Error Code
Method of Error
Detect refrigerant shortage according to a low pressure level or a difference in heat exchanging
Detection temperature from the suction pipe.
Error Decision
Low pressure becomes 0.1 MPa (14.5 psi) or less.
Conditions  Error is not determined. The unit continues the operation.
Supposed
 Refrigerant shortage or refrigerant clogging (wrong piping)
Causes  Defective thermistor
 Defective low pressure sensor
 Defective outdoor unit main PCB
Troubleshooting
Note(s)
1. Check the low pressure value by using pressure gauge in operation.
2. Compare the actual measurement value by pressure sensor with the value by the

Be sure to turn off the power switch before connecting or disconnecting
Caution connectors, or parts may be damaged.
(1) Mount a pressure gauge at the service port on the low
pressure side.
(2) Reset the operation using the remote controller then
restart.
