1. Applicable model
All models
2. Error detection method
Detection of anomalously low
temperature (resistance) on
outdoor air temperature sensor
3. Condition of error displayed
• When the temperature sensor
detects -45°C or lower for 5
seconds continuously within 2
minutes to 2 minutes 20 seconds
after the compressor ON, the
compressor stops. After 3-minute
delay, the compressor starts again
automatically, but if this anomalous
temperature is detected 3 times
within 40 minutes.
• When -45°C or lower is detected for
5 seconds continuously within 20
seconds after compressor ON.
4. Presumable cause
• Defective outdoor unit control
PCB
• Broken sensor harness or
temperature sensing section
(Check molding.)
• Disconnected wire connection
(connector)
