Full Diagnosis

Duplicate outdoor temp sensor detected.

All Recorded Causes

Remove or disconnect any redundant outdoor sensor if two are installed. If only one sensor exists, try resetting power; continued errors may require technician support.

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 remove or disconnect any redundant outdoor sensor if two are installed.
  3. Check the sensor harness and board connection before condemning the sensor itself; on Trane units this is also where you'd confirm if only one sensor exists, try resetting power; continued errors may require technician su….
  4. After the correction, run the system long enough to confirm the ac and heat pump fault does not return under normal load.
