Part: THERMAL SWITCH — ERRATIC (ZONE 100) · airframe 13,188 hrs · 10,152 cycles
AT 40000 FEET THE EMERGENCY PRESSURIZATION CAME ON FULL WITH THE SWITCH OFF. CREW IMMEDIATELY CHECKED THE CABIN ALTITUDE AND FOR ANY RATE OF DESCENT OF THE PRESSURIZATION. ALL LOOKED STABLE, THEN THE EMERG PRESS ON LIGHT CAME ON WITH A SLIGHT SMELL OF SMOKE IN THE CABIN. PILOT DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND ASKED FOR AN EMERGENCY DESCENT AND ATC GAVE ME 25000. DURING THE DESCENT THE CABIN DESCENDED NORMALLY. WE ACCOMPLISHED THE EMERGENCY CHECKLIST AND THE SYSTEM RESET.
