Message Description:
PSEU detects an internal SHORT circuit in the proximity sensor PX38, Right Main Landing Gear Downlock2, or the wiring to the proximity sensor is shorted to the aircraft.
Possible Causes:
- Proximity-Sensor Electronic Unit (PSEU) (A9)
- Right Main Landing-Gear Downlock 2 Proximity-Sensor (PX38)
- Associated Wiring
Troubleshooting Tips:
Advisory Wire/Service Bulletin: None

Troubleshooting Recommendations:
- Pull and reset the PSEU gear system breakers (CB1-C13, CB1-C14, CB2-C13, CB2-C14).
- If system checks are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Remove the PSEU from its rack and disconnect the connector PX38P1.
- Do wiring checks (shorted to ground = failure) between PX38J1 (pins1, 2) and ground. Repair as required.
- If system checks are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Replace PX38.
NOTE: Sensor resistance should be made with a meter using a < 10 mA supply of current. Never apply voltage through a sensor! Current will magnetize the sensor rendering it unreliable. Sensor resistance is typically 11 to 13 Ω.
- If system checks are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Replace PSEU.
- Do close out.
