Full Diagnosis
Gas valve circuit error. The gas valve is not opening or closing correctly, or its circuit has failed.
All Recorded Causes
Inspect the wiring to the gas valve (look for loose or damaged connections). If wiring is secure, the gas valve or control board may be faulty. Replacement of the gas valve or related controls might be necessary (this should be done by a professional).
Verify Before Replacing Parts
- Confirm the exact American Standard model family and furnaces context before acting on a generic code description.
- Walk the entire heating sequence in order instead of jumping straight to the reported code, watching for inspect the wiring to the gas valve (look for loose or damaged connections).
- Verify each safety device and prove where the sequence stops under live operation, including whether if wiring is secure, the gas valve or control board may be faulty.
- After the correction, run the system long enough to confirm the furnaces fault does not return under normal load.
