Troubleshooting Recommendations:

  1. Check status of AC 1 FEED on EMS CDU, the AC 1 Feed being out or tripped can drive multiple CAS to post.
    BUS > AC 1 > AC 1 FEED.

    1. If AC 1 FEED CB is IN go to step 3.
    2. If AC 1 FEED CB is OUT, set to IN.

      AC 1 FEED
      CB SYSTEM PHASE CAS
      CB-G6 ESS TRU 1 3 AC BUS 1 FAIL (Caution)
      CB-G3 EVS FAIRING HEAT 3 EVS HEAT FAIL (Caution)
      CB-G9 SLAT/FLAP PWR 1 3 SLAT-FLAP HALFSPD (Advisory)
      CB-H5 EVS WINDOW HEAT 1 EVS HEAT FAIL (Caution)
      CB-H6 A/T CTLR 1 A/T 1 FAIL (Advisory)
      A/T 2 FAIL (Advisory)
      CB-H7 PITOT 1 HT A 1 PITOT 1 HT FAIL (Caution)
      CB-H8 R ICE DETECTOR 1 ICE DETECTOR FAULT (Advisory)
      CB-H9 R AOA HEAT A 1 R AOA HEAT FAIL (Caution)
      CB-H10 L WSHLD HEAT 1 1 L WSHLD HEAT FAIL (Caution)
      CB-H11 L WSHLD HEAT 2 1 R WSHLD HEAT FAIL (Caution)
      CB-H12 TRU BAY FAN 3 ELEC SYS FAULT (Advisory)
      CB-B6 STAB TRIM CH1 3 STAB CH 1 FAIL (Advisory)

  2. Did the CAIMS Fault & CAS messages clear after setting AC 1 FEED CB to IN.

    1. If YES, do close out.
    2. If NO, go to next step.

  3. Check status of STAB TRIM CH 1 Non-Thermal Circuit Breaker (CB-B6).

    1. If circuit breaker is tripped, go to step 5.
    2. If circuit breaker did not trip, continue with next step.

  4. Perform voltage checks between MDU connector A184P1 to aircraft ground as follow:

    From To Expected Result Result
    A184P1-A Ground 115 VAC
    A184P1-B Ground 115 VAC
    A184P1-C Ground 115 VAC

    1. If checks are good, go to step 6.
    2. If any of check fails, continue with next step.

  5. Disconnect the connector A184P1 and reset the CB. If the CB trip again. Perform wiring checks between MDU and ACPC.

    1. If wiring checks are not good, repair defective wiring as required and do close out.
    2. If wiring checks are good, continue with next step.

  6. Use the Ground support Equipment 27X-41-09 "MDU INVERTING HARNESS" to confirm the fault, prior to replacing any units.
    mdu_inverting_harness_diagram

    1. If the fault is isolated to the MDU, replace the MDU and do close out.
    2. If the fault is isolated to the HSTA, continue with the next step

  7. Replace HSTA, do close out.
    NOTE: The Pitch Trim Motors can be interchanged for confirmation before replacing a component.
  8. Do close out.

NOTE: The MDU status can be verified via CAIMS.
