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
4 flashes *
(pilot off or burner off).
5 flashes *
6 flashes *
Lower tank sensor failure (pilot on
and burner off).
Upper tank sensor failure (pilot on
and 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.
Verify tank sensor is connected to the heater
tank.
Run tank sensor calibration check.
Replace tank sensor and electronic control
module.
Verify tank sensor is connected to electronic
control module.
Verify tank sensor is connected to the heater
tank.
Run tank sensor calibration check.
Replace tank sensor and electronic control
module.
Replace electronic control module.
