2422130LPS

Associated CAS:

GEN 2 FAIL
(Advisory)

Reporting LRU: Generator Control Unit (GCU) 2
System Description: 24-21-00
Schematic Diagram: 24-21-00 [ Global Express ]  [ G5000 ]  [ Global XRS ]
Wiring Diagram: 24-21-02 [ Global Express ]  [ G5000 ]  [ Global XRS ]

Fault Description:

Generator Control Unit (GCU) 2 has received a Generator Line Contactor (GLC) inhibit (GLC INH) signal from the AC Power Center (ACPC) or has detected a failure in its internal GLC inhibit sensing circuit.

Possible Causes:

  • Generator Control Unit (GCU) 2 (A57)
  • AC Power Center (ACPC) (A54)
  • Primary Logic Card (PLC) 1
  • Primary Logic Card (PLC) 2
  • Primary Logic Card (PLC) 3
  • 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 GCUs 1, 4 and 5 into position 2 or 3 (for troubleshooting only).

The GCU NVMs can only be downloaded at position #2 or #3.

Troubleshooting Recommendations:

  1. Swap GCU 2 with GCU 3.

    1. If system checks are good, replace GCU 2 and do close out.
    2. If the fault remains, continue with next step.

  2. Remove PLC 1.

    1. If system checks are good, install a new PLC in the #1 position and do close out.
    2. If the fault remains, re-install PLC 1 and continue with next step.

  3. Remove PLC 2

    1. If system checks are good, install a new PLC in the #2 position and do close out.
    2. If the fault remains, re-install PLC 2 and continue with next step.

  4. Remove PLC 3.

    1. If system checks are good, install a new PLC in the #3 position and do close out.
    2. If the fault remains, continue with next step.

  5. Remove PLC 1, PLC 2, PLC 3 and perform wiring checks for ground short fault.
  6. On GCU 2, disconnect connector A57P2 and using a multi-meter, check for a ground on A57P2-29.

    1. If the ground short fault is not detected, go to step 8.
    2. If the ground short fault is detected, continue with next step.

  7. On ACPC, disconnect connector A54P7 and on connector A57P2, using a multi-meter, check for a ground on A57P2-29.

    1. If the ground short fault is detected, repair or replace the defective wiring between GCU 2 and the ACPC and do close out.
    2. If the ground short fault is not detected, continue with next step.

  8. Replace the ACPC.
  9. Do close out.
