1 flash *

2 flashes *

3 flashes *

4 flashes *

POSSIBLE CAUSE(S)

Electronic control module off or pilot flame off.

Electronic control module is powered and pilot lit.

Thermopile voltage low.

Gas valve or tank sensor failure.

Gas control valve overheat failure (pilot off or burner off).

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Check wiring harness for proper connection.

Ignite pilot flame.

Normal operation. No action required.

Inspect thermopite connection to gas control valve/thermostat.

Inspect flame coverage on thermopile.

Check inlet gas pressure.

Run open circuit thermopite output test and replace pilot assembly if output is below 350 mV.

Restart gas control valve.

If main burner turns on after restart, replace tank sensor.

If main burner does not turn on after restart, replace gas valve assembly.

Replace gas control valve/thermostat.

Verify tank sensor is connected to electronic control module.

5 flashes *

Lower tank sensor failure (pilot on

and burner off).

 

Verify tank sensor is connected to the heater tank.

Run tank sensor calibration check.

Replace tank sensor and electronic control module.
