Control Loading “Swaptronics” Troubleshooting (TruFeel2/ECL2)
If you have an error on one Control Loading axis (for example, Elevator), you can identify which of the Elevator axis Control Loading components is causing the error by swapping components and retesting. If the error follows the swapped component to a different axis (for example, to the Aileron axis), you will know that component is faulty.

TruFeel2 Fault Logs and Codes
There are three locations to get Trufeel2 fault codes from.
TruFeel2 System Description
The TruFeel2 system is an advanced design that accurately simulates the forces acting on the aircraft’s control surfaces in both static and dynamic conditions. These include but are not limited to Inertia, Trim effects, Friction, Control stops, Damping, Breakout force, Aerodynamic gradient, Backlash (or deadband), and Autopilot actuators.
Load Cell FPN148151 (TruFeel2)
The Control Loading Load Cell senses the force applied by the pilot.
TruFeel2 Module FPN149024 (TruFeel2)
The TruFeel 2 Module senses the position of the motor, reads motor torque from the Servo Drive, and monitors load cell output.
Control Loading Actuator (ECL2/TruFeel2)
The Control Loading Actuator provides an appropriate range of force and travel at the pilot control.
