    Why is my Bryant 340MAV J Furnace showing STATUS CODE 34 IGNITION PROVING FAILURE?
    • H
      hubermelissaAug 18, 2025
      If your Bryant Furnace displays status code 34, indicating an ignition proving failure, you should check several components. Ensure control ground continuity and verify the flame sensor isn't grounded. Clean any oxide buildup on the flame sensor using fine steel wool. Confirm proper flame sense microamps (0.5 microamps D.C. min., 4.0 - 6.0 nominal). Also, check if the gas valve is defective or turned off, inspect the manual valve shut-off, and examine the hot surface ignitor for defects. Verify low inlet gas pressure and ensure adequate flame carryover or smooth ignition. Finally, make sure the Green/Yellow wire is securely connected to the furnace sheet metal.

    What to do if my Bryant 340MAV J displays STATUS CODE 33 LIMIT CIRCUIT FAULT?
    • A
      Ariel SmithAug 20, 2025
      If your Bryant Furnace is showing a status code 33, indicating a limit circuit fault, you should inspect a few things. Check for a restricted vent, ensure proper vent sizing, and look for a loose blower wheel. Excessive wind could also be a factor. Make sure your filter is clean, and the duct system isn't restricted. Examine the blower motor and capacitor for defects. Also, check the switch and connections for any issues. Finally, ensure there's an adequate combustion air supply, and check if the Flame Roll-out Switch is open.

    What does it mean when my Bryant 340MAV J Furnace displays STATUS CODE 21 GAS HEATING LOCKOUT?
    • S
      Steve GutierrezAug 23, 2025
      If your Bryant Furnace is displaying a status code 21, indicating a gas heating lockout, you should check for a mis-wired gas valve and a defective control (valve relay).

    Why does my Bryant 340MAV J show STATUS CODE 45 CONTROL CIRCUITRY LOCKOUT?
    • J
      Janet GilesAug 26, 2025
      The STATUS CODE 45 on your Bryant Furnace indicates a control circuitry lockout. This error auto-resets after one hour due to a gas valve relay stuck open, a flame sense circuit failure, or a software check error. You can try to reset power to clear the lockout. If the status code repeats, consider replacing the control.

    What to do if my Bryant 340MAV J Furnace is showing STATUS CODE 22 ABNORMAL FLAME-PROVING SIGNAL?
    • K
      Katherine JohnsonAug 28, 2025
      If your Bryant Furnace displays status code 22, indicating an abnormal flame-proving signal, check for a leaky gas valve or a stuck-open gas valve.

    What to do if my Bryant 340MAV J Furnace displays STATUS CODE 23 PRESSURE SWITCH DID NOT OPEN?
    • J
      johnsonaustinAug 30, 2025
      If your Bryant Furnace is showing a status code 23, indicating that the pressure switch did not open, check for obstructed pressure tubing or a pressure switch that is stuck closed.

    Why my Bryant Furnace showing STATUS CODE 14 IGNITION LOCKOUT?
    • M
      Michael MartinezSep 2, 2025
      If your Bryant Furnace displays status code 14, it means there is an ignition lockout. The control will automatically reset after three hours.

    What does it mean when my Bryant 340MAV J Furnace displays STATUS CODE 24 SECONDARY VOLTAGE FUSE IS OPEN?
    • J
      jbrownSep 4, 2025
      If your Bryant Furnace is showing a status code 24, which indicates that the secondary voltage fuse is open, check for a short circuit in the secondary voltage (24VAC) wiring.
  • I
    iburtonSep 6, 2025
    Why does my Bryant Furnace blower stay on after power up with STATUS CODE 12?
    • J
      johnstonjustinSep 7, 2025
      If your Bryant Furnace blower runs for 90 seconds after powering up and displays status code 12, it is because the unit is powered up during a call for heat (R-W closed) or R-W opens during blower on-delay.
  • H
    Hannah DavisSep 9, 2025
    What does it mean when my Bryant 340MAV J Furnace STATUS CODE is CONTINUOUS ON?
    • D
      Dale FoxSep 9, 2025
      If your Bryant Furnace has a continuous on status code, it means the control has 24VAC power.
