What was found

(CAN) SHORTLY AFTER T/O, THE ENGINE SUFFERED AN UNCOMMANDED DECREASE IN POWER. THE FLIGHT WAS ABORTED AND THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO BASE WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE DECREASE IN POWER WAS COMPENSATED BY THE OTHER ENGINE AND AT NO TIME DID THE ENGINE REVERT TO MANUAL NOR WAS THERE ANY FAULT INDICATED ON THE COCKPIT DISPLAY. TROUBLESHOOTING LED TO THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE HARNESS DUE TO AN ERRATIC TORQUE SIGNAL. POST REPLACEMENT GROUND CHECKS AND TEST FLIGHT WERE ALL NORMAL. MFG WILL CONTINUE INVESTIGATING THE EVENT AND ADVISE OF ROOT CAUSE ONCE ESTABLISHED.
