A. Not Applicable
4. Fault IsolationNOTE: The Oil Debris Monitoring (ODM) Sensor has detected metallic particles in the oil that exceed allowable limits. The ODM sensor is installed between the main oil scavenge line (LR03) and the oil tank inlet housing located on the oil tank at the 9 o'clock position. The ODM sensor is monitored by the Prognostics and Health Management Unit (PHMU). The PHMU communicates the debris count to the Electronic Engine Control (EEC).
- 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: Initial ODM alarms at the onset of a failure may not be supported by easily found particles on the magnetic chip collectors or oil filter element. Continued monitoring for subsequent alarms may be required.
NOTE: The ODM may "False Alarm" within a few hours after engine maintenance activities on the engine oil system due to maintenance induced contamination. Monitoring for subsequent alarms may be necessary to determine if the condition is actually an indication of a failure.
WARNING:
BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU DO WORK ON THE ENGINE AFTER SHUTDOWN. THE ENGINE AND ENGINE OIL 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.
