  tony75Aug 17, 2025
  If the Trane Technologies Thermostat displays “--F” or “--C” flashes, it means the temperature is outside of the measurable range. If using a remote temperature sensor, ensure the temperature is within the measurable range and check or replace the sensor. If using a local temperature reading, and the temperature is within range, have the thermostat serviced or replaced by a qualified Trane supplier.

  Cheryl BestAug 22, 2025
  If your Trane Technologies Thermostat shows error code E1 or “--” flashing in the humidity display, it indicates that the humidity reading is outside of the measurable range or there is an error with the humidity sensor. For an internal humidity sensor, try power cycling the thermostat. For an external sensor, check the Hs and Hp terminals and ensure the remote humidity sensor is not damaged; replace it if needed. If the issue persists, have the thermostat serviced or replaced by a qualified Trane supplier.
