NO PREVIOUS FAULT

 - Faults

are erased after 48 hrs or

whenever power (115V or 24V)

is interrupted. Run system

through a heating or cooling

cycle to recheck system.

12

BLOWER ON AFTER POWER

UP (115V OR 24V)

 - Normal 

operation.  Blower will run for 90

sec when furnace power is

interrupted during a call for heat

and R-W closes.

13

LIMIT OR FLAME ROLLOUT

SWITCH LOCKOUT 

- Limit

switch was open longer than

3 minutes. Auto-reset will occur

after 3 hrs. Flame rollout switch

requires manual reset.

        See No. 33

14

IGNITION LOCKOUT 

- System

failed to ignite gas and prove

flame in 4 attempts. Control will

auto-reset in 3 hrs.

        See No. 34

21

GAS HEATING LOCKOUT 

Turn off power and wait 5

minutes to retry.

Check for:

Unplug ignitor harness from control

center and inititate another 

component test sequence and check

for 115v between pins 1 and 2 on

the board.  Was there 115v present

for the 17 sec period? 

Replace control board. 

Check for continuity in the harness

and ignitor. Replace defective

component.

Reconnect the R thermostat lead

and set thermostat to call for heat.

Connect voltmeter across gas valve

connections.  Does gas valve

receive 24v?

Check connections. If OK, replace

control board.

Does gas valve open and allow gas

to flow?

Check that all gas valves are turned

on. Replace valve.

Do main burners ignite?

Do main burners stay on?  

Allow blower to come on and repeat

test to check for intermittent

operation. 

Repeat call for heat and check flame

sensor current during trial for ignition

period.  Is the dc microamperes

below 0.5? 

Check connections and retry. If 

current is near typical value and

control will not stay on, replace

control board. 

Clean flame sensor with fine

sandpaper and recheck current. 

Current is nominally 4.0 to 6.0

microamps.

Is current near typical value?

Replace electrode.

Will main burner ignite and stay on?

Replace control board.

Fixed.

Stuck closed gas valve relay

on control.

Miswire or short to gas valve

wire.

22

ABNORMAL FLAME PROVING

SIGNAL 

- Flame was sensed

while gas valve was

de-energized. Inducer will run

until fault is cleared.

Check for:

Stuck open gas valve solenoid

or leak.

Defective control board.

23

PRESSURE SWITCH WILL

NOT OPEN 

- Check for:

Disconnected or obstructed

pressure tubing.

Defective pressure switch.

24

LOW-VOLTAGE FUSE IS

OPEN 

- Check for:

Short in low-voltage wiring

including thermostat leads

shorting to ductwork or

furnace cabinet. Disconnect

thermostat leads to isolate

short circuit.

31

PRESSURE, DRAFT 

SAFEGUARD (WHEN USED),

OR AUXILIARY LIMIT (WHEN

USED) SWITCH WILL NOT 

CLOSE OR REOPEN 

- If open

longer than 5 minutes, inducer 

shuts off for 15 minutes before

retry.

Check for:

Proper vent sizing or pitch or

sag.

Vent restrictions or high winds.

Defective inducer motor.

Low-line voltage (115v).

Motor start capacitor.

Low inlet gas pressure.

Defective pressure switch or

connections. If it opens after

trial for igniton period, blower

will come on for 90 sec

recycle delay.

Inadequate combustion air

(for draft safeguard and

auxiliary limit switches only).

33

LIMIT OR FLAME ROLLOUT

SWITCH IS OPEN 

- If  limit 

switch is open longer than 3

minutes, code changes to No. 13.

Check for:

Blower motor failure.

Motor start capacitor.

Open flame rollout switch,

manual reset.

Dirty filter.

Defective limit switch or 

connections.

Loose blower wheel.

34

IGNITION PROVING FAILURE 

-

If flame is not sensed during the

trial for ignition period, the control

will repeat the ignition sequence

3 more times before going into

lockout, No. 14.

If flame signal is lost after trial for

ignition period, blower will come

on for 90 sec recycle delay.

Check for the following items first

before proceding to the next step.

Gas valve turned off.

Manual shut-off valve.

Green wire must be connected

to furnace sheet metal.

To determine whether the

problem is in the gas valve,

igniter, or flame sensor, the

system can be operated in the

component test mode to check

out the ignitor. First, remove the

R thermostat connection from the

control board and initiate the

component test sequence.  Does

the ignitor glow orange/white hot

by the end of the 17 sec warm-up

period?

Check for:

Inadequate flame carryover on

rough ignition.

Low inlet gas pressure.
