Message Description:
Generator Control Unit (GCU) 1 has detected a Generator Line Contactor status/status sensing circuit fault, consequently resulting in the Generator 1 tripped off-line or not come on-line.
Possible Causes:
- Generator Control Unit (GCU) 1 (A56)
- AC Power Center (ACPC) (A54)
- Generator Line Contactor (GLC)
- Associated Wiring
Troubleshooting Tips:
Advisory Wire/Service Bulletin: None
Forum Articles/Infoservice/Newsletter: None
A GCU patch cable (GSE REF # 24X-24-02) can be used to swap GCU 1, GCU 2, GCU 3, GCU 4 and the APU GCU into a different position (for troubleshooting only). You can monitor the GCU faults in the CAIMS via the fault messages page.

Troubleshooting Recommendations:
- Access CAIMS Active faults. Are there any ACPC related faults?
- If YES, troubleshoot them first.
- If NO, continue with next step.
- Interchange GCU 1 with GCU 2 (physically or using the GCU patch cable). Is the fault still present?
- If YES, continue with next step.
- If NO, replace GCU 1 and do close out.
- Disconnect GCU 1 connector A56P2. Access ACPC Primary logic assembly and disconnect GLC 1 (K5) connector P103. Do a continuity check as follows:
From To Result A56P2-19 Ground - If there is continuity, repair defective wiring as required or replace ACPC if the defect is inside the ACPC and do close out.
- If there is no continuity, continue with next step
- Perform a continuity check as follows:
From To Result A56P2-19 P103-8 - If there is continuity, continue with next step.
- If there is no continuity, repair defective wiring as required or replace ACPC if the defect is inside the ACPC and do close out.
- Perform a continuity check as follows:
From To Result P103-22 Ground - If there is continuity, continue with next step.
- If there is no continuity, check connections on TB101-3 and TB601-7 and repair as required and do close out.
- Interchange GLC 1 (K5) with GLC 2 (K7). Is the fault still present?
- If YES, continue with next step.
- If NO, replace GLC 1 (K5) and close out.
- Replace ACPC.
- Do close out.
