EFCS1, AFS - PROBE PITOT 1+2/2+3/1+3 (9DA)
9DA=HEATING ELEMENT PITOT 1 (6DA1/PHC1)
Heating Element Pitot 1 suspected failed.

Bye Bye dual/triple pitot failure hypothesis...
Why? A single pitot failure unlikely downs an A330.

That this failure indication shows a failed PTC heating resistor/or wire connection or that it was impossible to keep the PTC at a high enough temperature remains unknown at this stage.
