8001
Recoverable condition.
Software has detected an
unexpected condition.
Use RS-232 diagnostic report (DRPT)
command to obtain detailed information
and contact technical support.
8002
Alarm corrupt status.
Replace CPU PCB.
8003
Software option button failure or
attempt to reuse button.
Use RS-232 diagnostic report (DPRT)
command to obtain detailed information
and contact technical support.
8004
Insufficient blower current.
Blower startup is confirmed by
comparing current draw before and
after blower startup.
1. If this code is accompanied by a
1012 code in the diagnostic log, see
“Diagnostic Code 1012
Troubleshooting” on page 6-24.
2. If this code is not accompanied by a
1012 code, disregard.
9xxx: Flow Sensor Faults (Vent Inop. - All)
9001
Flash programming error.
An error occurred while writing flow
sensor calibration data to memory.
Replace CPU PCB.
9002
Flow sensor mismatch.
The calibration (lookup) tables
stored on the flow sensor and CPU
do not match.
1. Reprogram the CPU flow sensor
tables by powering up in diagnostic
mode.
2. Slave in a known-good flow sensor
and cable to each connector (J10,
J11, J12) on the sensor PCB, then
power up until diagnostic mode is
accessible.
3. Replace the sensor PCB.
4. Replace the CPU PCB.
5. Replace the main PCB.
9003
Flow sensor failure.
Flow sensor data is not being
communicated to the CPU.
1. Attempt to access diagnostic mode/
EST (Chapter 5).
2. Slave in a known-good flow sensor
and cable to each connector (J10,
J11, J12) on the sensor PCB, then
power up until diagnostic mode is
accessible.
3. Replace the sensor PCB.
4. Replace the CPU PCB.
5. Replace the analog PCB.
6. Replace the main PCB.
9004
Pressure sensor failure.
A/D converter out of range.
1. Replace sensor PCB.
2. Replace analog PCB.
