failure
1.Disconnect the EEV connector form control board and
connect testing LED
2. Main power ON, pulse signal is out from EEV for 17 seconds
If LEDs do not turn on, or are in on state continuously,
then driving circuit is abnormal

1. Operate indoor unit with FAN mode and operate another
indoor unit with COOLING mode
2. Check indoor unit(FAN mode) liquid pipe temperature
(from operation monitor of outdoor unit control board)
3. When fan rotate and EEV is fully closed, if there is any
leakage, then the temperature is down
If measured temperature is very low in comparison with
suction temperature which is displayed at remote
controller then the valve is not fully closed
If the amount of
leakage is much,
Replace EEV

1. Check the Pin fully engaged into connector and check the
color of electric wire
2. After removing the connector on the control board and
check with tester.
1. Check the resistance between coil terminal (Red-White,
Red-Orange, Brow-Yellow, Brown-Blue)
1. Sub cooling EEV : Check the resistance between coil
terminal (Red-White, Red-Yellow, Red-Orange, Red-Blue)
2. If the measured resistance value is in 52 Ω ± 3 %
(@ 20 ℃[68 ℉]), then the EEV is normal.
1. Main / VI EEV : Check the resistance between coil
terminal (Red-White, Red-Orange, Brown-Yellow, Brown-
Blue)
2. If the measured resistance value is in 150 Ω ± 10 %, then
the EEV is normal.
