Message Overview:
Message Description:
The amber 'R REVERSER FAIL' caution CAS message indicates a failure in the thrust reverser system that prevents continued operation.
- The respective thrust reverser has failed.
Possible Causes:
- Hydraulic Quantity Indicator
- Electro-Hydraulic Primary-Lock (EHPL)
- Thrust Reverser (TR) Lower Deploy Switch
- Thrust Reverser (TR) Upper Deploy Switch
- Thrust Reverser (TR) Lower Door (Lower Door)
- Thrust Reverser (TR) Upper Door (Upper Door)
- Thrust Reverser (TR) Lower Pivot Door Actuator (PDA)
- Thrust Reverser (TR) Upper Pivot Door Actuator (PDA)
- Thrust Reverser Multiplexer (TR MUX) Connectors
- Thrust Reverser (TR) Isolation Control-Unit (ICU) Wiring Harness
- Thrust Reverser (TR) Isolation Control-Unit (ICU)
- Thrust Reverser (TR) Isolation Control-Unit (ICU) Inhibit Indication Switch
- Electronic Control Unit (ECU) A
- Electronic Control Unit (ECU) B
- Thrust Reverser (TR) doors failed to move from the stow position
- Throttle Quadrant Assembly (TQA) Solenoid Wiring
- Throttle Quadrant Assembly (TQA) Solenoids
- TR Deploy Command Signals
- Associated Wiring
Troubleshooting Tips:
Advisory Wire/Service Bulletin:
- SIL AS907-6 - AS907 FAILED THRUST REVERSER STOWING
Full Throttle Blog/Forum Articles/Infoservice/Newsletter: None
Flight Operation Notifications Manual (FONM): None
NOTES:
- Check Lower TR Deploy Switch and Bracket for possible wear. Refer to Honeywell SIL AS907-6.
- You may need to inspect the FADEC's and Multiplexer's connectors for proper installation, contamination or damage. Check the system after the connectors have been reinstalled properly.

Troubleshooting Recommendations:
- Make sure the following Circuit breakers are set to IN:
Left Thrust Reverser
L TR Ctrl 1 - CB1 A14
L TR Ctrl 2 - CB1 A15
Left FADEC (ECU)
L CH A - CB1 A13
L CH B - CB2 A13
Right Thrust Reverser
R TR Ctrl 1 - CB2 A14
R TR Ctrl 2 - CB2 A15
Right FADEC (ECU)
R CH A - CB1 A12
R CH B - CB2 A12 - Interrogate the MDC as follows:
- On the cursor control panel, ensure the toggle switch is to the right and select Anti-Ice, ECS and Fuel buttons simultaneously. The MDC main menu should now be displayed on Display Unit #3.
- Using the joystick, select Current Faults (if the fault is active) or Aircraft History to research stored faults. From Aircraft History you can then select Fault Message History and locate the fault. Going into advanced diagnostics will provide an equation id for the fault identified.
- Select the MDC fault or equation from the drop down below to provide additional information to assist in troubleshooting.
- Use Honeywell E-Engines web site for system troubleshooting, link provided above.
