1
The outdoor fan motor is
locked.
2
Failure of outdoor fan motor
3
Air flow path is clogged.
4
Rise of ambient temperature
5
Defective thermistor
6
Defective input circuit of
outdoor power circuit board
7
Failure of outdoor fan drive
circuit
12
Check outdoor fan.
3
Check airflow path for cooling.
4
Check if there is something which causes
temperature rise around outdoor unit.
(Upper limit of ambient temperature is 114˚F
[46
:
].)
Turn off power, and on again to check if U5
is displayed within 30 minutes.
If U4 is displayed instead of U5, follow the
action to be taken for U4.
5
Check resistance value of thermistor (TH8)
or temperature by microprocessor.
(Thermistor/TH8: Refer to "10-6. HOW TO
CHECK THE PARTS".)
(SW2 on A-Control Service Tool: Refer
to "10-10. FUNCTION OF SWITCHES,
CONNECTORS AND JUMPERS".
6
Replace outdoor power circuit board.
7
Replace outdoor controller circuit board.
U3
(5104)
Open/short circuit of outdoor unit
temperature thermistor (TH32)
Abnormal if open (37˚F [3
:
] or less) or
short (422˚F [217
:
] or more) is detected
during compressor operation.
(Detection is inoperative for 10 minutes
of compressor starting process and for 10
minutes after and during defrosting.)

1
Disconnection or contact failure
of connectors (TH32) on
the outdoor controller circuit
board
2
Defective thermistor
3
Defective outdoor controller
circuit board
1
Check connection of connector (TH32) on the
outdoor controller circuit board. Check break-
ing of the lead wire for TH32. Refer to "10-9.
TEST POINT DIAGRAM".
2
Check resistance value of TH32 or
temperature by microprocessor.
(Thermistor/TH32: Refer to "10-6. HOW TO
CHECK THE PARTS".) (SW2 on A-Control
Service Tool: Refer to "10-10. FUNCTION
OF SWITCHES, CONNECTORS AND
JUMPERS".)
3
Replace outdoor controller board.

Open/short of outdoor unit thermistors
(TH3, TH6, TH7, TH8 and TH33 )
Abnormal if open or short is detected
during compressor operation.
Open detection of thermistors TH3 and
TH6 is inoperative for 10 seconds to 10
minutes after compressor starting and 10
minutes after and during defrosting.
Note: Check which unit has abnormality in
its thermistor by switching the mode
of SW2. (PAC-SK52ST) (Refer to
"10-10. FUNCTION OF SWITCHES,
CONNECTORS AND JUMPERS".)
1
Check connection of connector (TH3,TH6/TH7,
TH33) on the outdoor controller circuit board.
Check connection of connector (CN3) on the
outdoor power circuit board.
Check breaking of the lead wire for thermis-
tor (TH3,TH6,TH7,TH8, TH33). Refer to "10-
9. TEST POINT DIAGRAM".
2
Check resistance value of thermistor
(TH3,TH6,TH7,TH8, TH33) or check tem-
perature by microprocessor.
(Thermistor / TH3, TH6, TH7, TH8, TH33 : Refer
to "10-6. HOW TO CHECK THE PARTS".)
(SW2 on A-Control Service Tool: Refer
to "10-10. FUNCTION OF SWITCHES,
CONNECTORS AND JUMPERS".)
3
Replace outdoor controller circuit board.
Note: Emergency operation is available in case
of abnormalities of TH3, TH6, TH7 and
TH33. Refer to "10-8. EMERGENCY
OPERATION".
