Part 5 - Diagnosis and Troubleshooting 
 Procedure 4.22.4
 
Compressor top temperature sensor 
and/or discharge pipe temperature 
sensor connections on main PCB are 
loose
1
 
Ensure the sensors are connected 
properly 
Compressor top temperature sensor 
and/or discharge pipe temperature 
sensor have short circuited or failed
2
 
Replace the faulty sensor(s) 
Poor heat insulation of compressor top 
temperature sensor resulting in 
temperature reading lower than actual 
temperature 
Ensure sufficient heat insulation for 
compressor top temperature senor 
Discharge part of the refrigerant. Add oil 
if it leaks during discharge 
Discharge pressure is too high 
Troubleshoot as for a P1 error

Notes:   
1.  Compressor top temperature sensor and discharge pipe temperature  sensor connections are ports CN10  and CN11 on  the  main  PCB (labeled 1  and 2, 
respectively, in Figure 5-2.1 in Part 5, 2.2 “Ports”).   
2.  Measure  sensor  resistance.  If  the  resistance  is  too  low,  the  sensor  has  short-circuited.  If  the  resistance  is  not  consistent  with  the  sensor’s  resistance 
characteristics table, the sensor has failed. Refer to Part 2, 1 “Layout of Functional Components” and to Table 5-5.2 in Part 5, 5.1  “Temperature Sensor 
Resistance Characteristics”. 
3.  To check for excess refrigerant: 
  Re-start the outdoor units. If an R1 or R2 error is displayed upon start-up, there is excess refrigerant in the system. 
  Excess refrigerant causes discharge temperature to be lower than normal, discharge pressure to be higher than normal and suction pressure to be 
higher  than  normal.  For  normal  system  parameters  refer  to  Tables  5-5.4  and  5-5.5  in  Part  5,  5.2  “Normal  Operating  Parameters  of  Refrigerant 
System”.
