Diagnostic Codes (Voltage/ Amperage)

Amperage (or Current) Diagnostic Codes
The current sensing portion of the MCS had detected that the motor is pulling more than designed amperage.
Grounded Motor
Faulty/"Demagged" Motor
Damaged MCS Board
I2T (IPM Amperage) Faults
The current sensing portion of the MCS had detected that the motor is pulling the maximum allowable amperage for an
extended period of time.
Dirty or restricted coils
Blocked or restricted Motor
Abnormally high outdoor temperature
Compressor is attached to the MCS with flag terminals for easy access. If you do not get the same
