Troubleshooting Recommendations:

  1. Disconnect the Auxiliary Power Unit Sensor DPMS5 connector. Do visual inspection of the connector and associated wiring for any loose pins and/or damaged wire.

    1. If inspection is satisfying, continue with next step.
    2. If inspection is not satisfying, go to step 5.

  2. Swap the Auxiliary Power Unit Sensor DPMS5 with Auxiliary Power Unit Sensor DPMS7. Is the fault message still present?

    1. If YES, continue with next step.
    2. If NO, replace the defective Auxiliary Power Unit Sensor.

  3. Do visual inspection and a wiring check (with a high precision milli-ohm meter) of the feeder cables between the APU Generator G3 Stud and the Aux DCPC T31 and T32 Studs.

    1. If inspection and wiring check are satisfying, go to next step.
    2. If inspection and wiring check are not satisfying, repair defective wiring.
      NOTE: Due to the high precision of the generator sensor (100 mA), to confirm the integrity of a power feeder, it is suggested to connect an extra feeder cable to bypass the suspected one.

  4. Replace the Auxiliary Power-Center Primary-Logic. Is the fault message still present?

    1. If YES, continue with next step.
    2. If NO, go to step.

  5. Replace the Aux DCPC (A196).
  6. Do close out.
