Troubleshooting Recommendations:

  1. Swap SECUs.
    NOTE: Perform electronic rigging of both SECUs when either SECU is swapped or replaced. The intent is if a SECU that is being installed was previously rigged in a different location in the same aircraft or it is being installed in a different aircraft or the SECU is a spare part it requires electronic rigging (AMM 27-61-05-820-802) per the instructions in AMM TASK 27-61-05-400-801 Installation of the Spoiler Electronic-Control Unit (SECU).

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

  2. Do wiring checks between TQA and SECU1.

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

  3. Verify proper operation of TQA Switches at Idle and TO. If anomalies are detected, replace TQA.
