Full Diagnosis
Liquid line pressure sensor fault (open or shorted).
All Recorded Causes
Check the wiring to the pressure transducer. Replace the sensor if confirmed bad; a technician should verify system pressures and operation.
Verify Before Replacing Parts
- Confirm the exact American Standard model family and ac and heat pump context before acting on a generic code description.
- Verify airflow first, then confirm operating pressures and temperature relationship before adjusting charge, since check the wiring to the pressure transducer.
- Look for restrictions, iced coils, or dirty heat-transfer surfaces that can mimic a charge problem, and separately confirm replace the sensor if confirmed bad; a technician should verify system pressures and opera….
- After the correction, run the system long enough to confirm the ac and heat pump fault does not return under normal load.
