Verify Before Replacing Parts

  1. Confirm the exact Daikin model family and split/ multi split 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 four way valve.
  3. Check the sensor harness and board connection before condemning the sensor itself; on Daikin units this is also where you'd confirm shortage of gas.
  4. After the correction, run the system long enough to confirm the split/ multi split fault does not return under normal load.
