Simulator Drawbridge Failing to Raise on Motion Initiation

Verify the symptom by observing the Motion Diagnostic Screen or Maintenance GUI at the instructor station. The system is failing to transition to an operational state if the simulator prevents motion initiation while the drawbridge remains in the lowered position. Ensure no physical obstructions are present, then confirm the software status bit for 'Bridge Stowed' remains in a 'False' or 'Bridge Down' state despite bridge activation commands.
