Diagnosis of malfunction
code
E0 Signal transmitting/receiving
error
(Indoor controller does not
respond to remote controller
signal.)
P1 Abnormality of room temper-
ature thermistor (RT1)
P2 Abnormality of indoor coil
thermistor (RT2)
P3 Signal transmission error
(Remote controller does not
respond to indoor controller
signal.)
P4 Abnormality of drain sensor
P5 Malfunction of drain pump
P6 Freezing protection/
overheating protection
is working.
P7 System error
P8 Abnormality in outdoor unit
Cause
During individual unit control
1) Bad contact of transmission
wire
2) Signal transmitting/receiving cir-
cuit is abnormal.
1) Bad contact of thermistor
2) Damaged thermistor
1) Bad contact of transmission
wire
2) Signal transmitting/receiving cir-
cuit is abnormal.
3) Wrong operation due to noise
wave emitted by other appli-
ances
1) Bad contact of transmission
wire
2) Damaged thermistor
1) Malfunction of drain pump
2) Damaged drain sensor
1) Short cycle of air cycle

Check points
1) Check the transmission wire.
2) Check with another remote controller. If "E0" is
still indicated, replace the indoor controller
board.
If other check code appears. replace the origi-
nal remote controller.
1) Check the thermistor.
2) Measure the resistance of the thermistor.
Normal resistance should be as follows.
32°F····15kΩ 86°F·····4.3kΩ
50°F······9.6kΩ 104°F ···3.0kΩ
68°F······6.3kΩ
If the resistance is normal, replace the indoor
controller board.
1) Check the transmission wire.
2) Check with another remote controller.
If "P3" is still indicated, replace the indoor
board.
If other check code appears, replace the origi-
nal remote controller.
1 and 2 of CN40 and
3) Short-circuit between
attach CN40 to the following units.
Second unit in twin control
Second and third units in triple control
Sub units in group control
1) Check the connector.
2) Measure the resistance of the thermistor 1 - 3.
32°F ···6kΩ 59°F ···3.2kΩ 86°F ···1.8kΩ
41°F ···4.8kΩ 68°F ···2.6kΩ 95°F ···1.5kΩ
50°F ···3.9kΩ 77°F ···2.2kΩ 104°F 1.3kΩ
If the resistance is normal, replace the indoor
controller board.
1) Check the drain pump.
2) Check the drain sensor.
(Check the drop of water is on.)
If the resistance is normal, replace the indoor
controller board.
1) Clear obstructions from the air cycle.
2) Clean the air filter
3) Check the fan.
4) Check the refrigerant temperature.
1) Check the address-setting.
2) Check with another remote controller. If check
code other than "P7" appears, replace the origi-
nal remote controller.
3) Check SW6 setting.
1) Check the indoor/outdoor connecting wire.
2) Change the connection of electric wiring.
3) Check the protection device.
4) Measure the resistance of the outdoor coil ther-
mistor. If the resistance is normal, replace the
outdoor controller board.
