CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • Confirm that no mechanical problem is present because this diagnostic code can be output when either a damper link or the damper is mechanically locked.

  • When the auxiliary battery is disconnected, or a servo motor or the air conditioning amplifier assembly is replaced, be sure to perform servo motor initialization Click here.

  • Before disconnecting the cable form the negative (-) battery terminal or replacing the air conditioning amplifier assembly, record the last operation state of the air conditioning for each transmitter. After replacement, it is necessary to perform memory registration for each transmitter Click here.
