 I  Check of outdoor fan motor

Is the resistance between each ter-

minal of outdoor fan motor normal? 

(Refer to 12-4.)

Disconnect CN932 from the inverter P.C. board, and turn on the 

power supply.

Rotate the outdoor fan motor manually and measure the voltage 

of CN931.

Between 1(+) and 5(-)

Between 2(+) and 5(-)

Between 3(+) and 5(-)

Does the voltage between each terminal become 5 and 0 V 

DC repeatedly?

Does the outdoor fan motor rotate smoothly?

Replace the outdoor fan motor.

Replace the inverter P.C. board.

Yes

Yes

No

(Fixed to either 5 or 0 V DC)

No

No

Yes

Disconnect the connectors CN931 

and CN932 from the inverter P.C. 

board.

Check the connection between the 

connector CN931 and CN932.
