What It Means

Reports a fault in the current sensor (CT) monitoring compressor amperage on System No.

Possible Causes

  • Current sensor (CT) wiring disconnected or damaged.
  • CT clamp not properly seated around the compressor lead.
  • Defective current sensor.
  • Damaged outdoor unit PCB current-sensing input.
  • Loose crimp or terminal at the CT harness connector.

Full Diagnosis

Reports a fault in the current sensor (CT) monitoring compressor amperage on System No. 1, used by the inverter/control logic for load and protection calculations. J2 is the System No. 1 equivalent of 7A, which reports the identical current-sensor fault on System No. 2 — check the fault's associated circuit number to confirm which compressor is affected. It differs from H8, which covers a broader compressor input/CT system fault tied to the inverter's power transistor circuit rather than the discrete current sensor itself.

All Recorded Causes

Current sensor (CT) wiring disconnected or damaged. CT clamp not properly seated around the compressor lead. Defective current sensor. Damaged outdoor unit PCB current-sensing input. Loose crimp or terminal at the CT harness connector. Electrical noise or interference affecting the CT signal.

Verify Before Replacing Parts

  1. Confirm the exact Daikin model family and chiller context before acting on a generic code description.
  2. Confirm board LEDs, wiring polarity, and model compatibility before replacing control boards — this Daikin fault points at current sensor (CT) wiring disconnected or damaged.
  3. Check for intermittent communication faults caused by connectors, moisture, or damaged harnesses, and rule out cT clamp not properly seated around the compressor lead.
  4. After the correction, run the system long enough to confirm the chiller fault does not return under normal load.
