Verify Before Replacing Parts

  1. Confirm the exact Daikin model family and vrv 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 defective connection of thermistor.
  3. Check for intermittent communication faults caused by connectors, moisture, or damaged harnesses, and rule out defective reactor thermistor.
  4. After the correction, run the system long enough to confirm the vrv fault does not return under normal load.
