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 Electronic Engine Control (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 channel A has detected the Air Data and Inertial Reference Unit (ADIRU) 1 Bus circuit has failed. The ADIRU 1 is located in the avionics compartment. The EEC is located on the fan case at the 2 o'clock position.
- 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).
NOTE: This procedure has checks for the engine harness portion of the ADIRU 1 Bus circuit. Check the remainder of the ADIRU 1 Bus circuit in the airframe harnesses:
(4) If the maintenance message does not come back, examine the harness and electrical connectors as described in the component and harness intermittent fault isolation procedure (Ref. TSM TASK 71-00-00-810-835). - For fault on ENG 1, refer to AWM 732525.
- For fault on ENG 2, refer to AWM 732524.
(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.
Subtask 73-00-00-810-295-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL A. If there is confirmation of the fault:
(1) Open the fan cowl doors AMM 71-13-00-010-802.
(2) Examine the WF02 (4218KS) harness, connector P1 (4000KS-P1) - EEC (4000KS) and connector P402 (402VC-A) - Pylon junction box, for problems which are possible between the EEC (4000KS) and the pylon junction box.
(a) Inspect for harness damage.
(b) Inspect for loose or damaged connectors.
1 Replace the HARNESS-FAN, WF02 [4218KS] AMM 73-21-62-000-802 and AMM 73-21-62-400-802.
2 Do the test given in Para. 3.
(3) If no problems are found with the harness or the fault continues, use a PLIERS - JAWED, SOFT to disconnect the electrical connector P1 (4000KS-P1) from the EEC (4000KS) and connector P402 (402VC-A) from the pylon junction box.
(a) Examine the pins and sockets (contacts) for alignment and damage. Look for contacts pushed rearward into the connector face. Replace parts as necessary.
(b) Clean the contacts with contact cleaner and clean cloth per SPOP 6. Blow dry with air (at less than 30 psi) across connector face AMM 70-70-00-910-803.
(c) Reconnect the electrical connector P1 (4000KS-P1) to the EEC (4000KS) and connector P402 (402VC-A) to the pylon junction box.
(d) Do the test given in Para. 3.
(4) If the fault continues:

1 Wire-to-wire shorts
2 Shorts to ground
3 Continuity (less than 5 ohms resistance).
(b) If a problem is found with the harness or connectors:
1 Replace the HARNESS-FAN, WF02 [4218KS] AMM 73-21-62-000-802 and AMM 73-21-62-400-802.
