3. Fault Confirmation
Subtask 24-41-00-740-054-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. Test
   (1) Do the BITE test of the GAPCU AMM 24-41-00-740-002.
4. Fault Isolation
Subtask 24-41-00-810-061-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. If the BITE test gives the maintenance message GAPCU (24XG)/ EXT PWR AUX RELAY (5XG):
  • do a check of the coil and contacts of the EPC auxiliary control relay (5XG) ASM 242302 for correct electrical continuity between:
    . pins X1 and X2 (coil resistance)
    . pins D2 and D3 (normally closed)
    . pins D2 and D1 (normally open)
    . pins C2 and C3 (normally closed)
    . pins C2 and C1 (normally open).
   (1) If there is no continuity:
  • replace the RELAY-EPC AUX CTL [5XG] .
   (2) If there is continuity:
  • do a check of the wiring of the EPC control circuit ASM 242302 for an open circuit or a short to ground between:
    . pin A/X2 of the EPC auxiliary control relay (5XG) and pin B/10A of the GAPCU
    . pin A/X1 of the EPC auxiliary control relay and pin 2 of the ELEC/EXT PWR/CTL circuit breaker (11XG).
     (a) If the wiring is not correct:
  • repair or replace as necessary.
     (b) If the wiring is correct
Subtask 24-41-00-740-055-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
B. Do the test given in Para. 3.
