Message Overview:

Fault Message:

APUGCU [PROG PIN 1 SENSE]

Fault Code:

2420216LPS

Associated CAS:

APU GEN FAIL
(Advisory)

Reporting LRU: Auxiliary Power Unit Generator Control Unit (APU GCU)
System Description: 24-22-00
Schematic Diagram: 24-22-00 [ Global Express ]  [ G5000 ]  [ Global XRS ]
Wiring Diagram: 24-22-01 [ Global Express ]  [ G5000 ]  [ Global XRS ]

Fault Description:

Auxiliary Power Unit Generator Control Unit (APU GCU) has detected an internal failure related to its pin 1 programming sensing circuit and consequently APU Generator trips off-line. GCU uses 4 programming pins (0, 1, 2 and PAR (parity)) to determine its position (GCU1, GCU2, GCU3, GCU4, APUGCU). The GCU uses the odd parity system to determine if the programming pins are valid.

Possible Causes:

  • Auxiliary Power Unit Generator Control Unit (APU GCU) (A109)

Troubleshooting Tips:

Advisory Wire/Service Bulletin: None

Forum Articles/Infoservice/Newsletter: None

The GCU NVMs can only be downloaded at position #2 or #3.
A GCU patch cable (GSE REF # 24X-24-02) can be used to swap GCU 1, GCU4 and APU GCU into position 2 or 3 (for troubleshooting only).
