AUTOMATIC ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS
The face plate computer has a self-diagnostic
function for the electrical system (except input
power and water meter). The computer monitors the
electronic components and circuits
for correct operation. If a malfunc- _.._ i"t__
tion occurs, an error code appears I_| I U_
in the face plate display.
The chart below shows the em)r codes that couM
appear, and the possible ctefects for each code.
While an error code appears in the display, all face
plate buttons are inoperable except the SELECT
button. The SELECT button remains operational so
the service person can make the Manual Initiated
Electronic Diagnostics to further isolate the defect,
and check the water meter.
