9.0 DIAGNOSTICS & TROUBLESHOOTING
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Check transducer wiring.
Relocate thermistor.
Replace thermistor.
valve operation.
Recover charge, replace filter-drier, evacuate system,
recharge.
Recover charge, replace filter-drier, evacuate system,
recharge
Correct the charge.
Remove restriction in liquid line. Correct the refrigerant
charge.
Remove noncondensible gases.
Size liquid line correctly.
Replace with correct valve.
Verify suction thermistor resistance is correct and
properly attached and insulated to the vapor line.
Replace suction thermistor assembly.
After verifying lack of connectivity, replace the pressure
transducer or harness.
If harness has a short, replace harness
If gauge pressure measurement and the converted
voltage readings at the control are different replace
pressure transducer
If gauge pressure measurement and the converted
voltage readings at the control are the same, replace
the control.
Remove EXV from the system and purge with nitrogen,
replace filter drier, and recharge.
If EXV will not open, validate EXV wiring harness and
rotor resistance between the black wire and the
other 4 wires.
If none of the above rectifies the issue, replace EXV
and filter drier and recharge.
Verify 5Vdc to pressure transducer is present. If not,
replace VSODC.
Change the superheat offset dip switches to increase
superheat.
