kfc225 autopilot error

[Tommooney]

I'm hoping someone can help me reset my autopilot, or just tell me I need a shop....

I had a new cfi ( Cirrus pilot ) giving some recurrency training who insisted on showing me how to operate my autopilot more efficiently by pushing more buttons... well it errored like the photo. A couple days later i restarted and it operated normally until he tried the same thing and it errored and now it will not reset after powering off and restarting. It stops at check number 2 every time.

Thanks for any help.

Seems like a good question for @Jake@BevanAviation

Page 5 shows what the P and the R mean.

Page 8 mentions the (PT) Pitch Trim annunciation.

I agree with Skip though, @Jake@BevanAviation will have the answers.

I would need to know what step the PFT fails on.  Best way to troubleshoot that system is with the diagnostic cable and laptop.  For service you are going to be limited to Mid-Continent Instruments, Duncan Aviation, and Southeast Aerospace.  Honeywell in their infinite wisdom restricted repairs to only authorized service centers.

Mid-Continent is close by me in VNY I believe. I had talked to them about something else at OSH. That sounds like a good suggestion. Thank You very much.

I've had good service from Mid-Continent.
