4. Fault Isolation
Subtask 49-00-81-810-186-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. Do the subsequent checks

   (1) If the fault continues:
     (a) Do a check of the APU for too much drag:

  • Remove the COOLING FAN/PMG ASSY (8053KM) AMM 49-52-53-000-001.
  • Use a socket adapter to manually turn the drive shaft of the COOLING FAN/PMG ASSY (8053KM), in a clockwise direction only.
NOTE: Be careful when turning the impeller.
       1 If the cooling fan does not rotate easily, do a check of the Idle Gear:

       2 If the APU rotors, bearings and gears make an inusual noise or if there is too much drag:

   (2) If the fault continues:
     (a) Do a check and make sure that the STARTER CLUTCH (8033KM) operates correctly :

  • Remove the MOTOR-STARTER [8KA] AMM 49-42-51-000-007.
  • Turn the STARTER CLUTCH (8033KM) clockwise (clutch disengagement), with your hand.
NOTE: The starter motor clutch disengages correctly if:
  • it disengages immediately,
  • it does not rub,
  • it does not make an inusual noise.
  • Turn the STARTER CLUTCH (8033KM) counter clockwise (clutch engagement), with your hand.
NOTE: The starter motor clutch engages correctly if:
  • it engages immediately,
  • it does not rub,
  • it does not make an inusual noise.
       1 If the starter motor clutch engages/disengages correctly:

       2 If the starter motor clutch does not engage/disengage correctly:

     (b) Install the inlet duct of the cooling fan AMM 49-52-53-400-001.
   (3) If the fault continues:

     (a) Replace the FUEL CONTROL UNIT (8022KM) AMM 49-32-11-000-002 and AMM 49-32-11-400-002.
   (4) If the fault continues:

     (a) Replace the PILOT NOZZLES AMM 49-31-41-000-002 and AMM 49-31-41-400-002.
   (5) If the fault continues:

     (a) Replace the FUEL FLOW DIVIDER (8024KM) AMM 49-32-12-000-002 and AMM 49-32-12-400-002.
   (6) If the fault continues:

     (a) Replace the APU [4005KM] AMM 49-11-11-000-003 and AMM 49-11-11-400-003.
