Re: Heating - Code 4

Code 4 = High Limit Switch Open

► The YSC rooftop units can have either a Belt-Drive or Variable Speed Blower.


Qty Possible Causes:
2 Broken or Loose Blower Belt
1 Bad Blower Motor
Bad Ignition Control Board (ICB)
Low Airflow
Gas Over-Fired
1 Bad Limit Switch

CHECKOUT:

1. Check Blower Belt (Belt-Drive Models)

  • Remove the blower door and check the blower belt.
    • Replace Belt if broken or damaged.
    • Tighten Belt if loose.

2. Check Limit Circuit

  • At the Ignition Control Board (ICB):
    • Check for 24VAC from Pin 9 (109A Red) to Gnd.
      • No Power ⇒ Suspect Bad Ignition Control Board (ICB)
    • Check for 24VAC from Pin 8 (108A BR) to Gnd.
      • Power + Code 4 = Bad Ignition Control Board (ICB)
      • No Power = Open Limit Circuit

3. Check Primary Limit

  • The Primary Limit is located below the burners.
  • Check for 24VAC between each side of the Primary Limit and GND.
    • Power on Both Sides = Limit Switch Closed → Step 4. Check Aux Limit
    • Power on One Side Only = Open Limit
      • Open Limit + Cool Chamber = Bad Limit
      • Open Limit + Hot Chamber ⇒ Allow limit to cool the re-check.

4. Check Aux Limit 

  • On Direct-Drive Models, the Aux Limit is mounted on the side of the blower housing.
  • You have to take the top of the unit off to access the blower housing.
  • Check for 24VAC between each side of the Aux Limit and GND.
    • ​​​​​​​Power on Both Sides = Limit Switch Closed → Recheck Limit Circuit (Step 2).
    • Power on One Side Only = Open Limit
      • ​​​​​​​Open Limit + Cool Chamber = Bad Limit
      • Open Limit + Hot Chamber ⇒ Allow limit to cool the re-check.

5. Check Blower Operation

  • Set the thermostat to call for full fan.
  • Ensure the the blower motor starts.
  • On Direct-Drive models, the fan speed is controlled by a Turn-Dial in the motor control cabinet (above the burner compartment).
    • Push the knob in and turn Clockwise to increase speed, Counter-Clockwise to decrease speed.
