Troubleshooting Recommendations:
- Pull and reset the PSEU gear system breakers (CB1-C13, CB1-C14, CB2-C13, CB2-C14), recheck the system for the fault.
- Remove the PSEU from its rack and disconnect the connector SP130 from PX18. Verify the wiring from the PX18 SP130 PIN A2 to ground and from PX18 SP131 PIN B2 to ground. The wires should be open to ground.
- If the wiring checks good, download and have field service review the PSEU NVM. Further troubleshooting will depend on results of the PSEU NVM.
- If the fault is still there replace PX18 per the installation procedure, and then check the sensor out.
- If the fault is still there replace the PSEU.
- Functional check the proximity sensor electronic unit.
- Do close out.
