10-10.1. Engine Low Voltage Harness Connector Repair
CAUTION: Field repair of the engine low voltage harness
connectors are prohibited. These connectors are assembled with
special tools and are potted with RTV and sealed with high
temperature adhesives. Return to TCM or authorized repair station
for repair or overhaul.
Two 25-pin DIN connectors attach the engine low voltage harness to the speed sensor
signal conditioning unit. Two 50-pin DIN connectors attach the engine low voltage
harness to the Electronic Control Units (ECUs). The engine low voltage harness connects
to the airframe at nineteen pin circular connectors. The FADEC pressure sensors are
circular six pin connectors. The six, 19, 25 and 50 pin connectors are assembled with
potting compound for strength and are not field reparable.
The low voltage 25 and 50-pin DIN connectors for the ECUs and Speed Sensor
Assembly must be installed with EMI gaskets and environmental sealant strips to ensure
proper operation.
Wiring harness segments must connect to termination points without strain or binding.
Splice repair must not place undue stress on the wiring harness. If a repair is required in
an area which was previously spliced, replace the previously repaired segment to limit the
repaired segments to as few as possible. Slight freedom of movement after connection at
all termination points is required to prevent harness failure.
