Verify Before Replacing Parts

  1. Confirm the exact Daikin model family and split/ multi split context before acting on a generic code description.
  2. Start with line voltage, low voltage, and board output checks in sequence so the fault is isolated cleanly — the data plate flags other centralized control power disconnection Centralized control reset switch ON.
  3. Inspect connectors, relay outputs, and any recently replaced electrical parts for mismatch or loose fit, and verify defective transmission wiring.
  4. After the correction, run the system long enough to confirm the split/ multi split fault does not return under normal load.
