## Discrepancy

THE CREW ABORTED THE TAKEOFF AND RETURNED TO THE GATE, FOLLOWING A TAKEOFF CONFIG FAIL WARNING MESSAGE.  THE CREW SUSPECTED THAT AN UNCOMMANDED ELEVATOR TRIM CHANGE CAUSED THE EVENT.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED AND PERFORMED OPERATIONAL CHECKS OF THE ELEVATOR TRIM SYSTEM.  ALSO A HIGH SPEED TAXI CHECK WAS COMPLETED.  NO DEFECTS WERE FOUND IN ACCORDANCE WITH DORNIER MAINTENANCE MANUAL 27-32-00,  AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
