DURING THEIR TROUBLESHOOTING, MX NOTED THE PRESENCE OF THE RT PACK OVERHEAT CAS MESSAGE.  THE RT ECU WAS INSPECTED. COOLING TURBINE WAS NOTED STIFF AND THE HEAT EXCHANGER DIRTY.  RT ECU WAS REPLACED WITH A SERVICEABLE UNIT.  ACFT GROUND RUNS WERE COMPLIED WITH OK AND A SATISFACTORY TEST FLIGHT WAS COMPLETED WITH NO REOCCURRENCE OF SMOKE.
