ON THE LEFT SIDE WHERE THE PIC SITS. THE CREW SHUT OFF THE ACS AND THE SMOKE STOPPED. THEY HAD 2 CAS MESSAGES COME ON, PITOT HEAD STRUT HTR STBY AND PITOT STRUT HTR STBY WITH THE ASSOCIATED ECBS TRIPPED.  ECB TRIP IN FLIGHT. THE CREW DECIDED TO DIVERT FROM KRME TO KALB. THE CREW DID NOT DECLARE AN EMERGENCY.  TECHNICIANS REPLACED THE STANDBY PITOT STATIC PROBE WITH A NEW PROBE IAW AMM PC24-A-E34-11-0003-00A-720A-A AND THE PROBE PLUG CONNECTOR IAW WDM PC24-A-E30-39-2310-00A-051A-A.
