A. Test
Do the operational test of the taxi and take off light AMM 33-46-00-710-001.
4. Fault IsolationDo the operational test of the taxi and take off light AMM 33-46-00-710-001.
NOTE: Do this test for the taxi light only.
Subtask 33-46-00-810-050-A
A. If during the operational test when you set the EXT LT/NOSE switch to the TAXI position, the taxi light does not operate correctly:
1 For GLS LEDs Light Unit technology:
- Replace LT-TAXI [8LR] AMM 33-46-12-000-001 and AMM 33-46-12-400-001.
2 For ECE Light unit with incandescent lamp technology or ECE Light unit and Honeywell Light unit with halogen lamp technology:
a Remove the Lamp from the taxi light (8LR) AMM 33-46-12-960-001.
b Do a check for 28VAC at the lamp socket.
* If there is 28VAC at the lamp socket:
** For ECE Taxi Light with incandescent lamp technology:
. Replace the Lamp of the taxi light (8LR) AMM 33-46-12-960-001.
** For ECE Taxi Light and Honeywell Taxi Light with halogen lamp technology:
. Replace the Halogen Bulb of the taxi light (8LR) AMM 33-46-12-960-002.
* If there is no 28VAC at the lamp socket :
Subtask 33-46-00-710-051-A NOTE: For the GLS LEDs technology, if there are more than four LEDs that do not come on, Airbus does not make sure that sufficient lighting or a minimum of the same as obtained with the sealed beam lights will come on.
- Do a check of the taxi and take off/taxi exterior-light lighting circuit-breaker (1LR) status.
- Do a check for 115VAC at pin A/2 of the taxi-light power-supply relay (6LR).
- Do a check for 28VDC at pin A/X of the taxi-light power-supply relay (6LR).
- Replace
SW-EXT LT/NOSE (4LR) AIPC 334608.
- Do a check of the wiring ASM 334601 between:
. Pin 2A of the EXT LT/NOSE switch (4LR) and pin A/X of the taxi-light power-supply relay (6LR)
. Pin AB/11K of the LGCIU 2 (5GA2) and pin A/Z of the taxi-light power-supply relay (6LR).
- Repair the wiring .
- Do a check and repair the wiring from pin 1A of the EXT LT/NOSE switch (4LR) to the first terminal block ASM 334601.
- Replace
RELAY-PWR SPLY, TAXI LT (6LR) AIPC 334608.
- Do a check of the wiring between pin A/1 of the taxi-light power-supply relay (6LR) and the Taxi and take off/taxi exterior-light lighting circuit-breaker (1LR) ASM 334601.
- Repair the wiring .
- Replace C/B-LIGHTING/EXT LT/TAXI AND TAKE OFF/TAXI [1LR] .
1 For GLS LEDs Light Unit technology:
- Replace LT-TAXI [8LR] AMM 33-46-12-000-001 and AMM 33-46-12-400-001.
2 For ECE Light unit with incandescent lamp technology or ECE Light unit and Honeywell Light unit with halogen lamp technology:
a Remove the Lamp from the taxi light (8LR) AMM 33-46-12-960-001.
b Do a check for 28VAC at the lamp socket.
* If there is 28VAC at the lamp socket:
** For ECE Taxi Light with incandescent lamp technology:
. Replace the Lamp of the taxi light (8LR) AMM 33-46-12-960-001.
** For ECE Taxi Light and Honeywell Taxi Light with halogen lamp technology:
. Replace the Halogen Bulb of the taxi light (8LR) AMM 33-46-12-960-002.
* If there is no 28VAC at the lamp socket :
- Replace LT-TAXI [8LR] AMM 33-46-12-000-001 and AMM 33-46-12-400-001.
- Do a check and repair the wiring ASM 334601 between:
. Pin A/A of the taxi light (8LR) and pin A/2 of taxi-light power-supply relay (6LR)
. Pin A/B of taxi light (8LR) and the ground.
- Do the procedure (Ref. TSM TASK 24-00-00-810-803).
- Replace C/B-LIGHTING/EXT LT/TAXI AND TAKE OFF/TAXI [1LR] .
B. Do the test given in Para. 3.
