Require immediate crew attention. These messages are accompanied by flashing master warning, triple chime attenson with or without voice message or dedicated tone. Require immediate crew awareness and future crew action may be required in the form of alternate system selection or performance limitation. These message are accompanied by flashing master caution and a single chime. Indicate safe or normal system operation which require crew awareness, over and above the dark cockpit philosophy. Indicate minor failures or reduction in systems capability, which require no crew action.

Message Overview:

Fault Message:

NO DATA- EGT SENSOR [CKT 1 & 2]/WRG

Fault Code:

4960126APU

Associated CAS:

APU EGT SENSORS
(Caution)

APU SHUTDOWN
(Advisory)

Reporting LRU: Full Authority Digital Engine (Electronic) Control (FADEC)
System Description: 49-40-00
Schematic Diagram: 49-61-00 [ Global Express ]  [ G5000 ]  [ Global XRS ]
Wiring Diagram: 49-61-01 [ Global Express ]  [ G5000 ]  [ Global XRS ]

Fault Description:

Failure or loss of signal from Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) Sensor 1 and EGT Sensor 2. On ground, Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) will auto shutdown or will not start. In flight the APU continues to operate and CAS displays APU EGT SENSORS caution message.

Possible Causes:

  • Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) Sensor (TC1)
  • Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) Full-Authority Digital Engine-Controller (FADEC) (A108)
  • Associated Wiring

Troubleshooting Tips:

Advisory Wire/Service Bulletin:

  • AW700-49-0538 - Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) Sensor

Forum Articles/Infoservice/Newsletter:

  • Honeywell SIL-APU-87 - AIRBORNE AUXILIARY POWER - GAS TURBINE ENGINE - RE220GX APU Auto Shutdown in Heavy Rain

If CAS message is not active, verify stored faults on CAIMS, under System Diagnostics, ATA 49 (this will include ground and air faults).

Troubleshooting Recommendations:

  1. Visually Inspect the EGT Sensors for signs of water that would cause a short between the posts. Use Honeywell SIL-APU-87 if needed.

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

  2. Access CAIMS and using active faults, or stored faults find the fault and verify the CAS message. You can use System Diagnostics to view each channel of the APU FADEC (each EGT sensor) in real time and also access ground faults.
  3. Inspect the wiring and connectors to the EGT sensors for any damage.

    1. If damage found, repair as required and do close out.
    2. If damage not found, continue with next step.

  4. Inspect the EGT sensors for condition and check that the resistance between the Alumel and Chromel post of each sensor is less than 20 ohms.

    1. If resistance not within range, repair as required and do close out.
    2. If resistance within range, continue with next step.

  5. Inspect for RTV sealant per Honeywell SIL-APU-87 (latest Rev).
  6. Replace a defective EGT probe as per Honeywell SIL-APU-87 from the vendor.

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

  7. Re-rack FADEC and verify connector A108BP1 pins B-K6, B-K5, B-K8 and B-K7 for damage or FOD, verify if fault is still present.

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

  8. Replace APU FADEC.
  9. Do close out.
