4. Fault Isolation
Subtask 24-41-00-810-088-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. If it is not possible to connect the external power source to the aircraft electrical network and if the fault symptom is identified by the CFDS message WRG:EXT PWR PIN E INTERLOCK/ GAPCU (24XG):
  • do a check of the wiring of the external power interlock-control for an open circuit or a short circuit between the pin E and the cord plug of the external power source.
   (1) If the wiring is not correct:
  • repair or replace as necessary.
   (2) If the wiring is correct:
  • do a check of the wiring of the interlock control ASM 244101 for an open circuit, a short circuit or a short to ground between pin E of the external power receptacle (20XG) and pin B/11E of the GAPCU.
     (a) If the wiring is not correct:
  • repair or replace as necessary.
     (b) If the wiring is correct:
Subtask 24-41-00-860-064-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
B. Do this procedure to make sure that the system operates correctly:
   (1) Energize the Aircraft Electrical Circuits from the external power AMM 24-41-00-861-002.
   (2) De-energize the aircraft electrical circuits from the external power AMM 24-41-00-862-002.
