Yorkguard IV & V Fault Codes

Yorkguard IV and V

Re: Lockout Codes / Fault Codes

The Yorkguard IV and V boards both have diagnostic functionality that will energize the X/L terminal to flash a light at the indoor thermostat if abnormal operating conditions occur.

The "lockout" can be Reset at the thermostat by: 1) cycling power to the air handler or 2) turning the thermostat system switch "Off" and then back to "On".


LOCKOUT CODES:

Flashes Description
Heartbeat Normal operation (No Faults)
2 Hi pressure cut-out open
3 High compressor discharge temperature
4 Low compressor discharge temperature
5 Default defrost (liquid line temp too cold)
6 Discharge (or any) sensor open or shorted
7 Outdoor sensor open or shorted
8 Liquid line sensor open or shorted
9 Bonnet sensor shorted
Fast Flash Analyzer plugged-in
