Verify Before Replacing Parts

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