Verify Before Replacing Parts

  1. Confirm the exact Daikin model family and vrv 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 defective thermistor for gas pipe.
  3. Check the sensor harness and board connection before condemning the sensor itself; on Daikin units this is also where you'd confirm defective indoor unit PCB.
  4. After the correction, run the system long enough to confirm the vrv fault does not return under normal load.
