3. Fault Confirmation
Subtask 49-00-81-710-148-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. Read-out of ECB Trouble-Shooting Data
   (1) Put the APU MASTER SW to the ON position.
   (2) Get access to the APU SHUTDOWN report.
   (3) Push the '>' adjacent to LRU DATA:
  • the MCDU menu shows
    NO LRU DETECTED

   (4) Start the APU and apply Bleed Air for 20 seconds, minimum AMM 49-00-00-860-008.
4. Fault Isolation
Subtask 49-00-81-810-107-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. If an APU auto shutdown occurs during the APU operation and the APU SHUTDOWN report gives the maintenance message:

NO ACCELERATION
STARTERMOTOR (8KA)/APU ROTATION

associated with Fault Code Numbers (FCN) 212

   (1) If the fault continues:
  • Do a check for APU internal damage .
    - Do a check for contamination of the MAGNETIC-DRAIN PLUG AMM 49-91-42-200-004.
NOTE: If the MAGNETIC-DRAIN PLUG is not contaminated, continue without starting the APU.
  • .
    - Remove the end cap of the STARTER MOTOR (8KA).
    - Use a WRENCH - SOCKET and a WRENCH - RATCHET on the shaft of the STARTER MOTOR (8KA) to turn the APU counterclockwise (in the direction of the arrow on the housing).
     (a) If the APU rotates freely:
       1 If the fault continues:
       2 If the fault continues:
       3 If the fault continues:
     (b) If the APU does not rotate freely:
  • Replace the APU (4005KM)
Subtask 49-00-81-810-107-B ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. If an APU auto shutdown occurs during the APU operation and the APU SHUTDOWN report gives the maintenance message:

NO ACCELERATION
STARTERMOTOR (8KA)/APU ROTATION

associated with Fault Code Numbers (FCN) 212

   (1) If the fault continues:
  • Do a check for APU internal damage .
    - Do a check for contamination of the MAGNETIC-DRAIN PLUG (8077KM) AMM 49-91-42-200-004.
NOTE: If the MAGNETIC-DRAIN PLUG is not contaminated, continue without starting the APU.
  • .
    - Remove the end cap of the STARTER MOTOR (8KA).
    - Use a WRENCH - SOCKET and a WRENCH - RATCHET on the shaft of the STARTER MOTOR (8KA) to turn the APU counterclockwise (in the direction of the arrow on the housing).
     (a) If the APU rotates freely:
       1 If the fault continues:
       2 If the fault continues:
       3 If the fault continues:
     (b) If the APU does not rotate freely:
  • Replace the APU (4005KM)
