Message Overview:

GEAR DISAGREE
(Caution)

DDG Reference: 32-30
Pilot Action (QRH): GEAR 10-3
System Description: 32-60-00
Schematic Diagram: 32-31-00

Message Description:

The amber 'GEAR DISAGREE' caution CAS message indicates that the gear position and the landing gear switch position do not match.

  • The PSEU has detected a discrepancy between gear commanded position and actual position, these indications are caused by the following situations:

  1. The landing gear does not reach position that agrees with the control handle within maximum swing time-out.
  2. A landing gear fails to move when commanded (similar to swing time-out, shorter limits).
  3. Uncommanded movement of a landing gear.

Caution will not be present when fault is detected in an up-lock sensor.

  • PSEU non-volatile memory can be downloaded from the MDC for additional trouble shooting information and faults.
  • Advisory Wire 300-32-0084 may provide some relevant information with aircraft that have recently replace the NLG "down & lock" proximity switches PX10 and PX40.

Possible Causes:

  • Proximity Sensors
  • Proximity Sensor Electronic Unit (PSEU) (A9)
  • Associated Wiring

Troubleshooting Recommendations:

  1. Use the MDC to view the GEAR SENSOR STATUS MENU as per AMM task 32-61-00-820-801 and adjust any sensor out of tolerance.

  2. Visually inspect and adjust the proximity sensor switches IAW AMM TASK 32-61-00-820-801, to correct a specific gear disagreement, check and adjust the relevant switches per AMM TASK 32-61-00-710-801, then perform the system functional test of the proximity sensors IAW AMM TASK 32-61-00-720-801.

  • The down and lock switches are as follows: NLG (PX10, PX40) Left MLG (PX09, PX39) Right (PX08, PX038).
