Narrative:
I was called out to gate for a dhc-Q400 aircraft returning to gate december 2011 at approximately xa:00 am for stall system fail # 1; # 2; caution illuminated and stall protection module-1 (spm-1) and spm-2 circuit breakers popped. I reset the circuit breakers in accordance with general procedures manual (gpm) and complied with the operational check of stall warning system in accordance with aircraft maintenance manual (amm) task 27-33-00- 710; operations checks good after test. I was notified the following day from a lead technician [there was an issue].the operational check of the stall warning system in accordance with amm task 27-33-00-710 did not reference the lower level minimums (llm) sensitive components associated with this task. The amm task 27-33-00-710 now contains a company [maintenance engineering] supplement with a revision date of december 2011; to comply with a maintenance task card (mtc) # XXX and llm return to service [requirements]. I verified with maintenance control that the aircraft was in compliance and mtc # XXX had been complied with [and noted] in the logbook. Suggest inserting company [engineering] supplements on every amm task associated with llm sensitive components. Should have recognized the relationship of the circuit breakers associated to llm components with stick shaker system.
