Full Diagnosis

Low Flame Signal. The flame sensor current is weak.

All Recorded Causes

Dirty flame sensor, poor ground, bad wire connection.

Verify Before Replacing Parts

  1. Confirm the exact Lennox model family and ds1 & ds2 context before acting on a generic code description.
  2. Walk the entire heating sequence in order instead of jumping straight to the reported code, watching for dirty flame sensor, poor ground, bad wire connection.
  3. Verify each safety device and prove where the sequence stops under live operation, including whether the next candidate on the list.
  4. After the correction, run the system long enough to confirm the ds1 & ds2 fault does not return under normal load.
