START HERE -- If a problem exists, the service technician should always begin
troubleshooting here.
Special Note: All voltmeters are not the same -- your voltage readings will vary. This applies to the entire
content of this troubleshooting manual. They are not absolute values. Correct 115--VAC VOLTAGE, CUR-
RENT, and power MEASUREMENTS CANNOT BE TAKEN ON VARIABLE SPEED FURNACES UN-
LESS USING A TRUE rms METER.
