Message Description:
Left Input/Output Concentrator (L-IOC) is not receiving data from the Horizontal Stabilizer Electronic Control Unit (HSTECU) over the HSTECU-1 bus.
Possible Causes:
- Left Input/Output Concentrator (IOC) (A4-IOC1)
- Right Input/Output Concentrator (IOC) (A4-IOC2)
- Horizontal Stabilizer Trim Electronic Control Unit (HST ECU) (A130)
- Associated Wiring
Troubleshooting Tips:
Advisory Wire/Service Bulletin:
- AW300-27-0081 - Spoiler Electronic Control Unit (SECU) and Horizontal Stabilizer Electronic Control Unit (HSTECU) - Cold Temperature Circuit Breaker Reset Procedure (20501 - 20999)
Forum Articles/Infoservice/Newsletter: None
Perform the AW300-27-0081 reset procedure for the HST ECU if the message is displayed during initial power-up in cold temperature. The stab trim position indication on EICAS can also flash on and off.

Troubleshooting Recommendations:
- Pull the HST ECU breaker CB1 - B15 and breaker CB2 - B13, reset after a couple seconds. This will re-boot the HST ECU.
- If fault is cleared after latency check has been completed, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Swap IOCs.
- If system checks are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Perform wiring check between IAPS (L IOC) and HST ECU.
- If system checks are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Replace HST ECU.
- Do close out.
