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.
- If PX31, PX34, PX40, PX46 and PX49 also indicate Signal Conditioning Failure, troubleshoot these sensors for a short to ground. Repair as required.
- If system checks are good, do close out.
- If fault remains, continue with next step.
- Replace PX43.
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 if failure is on PX43 only and the NVM download does not identify external inputs as the fault.
- Do close out.
