3Airflow path is clogged.
4Rise of ambient temperature
5Defective thermistor
6Defective input circuit of
outdoor power circuit board
7
Failure of outdoor fan drive circuit
12 Check outdoor fan.
3Check airflow path for cooling.
4Check if there is something which causes
temperature rise around outdoor unit.
(Upper limit of ambient temperature is 46:.)
Turn off power, and on again to check if U5 is
displayed within 30 minutes.
If U4 is displayed instead of U5, follow the
action to be taken for U4.
5Check resistance value of TH8 or tempera-
ture by microprocessor. (TH8: Refer to
"9-4. HOW TO CHECK THE PARTS".)

Open/short of outdoor unit thermistors
(TH3, TH34, TH6, TH7, and TH8)
Abnormal if open or short is detected
during compressor operation.
Open detection of TH3, TH34 and TH6 is
inoperative for 10 seconds to 10 minutes
after compressor starting and 10 minutes
after and during defrosting.
Note: Check which unit has abnormality in
its thermistor by switching the mode
of SW2. (PAC-SK52ST)
(Refer to "9-7. FUNCTION OF
SWITCHES, CONNECTORS AND
JUMPERS".)
1
Check connection of connector (TH3, TH34,
TH7/6) on the outdoor controller circuit board.
Check connection of connector (CN3) on the
outdoor power circuit board. Check breaking of
the lead wire for TH3, TH34, TH6, TH7, TH8.
Refer to "9-6.TEST POINT DIAGRAM".
2
Check resistance value of TH3, TH34,
TH6,TH7,TH8 or check temperature by
microprocessor.
(TH3,TH34,TH6,TH7,TH8: Refer to "9-6.
TEST POINT DIAGRAM".) (SW2 on
A-Control Service Tool: Refer to "9-7.

Note: Emergency operation is available in case
of abnormalities of TH3, TH34,
TH6 and
TH7.

Abnormal if discharge superheat is
continuously detected less than or equal
to −15:for 3 minutes even though linear
expansion valve has minimum open pulse
after compressor starts operating for 10
minutes.
1Disconnection or loose
connection of discharge

12 Check the installation conditions of
discharge temperature thermistor (TH4).
3Check the coil of linear expansion valve.
Refer to "9-5. HOW TO CHECK THE
COMPONENTS".
4Check the connection or contact of LEV-A and
LEV-B on outdoor controller circuit board.
5Check linear expansion valve. Refer to "9-4.

Outdoor fan motor
Abnormal if rotational frequency of the fan motor
is not detected during DC fan motor operation.
Fan motor rotational frequency is abnormal if;
• 100 rpm or below detected continuously
for 15 seconds at 20:or more outside
air temperature.
• 50 rpm or below or 1500 rpm or more
detected continuously for 1 minute.
1Failure in the operation of the
DC fan motor
2Failure in the outdoor circuit
controller board
1Check or replace the DC fan motor.
2Check the voltage of the outdoor circuit
controller board during operation.
3Replace the outdoor circuit controller board.
(When the failure is still indicated even after
performing the action 1above.)
