3. Fault Confirmation
Subtask 49-00-00-710-291-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. Do the operational test of the APU AMM 49-00-00-710-008.
NOTE: Before you start the operational test of the APU, make sure that:
  • the battery charge limiters 1PB1 and 1PB2 are serviceable AMM 24-38-00-710-001 or AMM 24-38-00-710-001,
  • the BAT 1 and 2 pushbutton switches are pushed (the FAULT and OFF legends areoff). If the BAT 1 and 2 pushbutton switches are selected OFF , the start contactors are disconnected from the power supply,
  • the Ram Air Turbine is in the retracted position.
4. Fault Isolation
Subtask 49-00-00-810-229-B ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. If an APU auto shutdown occurs during the APU start sequence and the APU SHUTDOWNS report gives the maintenance message:


NO ACCELERATION - CONTACTOR 5KA OR ECB 59KD:


  • do a check for short to ground of the aircraft wiring from the ECB (59KD) AC/1 to the START CONTACTOR (5KA) B/3 ASM 494201 ESPM 2052210.
   (1) If there is a short to ground:
  • repair the aircraft wiring from the ECB (59KD) AC/1 to the MAIN START CONTACTOR (5KA) B/3 ASM 494201 ESPM 2053210.
     (a) If there is no short to ground:
     (b) If the fault continues:
Subtask 49-00-00-710-292-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
B. Do the test given in Para. 3.
