Attach.(1-Rework Procedure)Rework Procedure
Before replacing the engine control, check the complete communication device (only customer installed devices) for proper installation. A repair of antenna components (except factory installed devices) may very likely solve the problem without the need for replacement of the engine control.
Following are some points to be checked before the engine control is replaced:
- Ensure antenna cable (except factory installed) is a 50 ohm coaxial (HF) cable.- Check the shielding of antenna (except factory installed) for any short radius bending or damage.- Check communication device and antenna (except factory installed) are properly connected (wire and shield).- Check communication device and antenna (except factory installed) are properly grounded.Do not replace the engine control, if the above antenna repairs solve the problem.
