B. Test
(1) Do the operational test of the thrust reverser system (2A and 2B) (MENU mode test) AMM 78-31-00-710-040. Make sure that the hydraulic pressure is correct during the test. The pressure must not drop below the advisory threshold.

A. This fault message is generated if the ECU detects no pressurization of the thrust reverser HCU after a deploy command of the thrust reverser. This indicates either a thrust reverser isolation valve failure to open or a HCU failure. The ECU cannot determine which one of the two items of equipment has failed as the thrust reverser isolation valve and the HCU are installed in series, while the ECU uses the HCU pressure switch for monitoring ASM 783701.
