FLAP LOW SPEED WITH SPS ADVANCED
MESSAGE ON THE EICAS
The Flap System Troubleshooting Process will be accomplished
according to the message downloaded with on the MFD (Multi
Function Display) by through CMC (Central Maintenance
Computer).
Each message has a related troubleshooting task that gives a
sequence of steps to solve the indicated failure.
The FECU (PN 363100-1007 all modes, and PN 363100-1009) can
trigger the SPS ADVANCED message when operating with one flap
channel inoperative (only the PN 363100-1009 can operate with
one channel inoperative).
To eliminate the SPS ADVANCED message from the FECU,
perform the procedures below.
INITIAL EVALUATION
A. For aircraft equipped with FECU PN 363100-1009.

1. Set the flaps to the zero position.
2. Open circuit breakers Flap 1 and Flap 2.
3. Check that the FLAP LOW SPEED message goes out of
view and the FLAP FAIL message comes into view.
4. Close circuit breakers Flap 1 and Flap 2.
5. Check that the FLAP FAIL message goes out of view and
the FLAP LOW SPEED message comes into view.
6. Open circuit breakers IC 1 and IC 2, and disconnect
(release) the backup battery pushbutton.
7. Check that the MFDs, PFDs, and EICAS display show a red X.

DAU TROUBLESHOOTING
The DAU has two operating data channels, which have redundant
information. All the signals are routed internally to two completely
independent channels (A and B). Each channel has its own power
supply and processors. Each channel gathers the information and
outputs them in digital busses.
Attention – Prior to DAU replacement, make sure that all
troubleshooting alternatives have been checked.
INITIAL EVALUATION
A. Make sure that the following circuit breakers are closed:
– DAU 1A;
– DAU 2A;
– DAU 1B;
– DAU 2B.

A. Defective Harness (WM 31-41-50).
B. Malfunction of the ground stud (WM 31-41-50).
C. Intermittent problem with DAU connector (WM 20-50-00_2).
D. DAU Failure.
QUICK CHECKS
A. Remove the DAU, and re-install it back.
Did the message disappear?
1. Yes the message disappeared.
2. No. Check if there is ground signal according to the table
below, in the respective faulty side:

SEP 2005 31-3

a. Are the measurements ok?
– Yes all voltage measurements are ok. Go to step B.
– No. Go to the FIM task according to the related DAU
fail message (Table 3).
2. No. Repair the ground studs (Figures 2 and 3) as necessary.

Check the ground stud for:
– Corrosion.
– Misplacing.
– Melting.
If the defective DAU is the DAU 1, check for correct cables
position. The cables cannot force the connector and pins
down. See Figure 2 below as reference.
It is also recommendable to check the ground stud
resistance. Using as ground reference the battery ground
point at battery compartment or ground point at the tail cone
door, according to Figure 4, with the Miliohmimeter (GSE
045) check the resistance value of 0.5 mΩ in the ground
stud.
NOTE: This resistance value is reached only using the
battery ground point at the battery compartment or ground
point at the tail cone door, as applicable, as ground
reference.
31-4 SEP 2006

B. NOTE: The operator can, at his discretion, use alternative
replacement procedures or policies that have already been
approved and are in use by the airline. These alternative
replacement procedures include experimental replacement of
parts, use of parts obtained from an aircraft on different aircraft
of the same fleet, interchange of equivalent parts of the same
aircraft, etc. Therefore, the operator must take responsibility for
all applicable precautions. In case of interchange (swap) of
units with same part number installed in the aircraft it is always
assumed that the LRU being interchanged does not have any
failure. If the interchange (swap) of units with same part number
installed in the aircraft is not allowed according to airline
policies go to the respective FIM task referred in Table 3.
CAUTION: • MAKE SURE THAT ALL VOLTAGE AND GROUND

CHECKS WHERE ACCOMPLISHED SUCCESSFULLY,
IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE DA-800 UNIT INTEGRITY.

GENERAL TIPS
A. When troubleshooting the system with a CMC download, make
sure that the associated circuit breakers were not opened earlier.
Every time the AIR/GND A, B, C or D circuit breakers, located
on the circuit breaker panel are opened, CMC messages are
generated and should not be considered for troubleshooting
purposes.
B. NOTE: Reset the CMC after the troubleshooting and change
the CMC switch on the maintenance panel to the “ENABLE”
position.
When checking the harness, remember to check all the
connectors.
Make sure that the connectors are well attached to avoid bad
contact.
To guarantee that these connectors are not with bad contact,
shake the harness and check if there is no related message on
the EICAS or on the CMC.
If some message appears when the harness is shaken, check
this harness for continuity and check also the connectors.

