Full Diagnosis

Space Relative Humidity Sensor Failure. SPRH input is below threshold while the sensor is configured as installed.

All Recorded Causes

Check SPRH sensor wiring and 24V power supply to sensor. Inspect sensor for damage or contamination. Measure sensor output signal. Replace sensor or reconfigure control to not-installed if sensor is faulty.

Verify Before Replacing Parts

  1. Confirm the exact Carrier model family and outdoor packaged units context before acting on a generic code description.
  2. Verify the sensor or thermistor reading against the expected range for the current operating condition, keeping in mind that check SPRH sensor wiring and 24V power supply to sensor.
  3. Check the sensor harness and board connection before condemning the sensor itself; on Carrier units this is also where you'd confirm inspect sensor for damage or contamination.
  4. After the correction, run the system long enough to confirm the outdoor packaged units fault does not return under normal load.
