Replacing the Magnetic N2 Speed Pickup

A.

Removal
NOTE:

B.

N2 speed pickups, P/N 23052285 and subsequent, have wrenching flats on the electrical stud spacers. Use a 7/32 inch wrench on the spacer for torque reaction while
removing the retaining nuts.

(1)

Disconnect two harness lugs from pickup studs.

(2)

Cut lockwire and loosen jam nut.

(3)

Unscrew pickup.

Installation (in cool engine only). (Refer to Figure 203.)

(1)

Measure distance from high point on power turbine coupling nut to top of receptacle [nominally 4.209 in. (106.91 mm)] (A, Figure 203).

(2)

Measure distance from pickup tip to top of square mounting head [nominally 5.085 in.
(129.16 mm)] (B, Figure 203).

(3)

Determine dimension C, Figure 203, using the following formula:

C = (BA) + 0.025 in. (0.64 mm)
NOTE:

The nominal value for dimension C is 0.901 in. (22.89 mm).

(4)

Advance pickup until distance from top of pickup mounting head to top of receptacle
equals (B) (A) + 0.025 0.005 in. (0.64 0.13 mm) [nominally 0.901 in. (22.89 mm)] (C,
Figure 203). Each full turn advances the pickup 0.050 in. (1.27 mm).

(5)

Tighten jam nut to 7090 lb in. (7.910.2 N.m). Recheck dimension C. If not correct, readjust to correct; then lockwire jam nut. For P/N 23054634 exhaust collector assemblies,
lockwire from the jam nut to the cooling air elbow fitting.
NOTE:

N2 speed pickups, P/N 23052285 and subsequent, have wrenching flats on the
electrical stud spacers. Use a 7/32 inch wrench on the spacer for torque reaction while installing the harness lug retaining nuts.

CAUTION:

(6)

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS ON THE N2

SPEED PICKUP. TIGHTENING BEYOND THE SPECIFIED TORQUE CAN
DAMAGE THE PICKUP.

Connect harness lugs to pickup studs and tighten nuts to 1317 lb in. (1.51.9 N.m).

Replacing the N2 Overspeed Solenoid Valve

A.

B.

7.

Removal
(1)

Disconnect engine electrical harness from the solenoid valve.

(2)

Disconnect the two tubes from the tee at the solenoid valve.

(3)

Remove the two nuts and bolts; then separate the overspeed solenoid valve from the horizontal firewall shield. (Left side when looking forward.)

(4)

Remove the tee from the solenoid valve. Discard packing.

Installation
(1)

Lubricate packing and install with the tee in the N2 overspeed solenoid valve. Do not
tighten the jam nut at this time.

(2)

Position the overspeed solenoid in the bracket. Secure solenoid with two nuts and bolts.
Tighten nuts to 3540 lb in. (3.94.5 N.m).

(3)

Connect the two tubes to the tee at the solenoid valve. Tighten coupling nuts to 80120 lb
in. (9.013.6 N.m). Tighten tee jam nut to 5580 lb in. (6.29.0 N.m).

(4)

Connect engine electrical harness to the solenoid valve.

Inspection/Check
A.

Engine Electrical Harness Check

CAUTION:

B.

DO NOT MAKE AN INSULATION TEST OR PLACE A HIGH POTENTIAL

ACROSS CONTACTS 8 AND 9 OF THE MAIN DISCONNECT PLUG, ACROSS
CONTACTS 1 TO 2 OF THE ANTIICE VALVE CONNECTOR PLUG, OR
ACROSS CONTACTS 1 AND 2 OF THE N2 CONNECTOR PLUG.

(1)

Check the harness by making a continuity test and an insulation test of each circuit (except
as noted in CAUTION above). The insulation test shall be made from each circuit to all
other circuits, including shielding, and to the shell of each connector. The test shall be
made using 1000 volts ac. The test leakage shall not exceed one milliampere. An alternate test may be made using 500 volts dc. Resistance shall not be less than 1.25 megohms.

(2)

Make a diode test using a low voltage (1 to 5 volts dc) indicator lamp. Check between
contacts 1 and 2 of the antiicing solenoid valve connector plug and the overspeed solenoid valve connector plug; in either case, with 1 positive and 2 negative the lamp should
not light. With 1 negative and 2 positive, the lamp should light.

N2 Overspeed Control Check. Check the function of the electronic power turbine N2 overspeed
control system in accordance with para 7.C., 720000, EngineDescription and Operation.

PARA 7. (cont)
C.

N2 Speed Pickup Inspection/Check. Check the electrical resistance and inspect the physical
condition of the N2 pickup as follows:
NOTE:

Recommended room temperature for the resistance check is 25C (77F).

(1)

Visually inspect the pickup and connector for physical damage. Inspect the pickup body
for cracks or deformation.

(2)

The maximum coil resistance at 25C (77F) shall be as follows:

Part No.

8.

23036550

200

23039948 and subsequent

75

(3)

The coils shall be insulated from the case by a minimum of 10 megohms at 50 volts dc.

(4)

If an intermittent condition in circuit resistance is suspected, the following procedure may

be used to confirm the condition:

(5)

D.

Max. Coil Resistance (OHMS)

(a)

Place the pickup on a table or firm surface, and connect an analog (meter type)
ohmmeter to the studs, ensuring a good, secure electrical connection. Lightly tap
the pickup, starting from just below the electrical connector, working toward the tip,
and monitor the circuit resistance. Any sudden change in circuit resistance will indicate a faulty part.

(b)

If the condition still can not be confirmed, place the pickup in an oven at 200250F
(93121C) for one hour. Upon removal, and while the pickup is still hot, repeat
step (a).

If an intermittent condition in insulation resistance is suspected, the procedure in step (4)

may also be used, except the insulation resistance should be monitored for any sudden
drop below the required insulation resistance value. If this drop occurs, the part should be
considered faulty.

N2 Overspeed Control. If the N2 overspeed control is suspected to be malfunctioning, perform

PushtoTest check as defined in section 720000, Para 7.C., EngineDescription and Operation.
(1)

Check N2 overspeed control box for proper grounding. Repeat functional test if ground is
repaired.

(2)

Replace N2 overspeed control unit with serviceable assembly. Repeat functional test for
additional troubleshooting.

Cleaning Engine Electrical Harness

Clean the harness by wiping it with a clean cloth dampened with methyl ethyl ketone.
