[A thermistor error is detected by checking the temperature being detected by each thermistor.]
Malfunction
Decision
Conditions
When the thermistor input is above 4.96 V or below 0.04 V with the power on, the J3 error is
judged if the discharge pipe thermistor temperature is smaller than the condenser thermistor
temperature, or the system will be shut down if all the units are judged with the J8 error.
Supposed
Causes
" Connector in poor contact
" Thermistor defective
" Outdoor unit PCB defective
" Indoor unit PCB defective
" Condenser thermistor defective in the case of J3 error (outdoor unit heat exchanger
thermistor in the cooling mode, or indoor unit heat exchanger thermistor in the heating
mode)
