''NOTE: On the upper ECAM
display unit, the ELAC2 FAULT warning came into view and went out of view after a few seconds during the engine stop phase. ''
Ok you're right this is actually the correct fault isolation procedure and TBH I haven't searched the TSM because I was assuming that the OP has done that already, However that does not disprove my theory that the TSM is not always right.
'
''as for your FAC problem, it sounds like a relay or contactor problem. airplanes get old but poor maintenance and lack of knowledge is the real reason why your aircraft is flying with dual FAC problems.
'''
It is not flying with dual FAC problem in view we make sure to clear it by resetting the computer then we dispatch it and it happens once in a while it's not a hard fault and no it's not a contactor problem the same problem happens on the SECs aswell and ELACs hows it a contactor when it happens on completely diffrent computers aswell yet having the exact problem there is no common contactor.
''seriously when you write things like this, it is clear that you have no idea what you are doing.
can you give me some examples?
''
no smoking and fasten seat belt lights are defective on 8 seats, TSM says check the related DEU As, director,PISAs and wiring.
All was done and it hasnt cleared the fault, In the end the CAM card on the FAP was found defective.
HOT air high press fault comes on when the any of the zones tempreture is increased.
TSM says it could be the hot air pressure regulating valve or the pressure switch both were replaced and it hasnt fixed the fault, All three trim air valves were assumed to be blocked and were replaced and the fault cleared.
Loop A smoke DET fault message was there PFR was faulting a lavatory smoke detector TSM says replace the faulty smoke detector based on the PFR or the system test or check the wiring.
Both done nil help, After isolating the whole loop smoke detectors one by one (which was n ot mentioned in the TSM) it turned out that a cargo smoke detector was causing this which contradicts with what the PFR and the TSM says.
cockpit loud speakers make a wierd clicking noise, no mention in the TSM whatsoever.
When isolating the systems connected to the loudspeaker I found the weather radar transciever making the same noise and niether the PFR nor the ECAM were faulting it, weather radar transciever replaced and the fault cleared.
One toilet was not flushing PFR was faulting the FCU, TSM says replace the FCU if the PFR is faulting it or check it's wiring, both done nothing found in the end a vacuum line found cracked.
And many other stories.
bottom line is things can always fall outside the TSM box and brain engagement is nessesary sometimes.
