STEP
1. Step 1 tells us to record status of LEDs 1-4 and go to Step 2.
Step 2 asks the question, "Are any LEDs flashing?". If low-pressure switch was
2. defective, a low-pressure switch fault code would be flashing, so the answer is
"YES." We go to Step 5.
Step 5 asks the question, "Is RED LED2 flashing?". If low-pressure switch was
5. defective, a low-pressure switch fault code would be flashing, so the answer is
"NO". We go to Step 7.
7. Step 7 tells us to go to low-pressure switch fault subsection.
Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.

INSTRUCTIONS
This guide uses your expertise and observations to lead you to the
trouble spot as efficiently as possible. This is only intended as a
guide and should not be used blindly. Your experience and
expertise are of high value when troubleshooting this unit. Do not
disregard all of your instincts.
The microprocessor furnace control was designed with diagnostic
capabilities built in. LEDs are used to flash a fault code which will
lead you to 1 of the subsections as listed in the Index.
You should ALWAYS begin in the START HERE subsection
(see Index for page number) which will guide you to the
appropriate subsection where a minimal number of steps will be
used to correct the problem. If you are very experienced at how
this furnace operates and you suspect the problem is either the
blower motor, inducer motor, or furnace control board, you can use
the quick motor test procedure at the end of the troubleshooting
guide to isolate the problem or direct you to appropriate section in
main troubleshooting guide.
Once in a subsection, read the statement or question. A statement
will have a number in the "GO TO" column. Do whatever the
statement says, then proceed to step indicated in the "GO TO"
column.
If the step is a question (a question will have a number in the
"YES" or "NO" column), answer it "YES" or "NO." If the answer
is "YES," go to step indicated in "YES" column. If the answer is
"NO," go to step indicated in "NO" column.
Let's try our guide out using the EXAMPLE section below, and
see how it works. Suppose that the problem is a defective
low-pressure switch (for example will not make). This is an
internal problem and cannot simply be seen. We go to the START
HERE section to Step 1.
