Troubleshooting Recommendations:

  1. Disconnect the Left Auxiliary DC Power Contactor K71 (LAPC1) connector located in the AUX DCPC (A196). 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 Left Auxiliary DC Power Contactor K71 (LAPC1) coils by measuring the resistances at the contactor connector 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 Auxiliary 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 Auxiliary Power Center Primary Logic PCB11.

  3. Swap the Left Auxiliary DC Power Contactor K71 (LAPC1) with the Right Auxiliary DC Power Contactor K72 (RAPC1). Is the fault message still present?

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

  4. Replace the Auxiliary Power Center Primary Logic PCB11. Is the fault message still present?

    1. If YES, continue with next step.
    2. If NO, do close out.

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