replaced as a whole.
Does the error code 
disappear?
Power o, then restart the unit after 2 
minutes.
Measure the DC voltage between N/L2 
and S (black pin to N/L2, red pin to S).
The value is xed and close 
to 0.
The value is alternative
from negative to positive.  
The value is always positive 
Check the wiring connection
between the indoor and 
outdoor units. 
Are they OK?  
between the indoor and outdoor 
Check the wiring connection 
from outdoor terminal to 
outdoor PCB and wiring 
between PCBs if there is 
more than 1 PCB
Check the wiring connection
from indoor terminal to indoor
PCB. Are they OK?  
Turn on the unit, check if W 
and 1(L) are connected.
Check that the power
LED is on. 
No
Yes
Yes
Unplug all the high voltage
components connected to the 
main PCB ( 4-way valve,  heater, 
AC fan) one by one to check 
their resistance.  Has any 
component short circuit?   
Unplug the electronic expansion 
valve. Check if the power LED is on. 
No
No
Check the AC voltage of  L, N 
output to IPM board. Is it the
same as the power input?
Check the DC 5V, 12V 
from IPM board to main 
PCB. Are they OK?
Unplug all the high voltage  
components connected to main 
PCB (4 way valve, heater, AC fan) 
one by one to check their resistance.
Has any component short circuited? 
Yes
No
Unplug electronic expansion valve. 
Check if the DC 5V, 12V to the main
PCB are ok. 
Replace short-circuited
component and main
PCB.
