## Discrepancy

SEA - FLIGHT 2280 - RECEIVED A DC BUS CAUTION ALONG WITH MESSAGES FOR THE NR 2 DC GENERATOR, MAIN BATTERY, ANTI-SKID, AND RUDDER CONTROL LIGHT WAS ABLE TO RESET BUS PER THE CHECKLIST.  MAINTENANCE TRIED TO PERFORM A GROUND RUN TO CONFIRM BUT FOUND THAT THE NR 2 ENGINE WOULD NOT ROTATE OR LIGHT OFF.  REPLACED THE NR 2 DC STARTER GENERATOR.  OPERATIONAL CHECKS GOOD.  AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
