Troubleshooting Recommendations:

  1. Disconnect the External DC Power Contactor (K81) connector located in the Left DC Power Center (A35). 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. Verify External DC Power Contactor (K81) coils by measuring the resistances at the contactor connector (J-side) as per the following table:

    Coils Expected Values Results
    (Pick-up) Pin 1 and Pin 2 between 4.5Ω and 6.5Ω
    (Hold) Pin 2 and Pin 3 between 260Ω and 280Ω

    1. If the verification is satisfying, continue with next step.
    2. If the verification is not satisfying, replace the defective External DC Power Contactor.
      NOTE: It is important to not skip this verification before proceeding with the swap at step 3. A short of one of the 2 coils will result with a blowing of a fuse on the Left DC Power-Center Primary-Logic (PCB3).

  3. Swap the External DC Power Contactor (K81) with the Left Battery Contactor (K73). Is the fault message still present?

    1. If YES, continue with next step.
    2. If NO, replace the defective External DC Power Contactor (K81).

  4. Swap the Left DC Power-Center Primary-Logic (PCB3) with the Right DC Power-Center Primary-Logic (PCB4). Is the fault message still present?

    1. If YES, continue with next step.
    2. If NO, replace the defective Left DC Power-Center Primary-Logic (PCB3).

  5. Replace Left DC Power Center (A35).
  6. Do close out.
