Re: Ignition Control - Flashing Code 6
Flashing Code 6 = Main Limit Switch Open or Aux Limit Switch Open
The main limit and auxiliary limit are wired in series. Therefore either switch open on a call for heat will generate a code 6 on the Ignition Control board.

CHECKOUT:
1. Check Ignition Control Board
- Start the furnace with a call for heat.
- At the Ignition Control Board (IC) check for 24VAC between "L" and "C".
- Power Present + Code 6 = Bad Ignition Control Board
- No Power = Limit circuit open → Step 2. Check Limits
2. Check Limits
- Main Limit (located under burners)
- Check for 24VAC from each side of the limit (Yel and Blu) to "C".
- Power on One Side Only = Open Limit
- Power on Both Sides + No Power on "L" = Broken Wire Between Main Limit & IC Board
- No Power on Either Side ⇒ Check Aux Limit
- Aux Limit (located in blower compartment)
- Check for 24VAC from each side of the limit (Red and Blu) to "C".
- Power on One Side Only = Open Limit ⇒ Reset and check for No Airflow
- Power on Both Sides + No Power at Main Limit = Broken Wire Between Aux & Main Limit
- No Power on Either Side = Broken Wire Between Main Control & Aux Limit
3. Check Airflow
- Check the blower belt.
- Check the air filters.
- Check blower motor operation.
