A. Energize the FADEC of the engine that has a fault report.
(1) Energize the aircraft electrical circuits
AMM 24-41-00-861-002.
(2) On the ENG section of maintenance panel 50VU:
(a) Release the FADEC GND PWR/1(2) pushbutton switch (the ON legend comes on).
(a) If no problems are found, return the engine to service. Monitor the engine for reoccurring maintenance message.
(5) If the maintenance message comes back (hard fault), go to the Para. Fault Isolation.
4. Fault Isolation(1) Energize the aircraft electrical circuits
AMM 24-41-00-861-002.
(2) On the ENG section of maintenance panel 50VU:
(a) Release the FADEC GND PWR/1(2) pushbutton switch (the ON legend comes on).
NOTE: After the FADEC is energized, wait ten seconds before you start the test. If you do not wait ten seconds, the interactive mode stops the EEC self-test and this can cause spurious faults.
(3) On Multipurpose Control and Display Unit (MCDU) screen, check if the fault is displayed on ground scanning report . NOTE: The EEC has detected the circuits for the engine position discrete on channel B and Engine Interface Unit (EIU) on channel A do not agree. The engine position discretes are configured using hardwired jumpers in the pylon wire harness. The EIU is located in the avionics compartment. The EEC is located on the fan case at the 2 o'clock position.
(4) If the maintenance message does not come back, examine the harnesses and electrical connectors as described in the component and harness intermittent fault isolation procedure (Ref. TSM TASK 71-00-00-810-835). - Refer to the general troubleshooting guidelines for additional troubleshooting information (Ref. TSM TASK 71-00-00-810-834).
- Refer to the component and harness intermittent troubleshooting procedure for guidance troubleshooting intermittent faults (Ref. TSM TASK 71-00-00-810-835).
(a) If no problems are found, return the engine to service. Monitor the engine for reoccurring maintenance message.
(5) If the maintenance message comes back (hard fault), go to the Para. Fault Isolation.
WARNING:
BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU DO WORK ON THE ENGINE AFTER SHUTDOWN. THE ENGINE CAN STAY HOT FOR A LONG TIME. IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THIS WARNING, INJURY CAN OCCUR.
WARNING:
REFER TO THE MSDS FOR ALL MATERIAL USED AND THE MANUFACTURER'S SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL EQUIPMENT USED. IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THIS WARNING, INJURY CAN OCCUR.
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE ELECTRICAL POWER FROM THE EEC BEFORE YOU REMOVE THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS. IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THIS INSTRUCTION, DAMAGE TO THE EEC CAN OCCUR.
