TABLE 5 Continued 
Ignition Control 103130-XX Diagnostic Codes
Code Diagnostic Codes/Status of Equipment Action Required to Clear and Recover
E271 Soft lockout - Exceeded maximum number of re-
tries. Last retry failed due to the pressure switch 
opening.
Check pressure (inches w.c.) of low pressure switch clos-
ing on heat call. Measure operating pressure (inches w.c.). 
Inspect vent and combustion air inducer for correct oper-
ation  and  restriction.  Clears  when  heat  call  nishes  suc-
cessfully.
E272 Soft lockout - Exceeded maximum number of re-
cycles.  Last  recycle  due  to  the  pressure  switch 
opening.
Check operation of low pressure switch to see if it is stuck 
closed on heat call. Check pressure (inches w.c.) of high 
pressure  switch  closing  on  heat  call.  Measure  operating 
pressure  (inches  w.c.).  Inspect  vent  and  combustion  air 
inducer for correct operation and restriction. Clears when 
heat call nishes successfully.
E273 Soft lockout - Exceeded maximum number of re-
cycles. Last recycle due to ame failure.
Check micro-amperes of ame sensor using control diag-
nostics  or  eld-installed  mode.  Clean  or  replace  sensor. 
Measure voltage of neutral to ground to ensure good unit 
ground. Clears when heat call nishes successfully.
E274 Soft lockout - Exceeded maximum number of re-
cycles. Last recycle failed due to the limit  circuit 
opening or limit remained open longer than 3 min-
utes
Shut  down  system.  1-hour  soft  lockout.  Check  ring  rate 
and  air  ow.  Check  for  blockage.  Clears  when  heat  call 
nishes successfully.
E275 Soft  lockout  -  Flame  sensed  out  of  sequence. 
Flame signal is gone.
Shut o gas. Check for gas valve leak. 1-hour soft lockout. 
Clears when ame has been proven stable.
E276 Watchguard calibration failure. Unable to perform pressure switch calibration. Check vent 
system and pressure switch wiring connections. 1-hour soft 
lockout. Clears when calibration has nished successfully.
E290 Ignitor circuit fault - Failed ignitor or triggering cir-
cuitry.
Measure resistance of hot surface ignitor. Replace if open 
or  not  within  specications.  1-hour  soft  lockout.  Clears 
when ame has been proven stable.
E291 Heat air ow restricted below the minimum. Check for dirty lter and air ow restriction. Check blower 
performance. 1-hour soft lockout. Cleared when heat call 
nishes successfully.
E292 Indoor  blower  motor  unable  to  start  due  to  ob-
structed wheel, seized bearings.
Indoor blower motor unable to start (seized bearing, stuck 
wheel, etc.). Replace motor or wheel if assembly does not 
operate or meet performance standards. 1-hour soft lock-
out. Clears after circulator successfully starts.
E294 Combustion air inducer over current. Check combustion blower bearings, wiring and amps. Re-
place  if  does  not  operate  or  does  not  meet  performance 
standards. Clears after inducer current is sensed to be in-
range after the ignition following the soft lockout or reset.
E295 Indoor blower motor temperature is too high. Indoor  blower  motor  over  temperature  (motor  tripped  on 
internal protector). Check motor bearings and amps. Re-
place if necessary. Cleared after blower demand is satis-
ed.
E310 Discharge error temperature sensor failure. Only 
shown if shorted or
out of range.
Compare  outdoor  sensor  resistance  to  temperature/  re-
sistance charts in installation instructions. Replace sensor 
if  necessary.  Cleared  in  Communicating  mode:  30  sec-
onds after fault recovered. In Non- Communicating mode: 
Cleared after the current heat call is completed.
E311 Heat rate reduced to match indoor blower air ow. Warning  Only.  Furnace  blower  in  cutback  mode  due  to 
restricted airow.  Reduce  ring rate every 60 seconds to 
match  available  CFM.  Check  lter  and  duct  system.  To 
clear,  replace  lter  if needed or repair/ add duct. 2-stage 
controls  will  reduce  ring  rate  to  1st  stage.  Clears  when 
heat call nishes successfully.
