Abnormal point and detection method
Error Code
Room temperature
thermistor (TH1)
1 The unit is in three-minute resume
prevention mode if short/open of
thermistor is detected. Abnormal if the
unit does not reset normally after three
minutes. (The unit returns to normal
operation, if it has normally reset.)
Constantly detected during cooling,
2
drying and heating operation
Short: 90°C or more
P1
Open: -40°C or less
Pipe temperature
thermistor/Liquid (TH2)
The unit is in three-minute resume
1
prevention mode if short/open of
thermistor is detected. Abnormal if the
unit does not reset normally after three
minutes. (The unit returns to normal
operation, if it has normally reset.)
Constantly detected during cooling,
2
drying, and heating (except defrosting)
P2
operation.
Short: 90°C or more
Open: -40°C or less
Contact failure of drain float switch (CN4F)
Extract when the connector of drain float
1
switch is disconnected.
P4
( and of connector CN4F is not

(5701)
short-circuited.)
Constantly detected during operation.
2
Drain overflow protection operation
Suspensive abnormality, if drain float
1
switch is detected to be underwater for 1
minute and 30 seconds continuously
with drain pump on.
Turn off compressor and indoor fan.
Drain pump is abnormal if the condition
2
above is detected during suspensive
abnormality.
3 Constantly detected during drain pump
P5
operation.

Breaking of wire or contact
3
failure of thermistor wiring
4 Defective refrigerant circuit is
causing thermistor temperature
of 90 °C or more or -40°C or

Countermeasure
– Check resistance value of thermistor.

0°C ·····15.0kΩ
10°C ····9.6kΩ
20°C ····6.3kΩ
30°C ····4.3kΩ
40°C ····3.0kΩ
If you put force on (draw or bend) the lead wire
with measuring resistance value of thermistor
breaking of wire or contact failure can be
detected.
Check contact failure of connector (CN20) on
2
the indoor controller board. Refer to 5. Test
point diagram.
Turn the power on again and check restart
after inserting connector again.
4 Check room temperature display on remote
controller.
Replace indoor controller board if there is
abnormal difference with actual room
temperature.
Turn the power off, and on again to operate
after check.
– Check resistance value of thermistor.
1 3
For characteristics, refer to (P1) above.
Check contact failure of connector (CN44) on
2
the indoor controller board. Refer to 5. Test
point diagram.
Turn the power on again and check restart
after inserting connector again.
4 Check pipe <liquid> temperature with remote
controller in test run mode. If pipe <liquid>
temperature is extremely low (in cooling
mode) or high (in heating mode), refrigerant
circuit may have defective.
5 Check pipe <liquid> temperature with remote
controller in test run mode. If there is extreme
difference with actual pipe <liquid> temperature,
replace indoor controller board.
Turn the power off, and on again to operate
after check.
Check contact failure of float switch connec-
1
tor.
Turn the power on again and check after
inserting connector again.
2 Operate with connector (CN4F) short-circuited.
Replace indoor controller board if abnormali-
ty reappears.
Check if drain-up machine works.

2 Check drain function.
Remove drain float switch connector CN4F
3
and check if it is short (Switch On) with the
moving part of float switch UP, or OPEN with
the moving part of float switch down.
Replace float switch if it is short with the
moving part of float switch down.
Replace indoor controller board if it is short-

switch connector CN4F and abnormality
reappears.
It is not abnormal if there is no problem about
the above-mentioned ~
