Error/Condition

Comments/Troubleshooting

1

Flame sensed when no flame should 

be present

Verify the gas valve is operating and shutting down properly. Flame in 

burner assemble should extinguish promptly at the end of the cycle. 

Check orifices and gas pressure.

2

Pressure switch stuck closed/ inducer 

error

Pressure switch stuck closed. Check switch function, verify inducer is 

turning off.

3

1st-stage pressure switch stuck 

open/inducer error

Check pressure switch function and tubing. Verify inducer is turning on 

the pulling sufficient vacuum to engage switch.

4

Open limit switch

Verify continuity through rollout switch circuit.

5

Open rollout/open fuse detect

Verify continuity through rollout switch circuit, check fuse.

6

1st-stage pressure switch cycle 

lockout

if the first stage pressure switch cycles 5 times (open, closed) during 

one call for heat from the thermostat the control will lockout. Check 

pressure switch for fluttering, inconsistent closure or poor vacuum 

pressure.

7

External lockout (retries)

Failure to sense flame is often caused by carbon deposits on the 

flame sensor, a disconnected or shorted flame sensor lead or a poorly 

grounded furnace. Carbon deposits can be cleaned with emery cloth. 

Verify sensor is not contacting the burner and is located in a good 

position to sense flame. Check sensor lead for shorting and verify 

furnace is grounded properly.

8

External lockout (ignition recycles 

exceeded where flame is established 

and then lost)

Check items for exceeded retries listed above and verify valve is not 

dropping out allowing flame to be established and then lost.

9

Grounding or Reversed polarity

Verify the control and furnace are properly grounded. Check and 

reverse polarity (primary) if incorrect.

10

Module gas valve contacts energized 

with no call for heat

Verify valve is not receiving voltage from a short. If a valve wiring is 

correct and condition persists, replace module.

11

Limit switch open – possible blower 

failure overheating limit

Possible blower failure, restricted air flow through appliance or 

duct work. Verify continuity through limit switch circuit and correct 

overheating cause.

12

Module Ignitor contact failure

Fault code indicates the module ignitor contacts are not functioning 

properly. Replace module.

Solid

Module - internal fault condition

Module contacts for gas valve not operating or processor fault. Reset 

control. if condition persists replace module.

Rapid

Twinning error

Check wire connections. If condition persists, replace module.

double

2nd-stage Pressure Switch Stuck 

Open/Inducer Error

Check pressure switch function and tubing. Verify inducer is turning on 

and pulling sufficient vacuum to engage switch.

1

Normal Operation with call for first 

stage heat

Normal operation - first stage

2

Normal Operation with call for second 

stage heat

Normal operation - first stage

3

W2 present with no W1

Second stage call for heat on thermostat circuit with no call for first 

stage. Verify dip switches are set for two stage thermostat and check 

thermostat first stage circuit. Configured for a multi-stage thermostat 

the Module will not initiate heating unless first stage call from 

thermostat is received.

4

Y present with no G call

Module will allow cooling to operate with only a "Y signal from the 

thermostat but will also trigger this code. Verify thermostat is energizing 

both "Y" and "G" on call for cool. Check "G" terminal connections.

Rapid

Low flame sense current

Low flame sense current is often caused by carbon deposits on the 

flame sensor, a poorly grounded furnace or a mis-aligned flame sense 

probe. Carbon deposits can be cleaned with emery cloth. Check for 

improve furnace and module ground. Verify sensor is located in or very 

near flame as specified by the appliance manufacturer.

Standby or Call for Cool

Normal operation. Waiting for call from thermostat or receiving 

thermostat call for cool.
