Its not officially broken until you land at the other end after you have pushed.
And with TCAS I wouldn't be surprised after you landed and you did a black aircraft reboot it didn't self heal.
It depends on the aircraft type your flying. If its a retro fit TCAS installation or if its a installed as new and fully integrated into the aircraft data buses. Its not common its "just" the TCAS processor that's failed it usually something else that links into it. 80% of my issues with TCAS failures have been something to do with the rad alt. And failing one of them properly with a CB pull (on being told to by the B2) has unconfused its little brain and its started to work again.
Possibly the best ever response to a question on the internet.
Good job
