York Gas Furnace: TG9S/GY9S

Re: Flashing Code 11

This indicates that a primary or auxiliary limit switch has opened and has remained open for more than five minutes. This condition is usually associated with an air circulation failure. 

► Code 11 is a Hard-Lockout which requires cycling 24VAC power to the furnace board to reset (or cycling 115V power).

CHECKOUT:

1. Check Blower Motor/Wheel

• Turn off power to the furnace.
• Open the blower access door and check the condition of the blower wheel.
• Check to see if the motor and wheel turn freely.

2. Check Motor Operation

• Turn on power to the furnace.
• Energize a call for "Fan" by jumping "R" to "G".
  • Blower motor does not start → Step 3. Check Control Board/Motor
  • Blower motor starts & runs normally → Step 4. Check Limits
  • Motor starts but makes a terrible noise ⇒ Blower Wheel Problem

3. Check Control Board/Motor

• These furnaces use and X-13 ECM blower motor (constant 120V + 24V speed input on 1,2,3,4 or 5).
• With power applied to the furnace, check for 120V at the motor high voltage harness between BLK/WHT and WHT.
  • No Power = No Furnace Power or Loose Wiring
  • Power Present ⇒ Continue
• Check for 24VAC between 24V COM and G on the control board fan outputs.
  • No Power = Bad Control Board ⇒ It may be possible to hook a blower speed to the "EAC" terminal to get temporary fan operation.
  • Power Present + No Blower Operation = Bad Motor, Bad Capacitor or Bad Wiring 

4. Check Limits

• Check for 24VAC between both sides of the primary limit and "C".
  • Power on Both Sides = Limit Closed
  • Power on One Side Only = Limit Open 
    • Limit Open + Cool Chamber = Bad Limit
• Alternatively, check for 24VAC between the Red wire on Pin#1 and the Red/Grn wire on Pin#7 of the 12-pin plug.
  • No Power = Limit Closed
  • Power Present = Limit Open
