HI DISCH TEMP
This error indicates the equipment is
experiencing frequent high discharge
temperature faults.
Discharge thermistor is not put on
correct position.
• Discharge thermistor inoperable or
improperly connected
• Discharge thermistor is put on incorrect
position or off
• Low refrigerant charge
• Overcharge
• Faulty compressor
• Check discharge thermistor resistance
and connections; Repair/replace as
needed
• Check discharge thermistor position
• Check refrigerant charge level; Adjust if
needed
• Check the compressor; Repair/replace if
needed
23
E23
DISCH TEMP FAIL
The control has detected that the
Discharge Temperature Sensor is out of
range.
• Discharge thermistor inoperable or
improperly connected
• Check discharge thermistor resistance
and connections; Repair/replace as
needed
24
E24
HPS OPEN
The high pressure switch is open.
• High pressure switch (HPS) inoperable
• Check resistance on HPS to verify
operation; Replace if needed
25
E25
AIR SENSOR FLT
The outdoor air temperature sensor is
open
or shorted.
• Faulty outdoor thermistor sensor or
disconnect
• Inspect and test sensor; Replace sensor
if needed
26
E26
PRESSURE SENSOR
The control determines that the pressure
sensor is not reacting properly.
• Low pressure sensor inoperable or not
properly
connected
• Check the connection to low pressure
sensor;
Repair/replace if needed
27
E27
COIL TEMP FAIL1
The control detects that the Outdoor
Defrost Sensor is out of range
• Outdoor defrost thermistor inoperable or
not properly connected
• Check the connection to OD defrost
thermistor; Repair/replace as needed
28
E28
COIL TEMP FAIL2
The control has detected that the
Outdoor
Coil Temperature Sensor is out of range.
• Outdoor coil thermistor inoperable or not
properly connected
• Check the connection to OD coil
thermistor;
Repair/replace if needed
29
E29
LIQ TEMP FAIL
The control has detected that the Liquid
Temperature Sensor is out of range.
• Liquid thermistor inoperable or not
properly
connected
• Check the connection to liquid
thermistor;
Repair/replace if needed
30
E30
OD CTRL FAIL3
Indicates the control board may need to
be replaced.
• Wiring to control board disconnected
• Faulty control board
• Noise
• Check wiring to control board; Repair as
needed
• Replace control board if necessary
31
E31
HI LEAK CURRENT
The control has detected high leakage
current (high voltage).
• Improper ground
• Faulty compressor
• Check ground screws/lugs and wiring;
Repair/replace if needed
• Check the compressor; Repair/replace if
needed
32
E32
HI TEMP CTRL1
This error indicates the equipment is
experiencing high temperature faults on
the outdoor control board.
• Ambient air conditions too high
• Cooling bracket screw(s) missing or not
properly fastened (2-4 ton only)
• No or poor thermal grease coating
between cooling plumbing and cooling
bracket on control board (2-4 ton only)
• Outdoor fan low speed (5 ton only)
• No flow or limited flow through control
board cooling circuit (potential restriction
in line or low refrigerant) (2-4 ton only)
• Stop valve not completely open (2-4 ton
only)
• Cycle power; re-try during usable
ambient temperature range
• Verify cooling bracket screws in place
and secure; Secure fasteners as needed (2-
4 ton only)
• Check thermal grease inside cooling
bracket on control board; Apply
additional grease as needed
• Check outdoor fan motor & wiring;
Repair/replace if needed (5 ton only)
• Check for restriction in line
• Check refrigerant charge level; Adjust if
needed (2-4 ton only)
• Check the opening of stop valve, should
be full open;
Repair/replace if needed (2-4 ton only)

HI TEMP CTRL2
This error indicates the equipment is
experiencing high temperature faults on
the outdoor control board. Control has
determined continued operation is
acceptable. This indicates they may be a
problem with the equipment.
• Ambient air conditions too high
• Cooling bracket screw(s) missing or not
properly fastened (2-4 ton only)
• No or poor thermal grease coating
between cooling plumbing and cooling
bracket on control board (2-4 ton only)
• Outdoor fan low speed (5 ton only)
• No flow or limited flow through control
board cooling circuit (potential restriction
in line or low refrigerant) (2-4 ton only)
• Stop valve not completely open (2-4 ton
only)
• Cycle power; re-try during usable
ambient temperature range
• Verify cooling bracket screws in place
and secure; Secure fasteners as needed (2-
4 ton only)
• Check thermal grease inside cooling
bracket on control board; Apply
additional grease as needed
• Check outdoor fan motor & wiring;
Repair/replace if needed (5 ton only)
• Check for restriction in line
• Check refrigerant charge level; Adjust if
needed (2-4 ton only)
• Check the opening of stop valve, should
be full open;
Repair/replace if needed (2-4 ton only)
34
E34
CURRENT SPIKE
Control board a high current condition.
This indicates the potential for a short
circuit.
• Current spike in supply
• Stop valve not completely open
• The compressor wire is lost phase
• Faulty control board
• Faulty compressor
• Check power supply for in-rush current
during start-up or steady state operation
• Check the opening of stop valve, should
be full open; Repair/replace if needed
• Check the wire between control board
and compressor
• Replace control board if necessary
• Check the compressor; Repair/replace if
needed
35
E35
HIGH CURRENT
Control board detected a high current
condition.
• Short circuit condition
• Stop valve not completely open
• Overcharge
• Faulty control board
• Faulty compressor
• Check installation clearances.
• Check the opening of stop valve, should
be full open; Repair/replace if needed
• Check refrigerant charge level; Adjust if
needed
