Troubleshooting Recommendations:
- Pull the HST ECU breaker CB1 - B15, and CB2 - B13, reset after a couple seconds. This will re-boot the HST ECU.
- If system checks are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Re-rig the pitch trim system.
- If system checks are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Do wiring checks between #1 motor wiring, Motor Control Unit and Horizontal Stab #1 motor. Repair as required.
- If system checks are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Do wiring checks between HSTA primary motor and HST ECU. Repair as required.
- If system checks are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Do wiring checks between HSTA primary motor and MCU. Repair as required.
- If system checks are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Do wiring checks between HST ECU and MCU. Repair as required.
- If system checks are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Check Motor coil values. Pins D to A, D to B = 0.16 to 0.20Ω.
- If resistance is out of tolerance, go to step 13.
- If resistance is within tolerance, continue with next step.
- Check RVDT primary winding resistance values. Pins 7 to 8 = 30 to 40Ω.
- If resistance is out of tolerance, go to step 13.
- If resistance is within tolerance, continue with next step.
- Check RVDT Secondary winding values. Pins 9 to 10, Pins 10 to 11, and Pins 11 to 9 = 113 to 150Ω.
- If resistance is out of tolerance, go to step 13.
- If resistance is within tolerance, continue with next step.
- Check RVDT Excitation values at Pins 7 to 8 = approximately 5 VAC.
- If voltage is out of tolerance, go to step 14.
- If voltage is within tolerance, continue with next step.
- Swap relay K44 with relay K45.
- If system checks are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Replace HST ECU.
- If system checks are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Replace Primary motor.
- If system checks are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Replace MCU.
- Do close out.
