3. Fault Confirmation
Subtask 24-23-00-740-058-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. Test
   (1) Do the trouble shooting for all CFDS messages related to the Chapter 49 or to the ECB that can come into view with the CFDS message GEN APU (8XS)/ GAPCU (24XG)/ APU CTL RLY (6KD) (fault code 117, AGEN UF TRIP keyword).
   (2) If no Chapter 49 or ECB-related CFDS messages come into view, or if the fault continues after the troubleshooting:
     (a) If the BITE test gives the message TEST FAILED:
  • do the trouble shooting given in Para 4.A.
     (b) If the BITE test gives the message TEST PASSED:
  • do the trouble shooting given in Para 4.B.
4. Fault Isolation
Subtask 24-23-00-810-072-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. If the BITE test gives the message TEST FAILED:
  • push the line key adjacent to the TEST FAILED message.
   (1) If the maintenance message GAPCU (24XG) comes into view:
Subtask 24-23-00-810-069-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
B. If the BITE test gives the message TEST PASSED:
   (1) If the fault continues:
  • Do a check of the status of the circuit breaker (23XS).
     (a) If the circuit breaker is open:
       1 If the fault continues:
  • Replace the C/B-APU GEN/EGIU2/115VAC [23XS] .
     (b) If the circuit breaker is closed:
  • Do a check of the wiring and the contact of the APU ready circuit ASM 496101 and ASM 242302 for a short to 28VDC between:
    . pin B/6J of the ECB (59KD) and pin A/X1 of the APU AVAIL relay (6KD)
    . pin A/7C of the GAPCU and pin A/A1 of the APU AVAIL relay
    . pins A/A1 and A/A2 of the APU AVAIL relay (normally open).
     (c) If the wiring or contact are not correct:
  • Repair or replace the wiring as necessary
  • Replace the RELAY-APU AVAIL [6KD] as necessary.
     (d) If the wiring or contact are correct:
Subtask 24-23-00-740-059-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
C. Do the test given in Para. 3.
