Error Code PJ
Troubleshooting guide for the Daikin VRV system fault PJ.
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
- Mis-matching of type of PCB.
- Improper (or no) field setting after replacing outdoor unit main PCB.
Verify Before Replacing Parts
- Confirm the exact Daikin model family and vrv context before acting on a generic code description.
- Confirm board LEDs, wiring polarity, and model compatibility before replacing control boards.
- Check for intermittent communication faults caused by connectors, moisture, or damaged harnesses.
- 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
Loss of comm LEDs, incorrect polarity, or a fault that appears only when indoor and outdoor boards talk.
What can fool you
Board swaps without harness checks can hide the real fault if the wiring path is damaged.
When to Escalate the Call
- Communication faults persist after polarity, harness, and compatibility checks.
- A board replacement seems likely but the full system path has not been confirmed.
