3. Using a voltmeter, measure the voltage across the hot
and neutral connections.
NOTE: To energize the furnace, the Door Interlock Switch
must be engaged at this point.
4. No reading - indicates open wiring, open fuse, no pow-
er, or faulty Door Interlock Switch from unit to fused
disconnect service. Repair as needed.
5. With ample voltage at line voltage connectors, energize
the furnace blower motor by jumpering terminals R to
G on the integrated ignition control.
6. With the blower motor in operation, the voltage should
be 115 volts ± 10 percent.
7. If the reading falls below the minimum voltage, check
the line wire size. Long runs of undersized wire can
cause low voltage. If wire size is adequate, notify the
local power company of the condition.
8. After completing check and/or repair, replace Junction
Box cover and reinstall the service panel doors.
9. Turn on electrical power and verify proper unit operation.

the thermostat low voltage wires located at the furnace
integrated control module terminals.
2. Remove the thermostat low voltage wires at the furnace
control panel terminal board.
3. Jumper terminals R to W on the integrated ignition control.

4. Induced Draft Motor must run and pull in pressure
switch.
5. If the hot surface igniter heats and at the end of the
igniter warm-up period the gas valve opens and the
burners ignite, the trouble is in the thermostat or wiring.
6. With power off, check the continuity of the thermostat
and wiring. Repair or replace as necessary.
If checking the furnace in the air conditioning mode, pro-
ceed as follows.
7. With power off, Jumper terminals R to Y to G.
8. Turn on the power.
9. If the furnace blower motor starts and the condensing
unit runs, then the trouble is in the thermostat or wiring.
Repair or replace as necessary.
10. After completing check and/or repair of wiring and
