TABLE 7. Outdoor Control 7-Segment Display Alert Codes and Inverter LED Flash Codes
NOTE – System fault and lockout codes take precedence over system status codes (cooling, heating operating percentages or defrost/dehumidifi-
cation). Only the latest active fault or lockout codes are displayed (if present). If no fault or lockout codes are active, then system status codes are
displayed. Alert codes are also displayed on the S30/S40 thermostat.

Alarm Description
After ten faults within one hour, control is locked out, indicating
poor system operation. Review history of alarms to resolve system
setup. Check condenser fan motor, TXV, indoor unit blower motor,
over-charge, undercharge, or clogged refrigerant filter.
To clear, disconnect power to the indoor unit (24VAC power source
to the outdoor control) which will power off the outdoor control and
will open the outdoor unit contactor, which interrupts power to the
inverter and then re-apply power. Inverter alarms 12 to 14 and 53
do not count toward this lock out condition.
If condition is detected, is detected, outdoor unit compressor and
fan stop. Antishort cycle is initiated. If condition occurs 5 times
within an hour, system is locked out. Indicates high pressure,
condenser fan failure or overcharge.
To clear, disconnect power to the indoor unit (24VAC power source
to the outdoor control) which will power off the outdoor control and
will open the outdoor unit contactor, which interrupts power to the
inverter and then re-apply power.
Issues:
(1) If DC link power in inverter does not rise above 180 VDC for 2-
and 3-ton models, 250 VDC for 4- and 5-ton models, within 30
seconds, the outdoor control will display a moderate code.
(2) Capacitors on inverter do not properly charge.
Corrective Actions:
(1) Check for proper main power to outdoor unit and for any loose
electrical connections.
If condition is detected, outdoor unit compressor and fan stop.
Antishort cycle is initiated. If condition occurs 10 times within an
hour, system is locked out.
Indicates poor connection at compressor harness, improper
winding resistance, locked compressor rotor, or flooded
compressor.
To clear, disconnect power to the indoor unit (24VAC power source
to the outdoor control) which will power off the outdoor control and
will open the outdoor unit contactor, which interrupts power to the
inverter and then re-apply power.
Issues:
(1) Indicates power interruption, brownout, poor electrical
connection or loose inverter input wire.
(2) System testing was set up and code was generated when the
reversing valve is de-energized coming out of defrost (code
appears with or without 30 compressor delay).
Corrective Actions:
(1) Check for proper main power to outdoor unit and for any loose
electrical connections.
(2) To clear, disconnect power to the indoor unit (24VAC power
source to the outdoor control) which will power off the outdoor
control and will open the outdoor unit contactor, which
interrupts power to the inverter and then re-apply power.
Error occurs when the DC link capacitor voltage is greater than
480VDC. If condition is detected, outdoor unit compressor and fan
stop. Anti-short cycle is initiated. If condition occurs 10 times within
an hour, system is locked out. System stops.
To clear, disconnect power to the indoor unit (24VAC power source
to the outdoor control) which will power off the outdoor control and
will open the outdoor unit contactor, which interrupts power to the
inverter and then re-apply power.
