Message Description:
Low oil level in Variable Frequency Generator (VFG) 2 is detected by the remote oil level sensing, consequently resulting in Generator 2 tripped off-line or not come on-line.
Possible Causes:
- Generator Control Unit (GCU) 2 (A57)
- Generator Oil Level Sensor
- Variable Frequency Generator (VFG) 2 (G2)
- Associated Wiring

Troubleshooting Recommendations:
- Perform a check of the oil quantity in VFG 2 and service if required as per AMM TASK 24-12-00-210-802 - Visual Check of the Variable Frequency Generator (VFG) Oil System. Is the fault still present?
- If YES, continue with next step.
- If NO, do close out.
- Disconnect GCU 2 connector A57P2 and VFG 2 connector G2P1. Do a continuity check as follows:
From To Result A57P2-33 Ground A57P2-60 Ground - If there is continuity, repair defective wiring as required and do close out.
- If there is no continuity, continue with next step.
- Do a continuity check as follows:
From To Result A57P2-33 G2P1-K A57P2-60 G2P1-M - If there is continuity, continue with next step.
- If there is no continuity, repair defective wiring as required and do close out.
- Interchange GCU 2 with GCU 1. Is the fault still present?
- If YES, continue with next step.
- If NO, replace GCU 2 and do close out.
- Replace VFG 2.
- Do close out.
