1
The outdoor fan motor is
locked.
2
Failure of outdoor fan motor
3
Air flow path is clogged.
4
Rise of ambient temperature
5
Defective thermistor
6
Defective input circuit of
outdoor power circuit board
7
Failure of outdoor fan drive
circuit
12
Check outdoor fan.
3
Check airflow path for cooling.
4
Check if there is something which causes
temperature rise around outdoor unit.
(Upper limit of ambient temperature is 46
:
[114˚F].)
Turn off power, and on again to check if U5
is displayed within 30 minutes.
If U4 is displayed instead of U5, follow the
action to be taken for U4.
5
Check resistance value of thermistor (TH8)
or temperature by microprocessor.
(Thermistor/TH8: Refer to 11-6.)
(SW2 on A-Control Service Tool: Refer to
11-10.)
6
Replace outdoor power circuit board.
7
Replace outdoor controller circuit board.

during compressor operation.
(Detection is inoperative for 10 minutes
of compressor starting process and for 10
minutes after and during defrosting.)
1
Disconnection or contact failure
of connector (TH4/TH32) on
the outdoor controller circuit
board
2
Defective thermistor
3
Defective outdoor controller
circuit board
1
Check connection of connector (TH4/TH32)
on the outdoor controller circuit board.
Check breaking of the lead wire for
thermistor (TH4/TH32). Refer to 11-9.
2
Check resistance value of thermistor (TH4/
TH32) or temperature by microprocessor.
(Thermistor/TH4/TH32: Refer to 11-6.)
(SW2 on A-Control Service Tool: Refer to
11-10.)
3
Replace outdoor controller board.

Open/short of outdoor unit thermistors
(TH3, TH6, TH7, and TH8)
Abnormal if open or short is detected
during compressor operation.
Open detection of thermistors TH3 and
TH6 is inoperative for 10 seconds to 10
minutes after compressor starting and 10
minutes after and during defrosting.
W
Check which unit has abnormality in
its thermistor by switching the mode of
SW2. (PAC-SK52ST)
(Refer to 11-10.)
1
Check connection of connector (TH3,TH6/TH7)
on the outdoor controller circuit board.
Check connection of connector (CN3) on the
outdoor power circuit board.
Check breaking of the lead wire for thermistor
(TH3,TH6,TH7,TH8). Refer to 11-9.
2
Check resistance value of thermistor
(TH3,TH6,TH7,TH8) or check temperature by
microprocessor.
(Thermistor / TH3, TH6, TH7, TH8 : Refer to 11-6.)
(SW2 on A-Control Service Tool: Refer to
11-10.)
3
Replace outdoor controller circuit board.
W
Emergency operation is available in case of
abnormalities of TH3, TH6 and TH7.
Refer to 11-8.
