Package Unit: DNZ

Re: Flashing Code 2

These units have one control board (EMCB) which controls all unit functions.

► Any heating diagnostics will be displayed on the EMCB.

CODE 2 = Pressure switch "Open" with the inducer motor energized.


Qty Possible Causes:
1 Bad Inducer Motor
Bad Pressure Switch
5 Clogged Pressure Port
Item Stuck in Inducer Wheel
Bad Control Board

CHECKOUT:

1. Check Heating Sequence


2. Check Control Board

  • Check for 24VAC between "W1" and "C" on the EMCB.
    • No Power on "W1" = No Call for Heat
  • 1-Stage Inducer
  • Check for 230VAC between Ignition Control Board [IND] terminal (BLK) and Compressor Contactor L2 (PRP).
  • 2-Stage Inducer
  • Check for 230VAC between Ignition Control Board [IND] terminal (RED) and Compressor Contactor L2 (WHT).
  • Check for 230VAC between Ignition Control Board [H-IND] terminal (BLK) and Compressor Contactor L2 (WHT).

3. Check Inducer Motor

  • Check the temperature of the inducer motor.
  • Use an Amp Probe to check the amperage of the inducer motor.
    • Power + Hot Motor + No Amperage = Off on Overload ⇒ Turn off power to the unit, allow motor to cool, then recheck.
    • Power + Cool Motor + No Amperage = Bad Inducer Motor
    • Power + Amperage + Not Running = Bad Inducer Motor or Item Stuck in Inducer Wheel  Remove Inducer Assembly & Check Wheel

4. Check Pressure Switch

  • Check for 24VAC between "C" of the EMCB and 245/PRP on the pressure switch.
    • Power Present + Code 2 Bad Control Board
    • No Power = Open Pressure Switch
      • Use a pressure gauge to check the negative pressure from the inducer.
        • Adequate Negative Pressure = Bad Pressure Switch
        • No or Low Negative Pressure ⇒ 
          • Check for a Clogged Pressure Port. 
          • Remove the inducer assembly and check the condition of the blower wheel.
