Verify Before Replacing Parts
- Confirm the exact Daikin model family and split/ multi split context before acting on a generic code description.
- 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.
- Inspect connectors, relay outputs, and any recently replaced electrical parts for mismatch or loose fit, and verify defective transmission wiring.
- After the correction, run the system long enough to confirm the split/ multi split fault does not return under normal load.
