Is there no sign of
the indoor response on the display
during tracking?
Check the communication cable
which connects the outdoor unit to the indoor unit.
If there is no peculiarity, then connect the indoor units one by one
to find the indoor unit that is interfering with the communication for
inspection and change the indoor unit PCB.
Is the voltage between
the 2 cables a square wave with
