1、Check whether there is short circuit or open circuit .
2、If the sensor is right, then check whether the sensor is in the right position and connected to PCB board
properly.

1、Observe wether the fan motor can run for a while before the error code, if so,mechanical jamming can be
excluded；
/
2、Check wether the plug of the motor is well connected or not.
3、Changed a new PG motor,if the error code E4 remains,then change the PCB board .
1、Firstly, the IDU and the ODU should be connected properly.
2、Observe the ODU main PCB board, turn on the air conditioner, three lights are all lighted up then off and the
relay pulls in. If not, it is power supply problem.
E5/5E Flash
3.Connect the black signal line S to terminal N of ODU. Turn on the air conditioner, if "5E" is still be reported, the
main PCB board of ODU need to be replaced.
4.Check the IDU main PCB board,replace it.
1. The three compressor wires should be red to U, blue to V, black to W, or it will lead to reversal of compressor.
Reverse any two phases to see whether the problem can be solved.
2. The voltage between L and N on the terminal board of the ODU must be within 10% tolerance of the rated
voltage. Check the pressure of the system.
3. Check whether the module board is well fixed on the radiator, whether the condensor and the evaporator are
F1 clean enough.
4. If the error code F1 is reported immediately after turn on the air conditioner, you should observe whether
there is any damage around the module board.Mrasure the resistance between each two wires of compressor,it
should be same and very small. Then check the insulation of three compressor wire to the ground wire. Check
the reactor.
5. Change a new module board instead,if the fault code disappears,it's the problem of the module board.
1、 test whether the power supply voltage is fluctuate wildly or the voltage is too low (less than alternating
current 135 v)；
2、 reactor is one of the core parts in PFC, please check whether there is any damage to the reactor itself,
whether the connecting wire of reactor well connected which causes the malfunction of PFC. Reactor can not be
removed and replaced by short circuit directly；
3、if "PFC protection fault" is reported immediately after the start up of the air conditioner, it can be basically
defined as a substantive fault which has nothing to do with the power supply voltage and the system
F2 pressure.Please observed whether there is obvious lighting damaged device around PFC board；
4、Test whether the power supply of 15 V, 5 V (3.3 V) on PFC board is stable to eliminate the problem of supply
of external main control board which causes the malfunction of PFC fault；
5、 Normal PFC board can be used to replace the original one for testing. If the test is normal after replacing the
PFC board, it indicateds that the original PFC board is damanged；
6、There exists probability that there are problems in power supply of 15V or 5V of module board that leads to
the malfunction of the control power of PFC board
7、 Some module board integrates PFC function and compressor driving function together, then the intergrated
module board can be changed directly；

F3 Refer to F1 fault
1.lack or excess refrigerant may lead this problem.
F4
2.Check whether the exhaust tem sensor is short circuit or open circuit.
F5 The test points are the same as that of common sensors.
F6 The test points are the same as that of common sensors.
1、check the power voltage, it must be within 10% tolerance of the rated voltage.
2、The voltage between P-N on module board is above 280VDC. If the voltage is lower, the PFC circuit
F7 is damaged；
3、 If "F7" is reported once the air conditioning is powered on and the power voltage is not lower than
150 V measured by multi-meter, it may be the problem of main PCB of ODU.
1.Ccheck whether the communication connecting wire ( mostly 4 core) between module board and main control
board is loose or the cable is loose.
2. use a multi-meter to measure whether the power supply introduced from main control board is normal,
especially whether the power of 5V has been led to module board. Find "5V" and "GND" on the module board
F8 and test whether the voltage of 5V on the module is normal；
3、 Use normal module board to replace the module board on the malfunctioned air conditioning board. When
the external machine is powered on, if communication failure disappears, it indicates that the problem is on the
original module board, if there still exists communication failure, the external main control board should be
replaced；
EEPROM chips are usually welded with the external main control board together. If "external machine EEPROM
F9
fault" is reported,replace the main control board directly can fix it；
1.DC motor usually runs softly. Observe whether the speed of fan is accelerated to the highest speed
when started, if so, the speed feedback signal has not been received by main controller board；
F0
2 .Check the connection between the DC motor and terminal board.
3.change a new motor, if fault is still reported, then replace the main PCB board.
1、 if the fault occurs only on heating modle, On heating modle, please check whether the 4-way valve can be
FA charged with 220V AC. If so , it must be the problem of 4-way valve, if not,replace the main PCB board.
2.Check the sensors.
