5 RED FLASHES: This fault is indicated if the limit circuit is open for more than fifteen minutes, usually indicating that a
6 RED FLASHES: This indicates that while the unit was operating, the pressure switch opened four times during the call for heat. Check for faulty inducer, blocked vent pipe or faulty pressure switch. The furnace will lock out for one hour and then restart.
7 RED FLASHES: This fault code indicates that the flame could not be established during three trials for ignition. Check that the gas valve switch is in the ON position. Check for low or no gas pressure, faulty gas valve, dirty or faulty flame sensor, faulty hot surface ignitor, loose wires or a burner problem. The furnace will lock out for one hour and then restart.
8 RED FLASHES: This fault is indicated if the flame is lost five times (four recycles) during the heating cycle. Check for low gas pressure, dirty or faulty flame sensor or faulty gas valve. The furnace will lock out for one hour and then restart.
9 RED FLASHES: Indicates reversed line voltage polarity, grounding problem or reversed low voltage transformer wires. Both heating and cooling operations will be affected. Check polarity at furnace and branch. Check furnace grounding. Check that flame probe is not shorted to chassis. The furnace will not start the ignition sequence until this problem is corrected.
10 RED FLASHES: Gas valve energized with no call for heat. The main blower and inducer blower will run and no ignition sequence will be started as long as this condition exists. Check gas valve and gas valve wiring.
11 RED FLASHES: This indicates that the limit circuit has remained open for more than five minutes and less than fifteen minutes. This con- dition is usually caused by a failed blower motor or blower wheel. The control will enter a hard lockout and power will have to be cycled off and on to reset the control after the problem has been corrected.
13 RED FLASHES: This indicates that the
4 AMBER FLASHES: The control is receiving a “Y” signal from the thermostat without a “G” signal. The furnace will operate normally in both heating and cooling, but this fault code will be displayed in order to alert the user that there is a wiring problem. Verify that the “G” wire from the thermostat is connected properly.
SOFT LOCKOUT: This control includes a soft lockout that will reset automatically after one hour. This provides protection to an unoccupied structure if a temporary condition exists causing a furnace malfunction. An example of this is a temporary interruption in gas supply that would prevent the furnace from lighting. The control will keep trying to light each hour and will resume normal operation if the gas supply is restored.
HARD LOCKOUT: Some fault conditions result in a hard lockout, which requires power to the control to be turned off and then back on to reset the control. The control will not automatically restart.
IGNITION CONTROL FLAME SENSE LEVELS Normal flame sense current is approximately 3.7 microamps DC (µa)
Low flame signal warning starts at 1.5 microamps.
Low flame signal control lockout point is
0.1 microamps DC (µa)
DIAGNOSTIC FAULT CODE STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL
The control in this furnace is equipped with memory that will store up to five error codes to allow a service technician to diagnose problems more easily. This memory will be retained even if power to the furnace
is lost. This feature should only be used by a qualified service tech- nician.
If more than five error codes have occurred since the last reset, only the five most recent will be retained. The furnace control board has a but- ton, labeled LAST ERROR that is used to retrieve error codes. This function will only work if there are no active thermostat signals. So any call for heating, cooling or continuous fan must be terminated before attempting to retrieve error codes.
To retrieve the error codes, push the LAST ERROR button. The LED on the control will then flash the error codes that are in memory, starting with the most recent. There will be a
If there are no error codes in memory, the LED will flash two green flashes. To clear the memory, push the LAST ERROR button and hold it for more than five seconds. The LED will flash three green flashes when the memory has been cleared and the button is released, then will resume the normal slow green flash after a
