Verify Before Replacing Parts
- Confirm the exact Daikin model family and split/ multi split context before acting on a generic code description.
- Verify airflow first, then confirm operating pressures and temperature relationship before adjusting charge, since clogged air filter of indoor unit and short circuit.
- Look for restrictions, iced coils, or dirty heat-transfer surfaces that can mimic a charge problem, and separately confirm defect of indoor unit heat exchanger thermistor.
- After the correction, run the system long enough to confirm the split/ multi split fault does not return under normal load.
