Does furnace have the proper limit switch, limit shield,
blower baffle (if used), and rear air baffle (if used)? If so,

Lockout may have been caused by excessive return-air re-
striction. Check all dampers, filters, and return-air grilles for
31
blockage. Add more return-air openings if necessary. Use
Appendix D to evaluate external static pressure. Reference
status code 33 for additional troubleshooting steps.
Status Code 14
IGNITION LOCKOUT – This status code indicates the furnace failed to ignite gas and/or prove flame in 4 attempts. The variable speed
furnace control will auto-reset in 3 hours. If the inducer motor is not running during lockout refer to status code 34.
If the inducer motor is running at full speed during lockout this indicates that flame sense was lost 3 times within 60 minutes of cumulative
gas valve operating time after the gas valve was already ON for 70 seconds. It is usually caused by flame rollout that causes loss of flame sense
before the flame rollout switch can trip.
Status Code 15
BLOWER MOTOR LOCKOUT – This status code indicates the blower failed to reach 250 RPM or the blower failed to communicate to
the variable speed furnace control within 30 seconds after being turned ON in two successive heating cycles. Control will auto reset after 3
hours. Refer to status code 41.
Status Code 21
GAS HEATING LOCKOUT - This status code indicates the main gas valve relay MGVR on the variable speed furnace control is stuck closed
or there is a miswire/short to gas valve wiring. Make sure the BLUE wire goes to the gas valve M terminal and the GREEN/YELLOW wire
goes to the gas valve C terminal. The variable speed furnace control will NOT auto-reset.
