D. Aircraft Maintenance Configuration
(1) Do the EIS start procedure (upper ECAM DU and lower ECAM DU only)
(Ref. AMM TASK 31-60-00-860-001).
(2) On the lower ECAM Display Unit (DU), get the HYD page. Make sure that the Green (Yellow) pressure is zero.
(3) On the ENG section of maintenance panel 50VU:
Subtask 78-31-00-865-065-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL (1) Do the EIS start procedure (upper ECAM DU and lower ECAM DU only)
(Ref. AMM TASK 31-60-00-860-001).
(2) On the lower ECAM Display Unit (DU), get the HYD page. Make sure that the Green (Yellow) pressure is zero.
(3) On the ENG section of maintenance panel 50VU:
- Release the FADEC GND PWR/1(2) pushbutton switch (on the pushbutton switch, the ON legend comes on).
NOTE: After the FADEC is energized, wait 10 seconds before you start the test. If you do not wait 10 seconds, the interactive mode stops the EEC self-test and this can cause unwanted faults.
- Release the HYD/LEAK MEASUREMENT VALVES/B/G/Y pushbutton switches (on the pushbutton switch the OFF legend comes on).
- Make sure that the SEC1, SEC2 and SEC3 pushbutton switches are pushed (on the pushbutton switch, the OFF legend is off).
- Make sure that the ENG 1(2) FIRE pushbutton switch is in the normal position and guarded.
E. Make sure that this(these) circuit breaker(s) is(are) closed:

| 7.Push the line key adjacent to the CONFIRM START OF TEST indication. | The test instruction page comes into view. |
| 8.Move the throttle control lever to the reverse idle position in less than 50 seconds. | On the MCDU, the THRUST TEST IN PROGRESS page comes into view until the thrust reversers are fully deployed or until a period of 10 seconds. On the upper ECAM DU, the REV indication on the N1 indicator of the engine 1(2) is amber when the thrust reverser operates. When the thrust reversers are fully deployed, on the MCDU, the continu TEST page comes into view. On the upper ECAM DU, the REV indication on the N1 indicator of the engine 1(2) becomes green. NOTE: If after a period of 10 seconds, the thrust reverser is not fully deployed, the TEST FAILURE page comes into view. |
| 9.Move the throttle control lever to the forward idle position in less than 50 seconds. | On the MCDU, the TEST IN PROGRESS page comes into view until the thrust reversers are fully stowed and locked or until a period of 25 seconds. On the upper ECAM DU, the REV indication on the N1 indicator of the engine 1(2) is amber when the thrust reverser operates. When the thrust reversers are fully stowed and locked, on the MCDU, the TEST OK page comes into view if no fault is found. On the upper ECAM DU, the REV indication on the N1 indicator of the engine 1(2) disappears when the thrust reversers are fully stowed. NOTE: If after a period of 25 seconds the thrust reverser is not fully stowed and locked, the TEST FAILURE page comes into view. |
10.If the bleeding of the thrust reverser system is not necessary, go to the step that follows. If the bleeding of the thrust reverser system is necessary:
NOTE: Do up to ten deploy-stow cycles or until smooth operation is observed. | The INITIAL CONDITION page 2 comes into view. |
| 11.Push the line key adjacent to the RETURN indication. | The THRUST REVERSER CYCLING TEST CLOSE UP page comes into view. |
| 12.Push the line key adjacent to the RETURN indication until you get the CFDS menu. | The CFDS menu comes into view. |
| 13.Push the MCDU MENU key. | The MCDU menu comes into view. |
NOTE: The table below shows maintenance and ECAM messages which may occasionally be set for reasons which are not necessary for the normal corrective action. The recommended actions for these messages must be done to prevent delays because of corrective actions that are incorrect or not necessary.
