17.5.24 Output Over Current Detection (F23)
Malfunction Decision Conditions:
During operation of cooling and heating, when outdoor DC current is above 34A (UX09FE8, UX12FE8, UD09FE8,
UD12FE8, UD16FE8), 54A (UX16FE8) is detected by the IPM DC Peak sensing circuitry in the outdoor unit PCB
(main).
Malfunction Caused:
1 Faulty outdoor unit PCB (main).
2 Faulty compressor.
Abnormality Judgment:
Continue for 7 times.
Troubleshooting:
Check the compressor winding resistance:
- Turn OFF the power and disconnect the
harnesses U, V, and W.
- Measure the winding resistance between
U-V, V-W, and W-U.

Checking the power transistor
Never touch any live parts for at least 10 minutes after turning off the circuit breaker.
If unavoidably necessary touch a live part, make sure the power transistor's supply
voltage is below 50 V using the tester.
For the UVW, make measurements at the Faston terminal on the board or the relay
connector.

For safety reason and to prevent component breakdown,
always switch off the power before remove and connect the component.
Are the compressor's
winding resistance (U-V, V-
W, or U-W) shorted?
No
