APU AUTO SHUTDOWN - INLET OVERHEAT, APU Inlet Temperature higher than Limit (131-9(A))


TASK 49-00-81-810-843-A
APU AUTO SHUTDOWN - INLET OVERHEAT, APU Inlet Temperature higher than Limit (131-9(A))


1. Possible Causes
  • NO LRU FAULT DETECTED
  • blockage of the APU inlet
  • fire of the APU inlet
  • damage/contamination of the electrical connector P6
  • aircraft wiring
  • APU INLET TEMPERATURE SENSOR (P6)
  • ELECTRONIC CONTROL BOX [59KD]
  • APU [4005KM]
  • APU INLET TEMPERATURE SENSOR (8010KM).

3. Fault Confirmation
Subtask 49-00-81-710-176-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 FAULT DETECTED

   (4) Start the APU and apply Bleed Air for 20 seconds, minimum AMM 49-00-00-860-008.
4. Fault Isolation

A. If an APU auto shutdown occurs during the APU operation and the APU SHUTDOWN report gives the maintenance message:

INLET OVERHEAT
CHECK APU INLET

associated with Fault Code Numbers (FCN) 213

  • do a check for blockage of the APU inlet .
   (1) If the fault continues:
  • do a check for a fire of the APU inlet :
    - do a check of the inlet plenum for fire damage.
    - do a check of the APU inlet duct through the inlet flap for fire damage.
     (a) If there are signs of fire damage:
     (b) If there are no signs of fire damage:
  • do a check for damage/contamination of the electrical connector P6 of the APU INLET TEMPERATURE SENSOR (P6).
       1 If the electrical connector P6 is damaged/contaminated:
  • do a repair/cleaning.
       2 If the electrical connector is OK:
  • disconnect the electrical connector P6
  • put a JUMPER-WIRE across the sockets A and B of the electrical connector P6.
  • use a MULTIMETER - STANDARD to do a resistance check of the aircraft wiring across the ECB (59KD) AB/H4 to ECB (59KD) AB/H3.
         a If the resictance value is > 10 Ohms:
  • replace the aircraft wiring.
         b If the fault continues:
         c If the fault continues:
