Malfunction decision 

conditions 

An abnormal inverter compressor drive is detected by a special   

detection circuit, including communication signal detection, 

voltage detection, compressor rotation speed signal detection 

and so on. 

Supposed causes 

 

Wiring mistake 

 

IPM malfunction 

 

Outdoor fan ass’y faulty 

 

Compressor malfunction 

 

Outdoor PCB faulty 

Trouble shooting: 

 

Check the wiring between main PCB 
and compressor  

Correct the connection or replace 

the wires and connectors.

Yes
