Full Diagnosis

Liquid line temperature sensor fault (open or shorted).

All Recorded Causes

Inspect the liquid-line sensor and its connector. Reconnect if loose or replace the sensor if damaged.

Verify Before Replacing Parts

  1. Confirm the exact Trane model family and ac and heat pump 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 inspect the liquid-line sensor and its connector.
  3. Check the sensor harness and board connection before condemning the sensor itself; on Trane units this is also where you'd confirm reconnect if loose or replace the sensor if damaged.
  4. After the correction, run the system long enough to confirm the ac and heat pump fault does not return under normal load.
