3. Fault Confirmation
Subtask 78-31-00-710-196-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

A. Do an operational test of the thrust reverser system AMM 78-31-00-710-040.

4. Fault Isolation
Subtask 78-31-00-810-136-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

A. This fault message is generated if there is an HCU pressure switch failed in the open position.
(1) If the test gives the maintenance message TR PR SW, J5+J6, ECU:

get access to the HCU,
disconnect the harnesses J5 and J6 from the HCU pressure switch (4102KS),
install jumper wires between pins 2 and 3 on the harness J5 connector and between pins 4 and 5 on the harness J6 connector,
disconnect the harnesses J5 and J6 from the ECU (4000KS) and do a resistance check at each harness connector to the ECU ASM 732516 between:
. pins 12 and 13 (<5 ohms)
. pins 12 and 11 (>10 megohms)
. pin 12 and the ground (>10 megohms).

(a) If the resistance values are in the specified limits:

replace the PRESS SW-HCU [4102KS] AMM 78-31-16-000-040 and AMM 78-31-16-400-040.

(b) If the resistance values are out of the specified limits:

do a continuity and insulation check of the harnesses between the ECU and the HCU pressure switch,
repair or replace the defective harness J5 or harness J6 or thrust reverser harness or junction box AMM 71-51-44-000-002 and AMM 71-51-44-400-002.

replace the ECU [4000KS] AMM 73-21-60-000-001 and AMM 73-21-60-400-001.

(2) If the test does not give the maintenance message TR PR SW, J5+J6, ECU; this is indicative of an intermittent fault that may be caused by defective electrical contacts in the harnesses and junction box between the ECU and the HCU:

do a check of the harnesses J5 and J6 and the thrust reverser harnesses and the junction box between the ECU and the HCU for correct condition,
do a check of the connectors for looseness, bent pins, corrosion or contamination.

(a) If damage is found:

clean, repair or replace as required AMM 71-51-44-000-002 and AMM 71-51-44-400-002.

(b) If no damage is found and fault continues while maintenance message is never confirmed during the test:

replace the PRESS SW-HCU (4102KS) AMM 78-31-16-000-040 and AMM 78-31-16-400-040.

repair or replace the defective harnesses J5 or J6 or thrust reverser harness AMM 71-51-44-000-002 and AMM 71-51-44-400-002.

(d) If the fault continues:

replace the ECU (4000KS) AMM 73-21-60-000-001 and AMM 73-21-60-400-001.

Subtask 78-31-00-710-197-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

B. Do the test given in Para. 3.A.
(1) No additional maintenance action is required if the fault is not confirmed.
(2) Repeat the fault isolation procedure if the fault continues.
