Possible meaning 1Outdoor coil (condenser) temperature sensor fault

Needs a technician

The control board is getting a wrong reading, or no reading, from the outdoor coil (condenser) temperature sensor. Usually the sensor, its wire or its plug is loose, damaged or has failed.

Common causes

Loose or rusted sensor plug on the control board
Sensor wire cut, pinched or bitten by rats
Sensor has failed (open or short circuit)
Less often, a fault on the control board

Try this at home first

Tick each step as you go

Switch off at the wall socket or MCB for 5 minutes, then restart
If the code does not come back, no further action is needed
Look for any visible wire damage from outside — do not open covers

When to call a technician

If the code returns after a reset, a technician needs to test and usually replace the sensor. It is a common, low-cost repair.

Possible meaning 2Communication error (power module ↔ main board)

Needs a technician

Two parts of the appliance (power module ↔ main board) have stopped talking to each other. A loose wire, low voltage or a faulty board can cause this.

Common causes

Loose or damaged connecting / signal wire
Low or fluctuating voltage, or a faulty stabilizer
Water, insects or rust on terminals
Faulty control board

Try this at home first

Tick each step as you go

Switch off at the MCB for 5–10 minutes, then switch on
Make sure the stabilizer is on and working
If the unit was recently installed or shifted, ask the installer to check the wiring

When to call a technician

If it comes back, a technician should check the connecting cable and boards. Do not open the outdoor unit yourself — it has high voltage.

Safety first

Always switch off at the wall socket or MCB before touching any part. Do not open the outdoor unit, control boards or gas pipes yourself — they carry high voltage and pressure.
