closed/open

Pressure switch stuck closed. Check switch func-
tion, verify inducer is turning off.
Pressure switch stuck open. Check pressure switch 
function and tubing. Verify inducer is turning on and 
pulling sufficient vacuum to engage switch.

Failure to sense flame is often caused by carbon 
deposits on the flame sensor, a disconnected or 
shorted flame sensor lead or a poorly grounded 
furnace. Carbon deposits can be cleaned with em-
ery cloth. Verify sensor is not contacting the burner 
and is located in a good position to sense flame. 
Check sensor lead for shorting and verify furnace 
is grounded properly.

Slow flash

Off

Flame sensed with gas 
valve de-energized

Verify the gas is operating and shutting down prop-
erly. Flame in burner assembly should extinguish 
promptly at the end of the cycle. Check orifices and 
gas pressure. 

On

Slow flash

Open rollout switch

Verify continuity through rollout switch circuit.

On

Module – internal fault 
condition

Module contacts for gas valve not operating or 
processor fault. Reset control, if condition persists, 
replace module. 

Slow flash

Fast flash

Low flame sense current

Low flame sense current is often caused by carbon 
deposits on the flame sensor, a poorly grounded 
furnace or a mis-aligned flame sense probe. 
Carbon deposits can be cleaned with emery cloth. 
Check or improve furnace and module ground. 
Verify sensor is located in or very near flame as 
specified by the appliance manufacturer.

Fast flash

Slow flash

Grounding or reversed 
polarity

Verify the control and furnace are properly ground-
ed. Check and reverse polarity (primary) if incorrect.

Alternate fast 
flash

Alternate fast flash

Module ignitor contact 
failure

 Fault code indicates the module ignitor contacts 
are not functioning properly. Replace module.
