Fault Code Recall
Accessing the furnace's diagnostic menu provides access to the last six faults detected by the furnace. Faults are stored
most recent to least recent, Any consecutively repeated fault is stored a maximum of three times. EXAMPLE: A clogged
return air filter causes the furnace limit to trip repeatedly. The control will only store this fault the first three consecutive
times the fault occurs. NOTE: It is highly recommended that the fault history be cleared when performing
maintenance or servicing the furnace.
