Troubleshooting Recommendations:
NOTE: The APU Master Switch must be selected at RUN (or START) to provide the primary power to the APU ECU.
- Confirm presence of the Ground at the APU ECU (A39).
Measurement at Expected Result Result Conn. A39CP1-3 Aircraft Ground - If check is satisfactory, continue with next step.
- If check is not satisfactory, repair defective wiring.
- Confirm presence of the 28 VDC (Primary Power) at the APU ECU (A39).
Measurement at Expected Result Result Conn. A39CP1-1 28 VDC - If check is satisfactory, go to step 12.
- If check is not satisfactory, continue with next step.
- Do wiring check from the Right SPC (A38) to APU ECU (A39) for the following wires:
From To Result Conn. A38P2-V Conn. A39CP1-1 - If the check is satisfactory, continue with next step.
- If the check is not satisfactory, repair defective wiring.
- Confirm presence of the 28 VDC at the R SPC (A38).
Measurement at Expected Result Result Conn. A38P2-U 28 VDC - If check is satisfactory, go to step 7.
- If check is not satisfactory, continue with next step.
- Do wiring check from the Right SPC (A38) to Left Cockpit Circuit-Breaker Panel (CBP1) for the following wires:
From To Result Conn A38P2-U CBP1J2-U - If the check is satisfactory, continue with next step.
- If the check is not satisfactory, repair defective wiring.
- Replace APU Circuit Breaker CB1-B8. Is the fault message still present?
- If NO, do close out.
- If YES, replace defective left Cockpit Circuit-Breaker Panel (CBP1).
- Confirm presence of the Ground at the R SPC (A38).
Measurement at Expected Result Result Conn A38P1-1 Aircraft Ground - If the check is satisfactory, continue with next step.
- If the check is not satisfactory, go to step.
NOTE:The APU Master Switch must be selected at RUN (or START) to provide the ground at the R SPC.
- Swap Relay K61 with Relay K130 (both located in R SPC). Is the fault message still present?
- If YES, replace defective R SPC.
- If NO, replace defective relay K61.
NOTE: Relay K130 belongs to the AIR DATA no.2 power circuitry. K18, K20, K132 could also be used during swap test instead of K130.
- Do wiring check from the Right SPC (A38) to the APU Master Switch (S89) (located on the FUEL Control Panel (PL35)) for the following wires:
From To Result Conn. A38P1-1 S89P1 - H - If the check is satisfactory, continue with next step.
- If the check is not satisfactory, repair defective wiring.
- Confirm presence of the Ground at the APU Master Switch (S89).
Measurement at Expected Result Result Conn, S89P1-E Aircraft Ground Conn, S89P1-F Aircraft Ground - If the check is satisfactory, continue with next step.
- If the check is not satisfactory, repair defective wiring.
- Check proper operation of the APU Master Switch (S89) by connecting a multimeter at S89J1 - F and S89J1 - H.
Switch Setting Contacts Expected Result Result OFF Open No continuity RUN Closed Continuity START Closed Continuity - If the check is satisfactory, continue with next step.
- If the check is not satisfactory, replace defective APU Master Switch (S89).
- Replace APU ECU (A39).
- Do close out.
