Unsafe Condition

The Deice Pressure Regulator has vented too much hot air into the forward compartment, damaging the oxygen cylinder ON/OFF cable, the Ram-Air Scoop cable, and the ECS firewall shut-off valve cable. If incorrectly adjusted or defective, the Deice Pressure Regulator can vent hot air into the forward compartment, causing overheating and failures of components inside, which could result in potential loss of several functions essential for safe flight.
