What was found

(CAN) WHILE CHANGING NR3 BRAKE, MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL NOTICED A HAIRLINE CRACK ON THE FACE ON THE TRANSDUCER. AFTER REMOVING THE TRANSDUCER, THE TECHNICIAN SAW THAT THE CRACK WAS EXTENDING ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE TRANSDUCER HOUSING. THE TRANSDUCER WAS REPLACED AND SYSTEM WAS TESTED SERVICEABLE. NOTE: IN THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS WE HAVE HAD A INTERMITTENT SNAG, THE ANTI SKID LIGHT WOULD COME ON.
