A. If the fault confirmation gives:
(a) If the system pressure increases:
1 Stop the dry-motoring of the right (No. 2) engine.
2 Do a check of the internal leakage of the Yellow hydraulic system AMM 29-00-00-280-003 and do the necessary actions.
(b) If the system pressure does not increase:
1 Pressurize the Yellow hydraulic system with the electric pump AMM 29-24-00-863-001.
2 Look for the system pressure indication on the lower ECAM DU.
(c) If the system pressure increases to more than 2750 psi:
1 Depressurize the Yellow hydraulic system AMM 29-24-00-864-001.
2 Clean the Solenoid Valve of the PUMP VARIABLE DTS [3030GD] AMM 29-13-51-100-801.
