## Discrepancy

ECS SYSTEM WAS DEACTIVATED AND ODOUR DISSIPATED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO PLACE OF DEPARTURE WITH NO FURTHER FAULTS. PASSENGERS DEBOARDED AND CAPTAIN PERFORMED GROUND RUN TO TEST ECS. ODOUR RETURNED AS SOON AS ECS SELECTED ON. ECS SYSTEM WAS AGAIN DEAVTIVATED AND AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO BASE UNPRESSURIZED AND TROUBLESHOT SYSTEMS INDICATING COLD AIR UNIT WAS AT FAULT. UNIT WAS REPLACED WITH SERVICEABLE PART. GROUND RUN PERFORMED WITH NO FAULT FOUND. AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE. (TC# 20060706005)
