H27 (Outdoor Air Temperature Sensor Abnormality)
Malfunction Decision Conditions
During startup and operation of cooling and heating, the temperatures detected by the outdoor air temperature
sensor are used to determine sensor errors.
Malfunction Caused
Faulty connector connection.
Faulty sensor.
Faulty PCB.
Troubleshooting
When abnormality indication starts again
Check the outdoor air temperature sensor:
Plug out connector from the outdoor unit PCB
Measure the resistance of the outdoor air temperature
sensor
For safety reason and to prevent component
breakdown, always switch off the power
before remove and connect the component.
Is the measured resistance of the outdoor air temperature
sensor matches the value specified in its characteristic
chart?
Replace the outdoor air temperature sensor
Defect in outdoor unit PCB
Replace the outdoor unit PCB
Check the connector connection:
Turn off the power
Check the connector connection
Is the connector connection normal?
YES
Connector poor contact
Correct the connection
NO
NO
YES
Defect in outdoor air temperature sensor
