If errors logged by test #3 are the only complaints against this trunk, then the system technician should check if MFT/Range Extenders are being used. If extenders are present, then there is a good chance that there is excessive loop current, which will cause Test #3 to log errors.

However, all else being normal, these errors should not affect the customer.
