York Gas Furnace: TM9X/TM9E
Re: Flashing Code 5
Code 5 = Roll-out switch circuit has opened or low voltage fuse blown.
- The control will operate the supply air blower and inducer while the open limit condition exists.
► An LP Gas Pressure Switch may be wired in series with the roll-out limits, so low LP gas pressure may also be misinterpreted by the control board as an open roll-out.

CHECKOUT:
1. Check Low Voltage Fuse
- Check for 24VAC from each side of the low voltage fuse (on the control board) to "C".
- Power on Both Sides = Fuse OK ⇒ Step 2. Check Rollout Circuit
- Power on One Side Only = Blown Fuse → Install a resettable mini-breaker & check for a low voltage short.
2. Check Roll-Out Circuit
- DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RESET ANY ROLL-OUT LIMITS YET!

- At the 12-Pin plug on the control board, check for 24VAC between Red/Blk on Terminal 5 and "C".
- At the 12-Pin plug on the control board, check for 24VAC between Red/Wht on Terminal 11 and "C".
- Power at Both Terminals + Code 5 = Bad Control Board
- Power on One Terminal Only = Rollout Circuit Open
- Check for 24VAC from both sides of each Rollout Limit to "C" (May also have an LP Gas Pressure Switch in series).
- Power on Both Sides = Rollout Limit Closed
- Power on One Side Only = Rollour Limit Open
- Press the reset button on the open limit and recheck power.
3. Check Burners
- Observe the burners as the furnace ignites.
- Make sure all the burners light smoothly and no flame roll-out.
- Roll-out before the blower starts = Clogged Heat Exchanger
- Observe the burners when the blower starts.
- Roll-out or significant flame change when the burners start = Bad Heat Exchanger
