Disclaimer: This information is for general reference. Error codes can vary by model and production year. Always refer to your machine's specific manual and the information printed on the unit itself.
Potential Causes & Solutions
- Defective connection of thermistor.
- Defective outdoor unit PCB.
- Defective water temperature thermistor.
Verify Before Replacing Parts
- Confirm the exact Daikin model family and skyair context before acting on a generic code description.
- Verify the sensor or thermistor reading against the expected range for the current operating condition.
- Check the sensor harness and board connection before condemning the sensor itself.
- After the correction, run the system long enough to confirm the code does not return under normal load.
Field Signals to Confirm
What usually confirms it
Sensor values that do not match the operating condition or drift when the harness is moved.
What can fool you
A control board issue can look like a failed sensor if the reference voltage or connector is unstable.
When to Escalate the Call
- Sensor values remain unstable after connector and board checks.
- The model uses a proprietary sensor curve you cannot verify confidently in the field.
