ERROR

MODE/STATUS

POSSIBLE CAUSES

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

E0

EEPROM Error
(Data Storage)

Chip or Main Board 1 damage

Replace Main Board 1.

E1

PFC protection

PFC board damage

Replace PFC board.

E2

Communication error between 
outdoor and indoor unit

Power OFF on indoor or outdoor unit

Turn the power ON for indoor or outdoor unit.

Control cable of wrong type

Use shielded cable and provide proper grounding.

Incorrect signal wire polarity

Reconnect signal wires with correct polarity.

Signal wire continuity broken

Replace the signal wire.

Main Board 1 damage

Replace Main Board 1.

E3

Communication error between 
Main Board 1 and Main Board 
2

Main Board 2 faulty or damaged (LED 
flashing)

Replace Main Board 2.

Improper voltage between ports P and N 
on IPM

Replace IPM. Correct voltage is 277 v to 345 v.

Loose connection between CN1 port on 
Main Board 2 and IPM

Reconnect or tighten the connection between CN1 ports. 

E4

Condenser temperature sen-
sor (T3 & T4) malfunctioning

Loose connection at port on PC board

Tighten the connections at port on PC board.

Sensor is short-circuited

Using multimeter, measure resistance of the sensor. If the 
resistance is 

 100 ohms, change the sensor.

E5

Outdoor unit voltage
protection

Improper voltage

Voltage measurement between L1 and L2 should be 172 v 
to 265 v.

Filter board may be damaged due to 
improper voltage

Replace filter board.

E6

DC fan motor (outdoor unit) 
malfunctioning

Incorrect fan motor wiring

Correct fan motor wiring as per wiring diagram.

Improper supply voltage between fan 
motor red and black terminals

Voltage should measure between 277 v and 354 v during 
standby state. If not, replace the PFC.

Improper voltage between fan motor 
white and black terminals

Voltage should measure 15V during standby state. If not, 
replace the IPM.

Improper voltage between fan motor yel-
low and black terminals

Voltage should measure 

 2.4 v. If not, replace fan motor.

E7

Heating mode at high ambient 
temperature

Call for heating when ambient tempera-
ture is above 80 F

Switch the heating mode to cooling.

P0

Radiator high temperature 
protection

Sensor is short-circuited

Using multimeter, measure resistance of sensor. If the 
resistance is 



100 ohms



change the sensor.

Radiator is not connected securely

Connect the radiator securely.

Main Board 1 damage

Replace Main Board 1.

High outdoor ambient temperature

Check operating range of the outdoor unit.

P1

High pressure protection

Incorrect or loose wiring between high 
pressure switch and main control board

Correct or tighten wiring between high pressure switch and 
main control board per wiring diagram.

Broken or faulty high pressure switch

Short the high pressure switch terminal. If the system runs 
normally, replace the high pressure switch.

High outdoor ambient temperature

Check the operating range of the outdoor unit.

P2

Low pressure protection

Incorrect or loose wiring between low 
pressure switch and main control board

Correct or tighten wiring between as per wiring diagram.

Broken or faulty low pressure switch

Short the low pressure switch terminal. If the system runs 
normally, replace the low pressure switch.

Low outdoor ambient temperature

Check the operating range of the outdoor unit.

Lack/loss of refrigerant

Check for leaks.

Clogged strainer

Replace strainer.

P3

Outdoor unit current protec-
tion (>30 A)

Ambient temperature higher than system 
rating

Check ambient temperature. If higher than system rating, 
stop the system and wait for ambient temperature to drop.

Short cycling of air around/over con-
denser

Remove any object blocking proper cycling of air around/
over condenser.

Accumulation of dirt and dust on con-
denser coil

Clean condenser coil to increase heat transfer.

Clogged refrigerant piping

Remove refrigerant from the system, flush the system with 
nitrogen to remove foreign particles, evacuate and 
recharge.

P4

High compressor discharge 
temperature protection 

Lack/loss of refrigerant

Check for leaks.

Incorrect wiring between compressor dis-
charge and PC board

Correct wiring as per wiring diagram.

Sensor is short-circuited

Using multimeter, measure resistance of the sensor. If the 
resistance is 

 100 ohms, change the sensor.
