1 If damage is found, repair or replace as necessary.
2 Do a cleaning of the connectors using a BRUSH - BRISTLED with stoddard solvent (Material No.CP2011) AMM 73-21-50-210-001.
(c) Do the electrical test of the No. 1 bearing vibration sensor (4002EV) AMM 77-31-10-720-002.
1 If the resistance values are out of the limits, replace the SENSOR-NO. 1 BRG VIB [4002EV] at the next shop maintenance opportunity.
1 Disconnect the aircraft harness from the vibration sensor. If necessary, use PLIERS - NOSE, SOFT, LONG.
2 Measure the insulation resistance with a Megohmeter 0-100 Megohms, U= 50 VDC between:
. Pins 1 and 2
. Pins 1 and 3
. Pin 2 and connector body
. Pin 3 and connector body.
3 The insulation resistance is expected to be greater than 20 Megohms. If any of these measurements are less than 20 Megohms, the sensor is not serviceable.
4 If the TRF vibration sensor is not serviceable, it must be replaced AMM 77-31-30-000-001 and AMM 77-31-30-400-001.
(e) If the check (a), (b) and (c) are correct:
a If fan blade damage or mid-span shroud shingling, repair as necessary.
b If LPT Stage 4 blades shingling, use procedure AMM 72-54-00-290-002.
(b) Do a check and an inspection of the accessories and QEC components. This includes the check and inspection of:
(c) If the checks (a) and (b) are correct:
Subtask 77-00-00-810-120-B ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL NOTE: Trouble Shooting is recommended at next maintenance opportunity not interfering with Revenue Service operation.
(1) do the following checks if no aircraft structure vibration/rumble was reported by the crew. NOTE: If momentary vibration on ECAM is greater than 4 units but in order of less than 1 minute, no maintenance action is required provided indication is no associated with aircraft vibration felt by the crew and the indication did not repeat during the flight or following flights.
(a) Do a check of the - The No. 1 vibration sensor (4002EV) to the EVMU (2EV)
- The TRF vibration sensor (4003EV) to the EVMU (2EV).

NOTE: During descent or approach in icing conditions, ice may build up on the fan blade and spinner cone and consequently lead to increase the fan vibration level on the engine(s). In this case, no maintenance action is required.
(a) Do a check of the fan blades AMM 72-21-00-210-025 and LPT Stage 4 blades for shingling or damage. NOTE: A black light inspection of the fan blades can help find soft body impact. Refer to CFMI SPM 70-00-06-800-007.
1 If the check is not correct: a If fan blade damage or mid-span shroud shingling, repair as necessary.
b If LPT Stage 4 blades shingling, use procedure AMM 72-54-00-290-002.

- the accessory gearbox mounts
- the links and brackets of the accessories to make sure they are not loose or broken
- the cowling brackets, hinges and rigging
- the pneumatic system for correct condition and rigging.
(c) If the checks (a) and (b) are correct:
- do a Cold Trim Balance per specific procedure "Fan Trim Balance" AMM 71-00-00-750-001.
- do a relubrication of the fan blades mid-span shrouds and dovetails AMM 72-21-00-210-004.
