Procedure; Aircraft
After departure and during climb out at about FL200 an ECAM fault occurred.WHEEL N/W STRG FAULTBRAKES SYS 2 FAULTThese faults also showed the following INOP SYS on the ECAM:CAT 3 DUALN/W STRGBRK SYS 2These faults had no ECAM actions. The QRH listed a follow up action to the WHEEL N/W STRG FAULT. Per the QRH follow up; a computer reset was accomplished. The faults initially cleared and then returned. Several resets were attempted with the same results. I attempted to contact Dispatch but the connection was intermittent and continued to cut out. I contacted Dispatch via a phone patch over VHF and was also patched in with Maintenance Control. Maintenance Control had no additional actions to remedy the situation that were not already accomplished via the QRH. I decided to try one more reset prior to advising ATC due to the inoperative nose wheel steering system. The reset was successful at that time. The flight proceeded per the flight plan.On final approach to [destination]; the WHEEL N/W STRG FAULT and BRAKES SYS 2 FAULT faults returned when the landing gear was extended. A go-around was performed and delay vectors requested to reattempt another reset. The reset attempts were not successful. ARFF was requested due to the N/W STRG system being inoperative for rollout after landing. Dispatch was notified via ACARS. A precautionary landing was performed and the aircraft was safely stopped on the runway centerline. ARFF inspected the aircraft and the brakes were found to be within acceptable limits and safe to tow. Operations provided a tug and towed the aircraft to the gate. Maintenance failure to completely fix a fault previously noted in the aircraft maintenance log.
A319 Captain reported executing a go-around after receiving wheel and brake faults on final approach.
