5.2.3
Engine/Airframe Instrument Failures
The following table provides guidance for troubleshooting individual engine/airframe sensor failures. Be
sure to also follow previous guidance given for the GEA 71. The technician should troubleshoot to
isolate the fault by checking sensor-to-GEA wiring, replacing the suspect sensor, and finally by replacing
the GEA 71. Replace one part at a time. Refer to Section 7.4.1 to check for correct operation of the
sensors and GEA 71 after any part has been replaced. Refer to G1000/GFC 700 Wiring Diagram and
Super King Air 300 or B300 Maintenance Manual (listed in Table 1-2) as needed.
