Full Diagnosis
Suction Temp Sensor Fault. Suction temperature sensor fault detected.
All Recorded Causes
Check suction temperature sensor wiring and connector for damage or corrosion. Measure sensor resistance against temperature/resistance chart. Verify sensor is properly positioned on suction line. Replace sensor if out of specification.
Verify Before Replacing Parts
- Confirm the exact Bryant model family and air conditioners context before acting on a generic code description.
- Verify the sensor or thermistor reading against the expected range for the current operating condition, keeping in mind that check suction temperature sensor wiring and connector for damage or corrosion.
- Check the sensor harness and board connection before condemning the sensor itself; on Bryant units this is also where you'd confirm measure sensor resistance against temperature/resistance chart.
- After the correction, run the system long enough to confirm the air conditioners fault does not return under normal load.