ENGINE START PROBLEMS
NO ROTATION
During an engine start attempt there is no rotation or the engine
does not reach sufficient N2 to start ignition (14% N2).

A. Air Turbine Starter – ATS.
B. Starter Control Valve – SCV.
C. Cross bleed valve.
QUICK CHECKS
A. According to the pneumatic power source (APU or external
pneumatic power source), check for these EICAS messages:
APU BLD VLV FAIL and/or CROSS BLD FAIL and do the
applicable T/S.
B. During start procedure, check the start control valve manual
control position. If it is in the OPEN position, replace the ATS. If
it is not in the OPEN position, do the troubleshooting for the
start control valve and/or pneumatic system.
C. Do an engine start procedure with manual override of the start
control valve (AMM MPP 80-10-02/201).
D. If FADEC download is required, do not de-energize the aircraft.
See Embraer FIM TASK 72-00-00-810-809-A
OCT 2004 71-1

ENGINE DOES NOT START (NO LIGHTOFF)
There is no significant ITT increase within 5 seconds after fuel flow
is introduced on an engine start attempt.

A. Ignition system.
B. Fuel nozzles
C. Fuel Pump Metering Unit – FPMU.
D. FADEC.
E. Combustor chamber brackets.
QUICK CHECKS
A. For cold weather, do an engine start procedure with the
IGNITION switch in the ON position (dual ignition procedure).
B. Check for CMC messages on the MFD (AMM MPP 45-45-
00/201).
C. If the failure is associated with FADEC channel A, do an engine
start procedure with FADEC channel B. Use the FADEC
RESET/ALTN switch to select the FADEC channel.
D. If FADEC download is required, do not de-energize the aircraft.
See Rolls-Royce FIM CSP34064

TASK 72-00-00-810-803
71-2 OCT 2004

STAGNATED (HUNG) START
Lightoff is achieved, but the engine is slow to reach idle or does not
reach idle.

A. Observe N2 rotation at fuel introduction.
If N2 > 28% at fuel introduction:
1. (For Pre-Mod. SB AE3007A-75-019) – CABV/CABCV
2. FPMU/Fuel Nozzle
If N2 < 28% at fuel introduction:

1. APU/External pneumatic power source.
2. Starter Control Valve – SCV.
3. Aircraft bleed system
4. Air Turbine Starter – ATS.
QUICK CHECKS
A. If the residual ITT is higher than 210°C (410°F), do an engine
dry motoring to decrease the ITT and then do a new engine
start.
B. According to the pneumatic power source (APU or external
pneumatic power source), check for these EICAS messages:
APU BLD VLV FAIL and/or CROSS BLD FAIL and do the
applicable T/S.
C. Check for CMC messages on the MFD (AMM MPP 45-45-
00/201).
D. Do an engine start for the other engine to make sure that the
pneumatic power source is operational (APU, external
pneumatic power source).
OCT 2004 71-3

E. During start procedure, check the start control valve manual
control position. If it is in the OPEN position, replace the ATS. If
it is not in the OPEN position, do the troubleshooting for the
start control valve and/or pneumatic system.
F. Do an engine start procedure with manual override of the start
control valve (AMM MPP 80-10-02/201).
G. If FADEC download is required, do not de-energize the aircraft.
See Embraer FIM TASK 72-00-00-810-803-A
71-4 OCT 2004

HOT START/TORCHING ON START
A hot start occurs when the ITT is above the temperature normally
seen during engine starts, or is above 800°C (1742°F). A torch start
occurs when a flame is seen in the exhaust duct during an engine
start.

A. ITT residual above 210°C (410°F).
B. Fuel nozzle.
C. FADEC.
D. Ignition system.
E. FPMU.
F. Combustor chamber brackets.
QUICK CHECKS
A. If residual ITT is higher than 210°C (410°F), do an engine dry
motoring to decrease the ITT and then do a new engine start.
B. Check for CMC messages on the MFD (AMM MPP 45-45-
00/201).
C. If FADEC download is required, do not de-energize the aircraft.
See Rolls-Royce FIM CSP34064
