## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

PILOT WAS ENROUTE TO IWA WHEN HIS ENGINE MONITORING / FADEC SCREEN GAVE HIM AN INDICATION OF RH "ENGINE ERROR". AFTER CHECKING ALL ENGINE INDICATIONS AND FINDING NO OTHER MALFUNCTION INDICATION HE CLEARED THE ERROR MESSAGE. THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED FLIGHT TO IWA WITHOUT FURTHER ISSUE. AFTER LANDING THE ENGINE WAS TEST RUN AND FOUND INDICATIONS ALL WITHIN NORMAL PARAMETERS.

THE PILOT THEN TRANSITED THE AREA TO SDL TO HAVE MAINTENANCE FACILITY CHECK HIS INDICATING SYSTEM. MAINTENANCE PERFORMED DOWNLOAD OF ENGINE CODES & FOUND ECUB ON RH FADEC AT "HEALTH 7", & ECUA AT "HEALTH 9" CODE. CODES WERE CLEARED AND ENGINE RUN WITH NO DEFAULTS INDICATED.

MAINTENANCE CONFERRED WITH THE ENGINE MONITRO MANUFACTURER - CONTINENTAL MOTORS, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS AN ANOMALY OF THE ECUB MAO (MANIFOLD) SENSOR. MAINTENANCE RECEIVED DIRECTION FROM CONTINENTAL MOTORS THAT THE MANIFOLD SENSOR IN THE ONBOARD COMPUTER WAS NOT CALIBRATED RIGHT. THIS ISSUE WAS DESCRIBED TO BE A SOFTWARE "NUISANCE ERROR" WHICH WAS CORRECTED BY REPLACEMENT OF THE FADEC UNIT.

THE AIRCRAFT HAS OPERATED SINCE THIS REPLACEMENT WITH NO FURTHER ENGINE ERROR INDICATIONS.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
