Limit Switch Open (Overheat)

Troubleshooting Steps

  • Immediately check for a very dirty air filter or failed blower motor.
  • Inspect all supply registers to ensure enough are open.
  • Verify the static pressure in the ductwork isn't exceeding 0.8" WC.

Major Discharge Temp Sensor Trip

Troubleshooting Steps

  • The discharge temperature has exceeded safe limits. Check for low refrigerant charge.
  • Verify the discharge temperature thermistor is accurately sensing pipe temp.
  • Ensure the outdoor fan is moving enough air and the coil is not obstructed.

ERR.001.01

Indoor Unit Communication Loss

Troubleshooting Steps

  • Check the data lines (D1/D2 or ABCD) for loose connections at the furnace/air handler.
  • Verify 24V power is present at the indoor control board.
  • Inspect for interference from high-voltage lines running parallel to communication wires.

Medium Severity
SOP.002.01

Evaporator Coil Freeze Protection Active

Troubleshooting Steps

  • Check for very low airflow caused by a clogged filter or collapsed duct.
  • Verify that the indoor blower is running at the correct speed for the cooling call.
  • Inspect the expansion valve (EEV/TXV) for proper refrigerant metering.

Medium Severity
SOP.007.02

Liquid Line Sensor Fault

Troubleshooting Steps

  • Check the liquid line thermistor for a short or open circuit.
  • Verify the sensor is tightly clipped to the refrigerant line and insulated.
  • Replace the sensor if resistance values do not match the manufacturer's temp chart.

Critical Severity
CD1.006.01

Flame Sensed When No Gas Valve Energized

Troubleshooting Steps

  • Check for a leaking gas valve that is staying partially open.
  • Inspect for a 'ghost flame' signal caused by a faulty ignition control board.
  • Verify there is no moisture on the flame sensor or control board circuitry.

Critical Severity
CD2.001.00

Gas Valve Relay Coil Fault

Troubleshooting Steps

  • Check for a failed relay on the furnace control board.
  • Verify 24V is reaching the gas valve during a call for heat.
  • Replace the control board if the internal relay is 'stuck' or unresponsive.

Medium Severity
CD4.002.01

Blower Motor Speed Out of Range

Troubleshooting Steps

  • Check for excessive static pressure in the ductwork.
  • Verify the blower wheel is not weighted down by dust or insulation.
  • Inspect the motor’s control module for signs of moisture or electrical damage.

Blower Motor Speed Out of Range

Troubleshooting Steps

  • Check for excessive static pressure in the ductwork.
  • Verify the blower wheel is not weighted down by dust or insulation.
  • Inspect the motor’s control module for signs of moisture or electrical damage.

Outdoor Coil Temperature Sensor Fault

Troubleshooting Steps

  • Check the thermistor resistance; compare it to the standard Trane 10k-ohm temp chart.
  • Verify the sensor is not making contact with the outdoor fan blade or chassis.
  • Inspect the wiring harness for signs of rodent damage or UV degradation.

High Severity
CD4.003.00

Blower Motor No Communication (Data Lost)

Troubleshooting Steps

  • Verify the 4-pin communication cable is securely seated on both the motor and control board.
  • Check for 24V power at the motor's low-voltage connector.
  • Replace the motor's electronic control module (ECM) if power is present but data is not.

Critical Severity
CFG.001.02

Multiple Indoor Unit Configuration Fault

Troubleshooting Steps

  • The system detected more than one communicating indoor unit on the bus (not supported).
  • Perform a 'Restore Factory Defaults' via the thermostat to re-discover equipment.
  • Disconnect any unauthorized accessories sharing the communication bus.
