3. Fault Confirmation
Subtask 49-00-81-710-052-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 LAST LEG/PREVIOUS LEG report.
   (3) Push the '>' adjacent to the related CFDS failure message:
  • the MCDU menu shows
    PRESS XDCR WIRING SHORT OR ECB INTERNAL FAILURE
   (4) Get access to the APU GND SCANNING menu.
4. Fault Isolation
Subtask 49-00-81-810-052-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. If the APU GND SCANNING menu gives the maintenance message:

CHECK PRESSURE XDCR WIRING/ECB (59KD)

associated with Fault Code Number (FCN) 31

  • disconnect the electrical connector P2 at the APU firewall.
    Use a MULTIMETER - STANDARD to do a resistance check across pin 20 and pin 21 of the electrical connector P2.
   (1) If the resistance is < 100 Ohms:
  • disconnect the electrical connector P22 of the APU INLET PRESSURE TRANSDUCER (P22).
    Do a resistance check across pin 20 and pin 21 of the electrical connector P2 again.
     (a) If the resistance is > 160 Ohms:
     (b) If the resistance is < 160 Ohms:
  • disconnect the electrical connector P23 of the TOTAL PRESSURE TRANSDUCER (P23).
    Do a resistance check across pin 20 and pin 21 of the electrical connector P2 again.
       1 If the resistance is > 160 Ohms:
       2 If the resistance is < 160 Ohms:
  • disconnect the electrical connector P24 of the DELTA PRESSURE TRANSDUCER (P24).
    Do a resistance check across pin 20 and pin 21 of the electrical connector P2 again.
         a If the resistance is > 160 Ohms:
         b If the resistance is < 160 Ohms:
   (2) If the resistance is > 100 Ohms:
  • do a check and repair of the aircraft wiring between ECB (59KD) AB/A1,A4 and electrical connector P2/20,21 ASM 496104.
     (a) If the fault continues:
Subtask 49-00-81-810-052-B ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. If the APU GND SCANNING menu gives the maintenance message:

CHECK PRESSURE XDCR WIRING (8001KM) / ECB (59KD)

associated with Fault Code Number (FCN) 31

  • disconnect the electrical connector P2 at the APU firewall.
    Use a MULTIMETER - STANDARD to do a resistance check across pin 20 and pin 21 of the electrical connector P2.
   (1) If the resistance is < 100 Ohms:
  • disconnect the electrical connector P22 of the APU INLET PRESSURE TRANSDUCER (8048KM).
    Do a resistance check across pin 20 and pin 21 of the electrical connector P2 again.
     (a) If the resistance is > 160 Ohms:
     (b) If the resistance is < 160 Ohms:
  • disconnect the electrical connector P23 of the TOTAL PRESSURE TRANSDUCER (8044KM).
    Do a resistance check across pin 20 and pin 21 of the electrical connector P2 again.
       1 If the resistance is > 160 Ohms:
       2 If the resistance is < 160 Ohms:
  • disconnect the electrical connector P24 of the DELTA PRESSURE TRANSDUCER (8043KM).
    Do a resistance check across pin 20 and pin 21 of the electrical connector P2 again.
         a If the resistance is > 160 Ohms:
         b If the resistance is < 160 Ohms:
   (2) If the resistance is > 100 Ohms:
  • do a check and repair of the aircraft wiring between ECB (59KD) AB/A1,A4 and electrical connector P2/20,21 ASM 496104.
     (a) If the fault continues:
Subtask 49-00-81-710-053-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
B. Do a check of the APU GND SCANNING menu to verify the fault is not present.
