Troubleshooting Recommendations:

  1. Reset the following circuit breakers with L Hyd, R Hyd and AUX Hyd pressurized.

    PRI STAB TRIM/RUD LIM CB1-B15
    SEC STAB TRIM/RUD LIM CB2-B13

    NOTE: Keep circuit breakers pulled for 10 seconds.

    1. If system checks are good, do close out.
    2. If fault remains, continue with next step.

  2. Do Detailed Inspection of the Rudder Travel Limiter. Replace/repair as required.
  3. Do Operational Test of the Rudder Travel-Limiter Actuator.

    1. If test passes, do close out.
    2. If test fails, continue with next step.

  4. Do Electrical Rigging of the Rudder Travel-Limiter Actuator.

    1. If system checks are good, do close out.
    2. If fault remains, continue with next step.

  5. Do wiring check between RTLA connectors, HST ECU connectors, RTL RVDT connector. Repair/replace as required.

    1. If system checks are good, do close out.
    2. If fault remains, continue with next step.

  6. Check RTL RVDT internal wiring for continuity, short-circuit and insulation.

    1. If RTL RDVT internal wiring is confirmed good, go to step 8.
    2. If RTL RVDT internal wiring is not good, continue with next step.

  7. Replace RTL RVDT.

    1. If system checks are good, do close out.
    2. If fault remains, continue with next step.

  8. Replace RTLA.

    1. If system checks are good, do close out.
    2. If fault remains, continue with next step.

  9. Replace HST ECU.
  10. Do close out.
