Flame Out of Sequence − Still Present
Primary Limit Switch Open
Shut off gas, check for gas valve leak.
Check firing rate on furnace, blockage in heater, and air flow.
Check temperature rise, air flow and input rate.
Discharge Air Temperature High
Watch Guard − Flame Failure on Ignite
Watch Guard − Low Pressure Switch Open
Check for gas flow, ignitor lighting burner, flame sensor current.
Check inches of water column closing pressure of low pressure switch on heat call, measure inches of water
column of operating pressure, inspect vent and combustion air inducer for correct operation and restriction.
272
Watch Guard − Low Pressure Switch Open Run
Mode
Check operation of low pressure switch for stuck closed on heat call, measure inches of water column of oper-
ating pressure, inspect vent and combustion air inducer for correct operation and restriction. Check inches of
water column closing pressure of high pressure switch on heat call, measure inches of water column of operat-
ing pressure, inspect vent and combustion air inducer for correct operation and restriction.
273
Watch Guard − Flame Fail in Run Mode
Watch Guard − Primary Limit Switch Open
Check micro amperes of flame sensor in board diagnostics or field installed mode; clean or replace sensor.
Measure voltage of neutral to ground for good unit ground.
274
275
Check why limit is tripping, over fired, low air flow.
Shut off gas, check for gas valve leak.
Watch Guard − Flame Out of Sequence. No
Flame
276
290
Watch Guard − Calibration Failure
Ignition Circuit Problem
Unable to perform pressure switch calibration. Check vent system and pressure switch wiring connections.
Measure resistance of Hot Surface Ignition ignitor, replace if open or not within specification; otherwise replace
control.
291
292
Heat Airflow Restricted Below Min.
Indoor Blower Motor Start Problem
Check for dirty filter, unit air flow restriction, blower performance.
Indoor blower motor unable to start (seized bearing, stuck wheel, etc.). Replace motor or wheel if assembly
does not operate or meet performance.
294
295
Inducer Motor Over current
Check combustion blower bearings, wiring, amps. Replace if does not operate or meets performance.
Indoor Blower Over Temperature
Indoor blower motor over temperature (motor tripped on internal protector). Check motor bearings, amps; re-
place if necessary.

312
Discharge Air Sensor Problem
Compare outdoor sensor resistance to temperature/resistance charts in installation instructions. Replace sensor
if necessary.
Heat Rate Reduced to Match Airflow
Reduced Airflow − Indoor Blower Cutback
Furnace blower in cutback mode due to restricted airflow. Check filter and ductwork. To clear, replace filter if
needed or repair/add ductwork.
Restricted airflow − Indoor blower is running at a reduced CFM (Cutback Mode − The variable speed motor has
pre−set speed and torque limiters to protect the motor from damage caused by operating out of its designed
parameters (0 to 0.8" w.g. total external static pressure). Check filter and ductwork. To clear, replace filter if
needed or repair/add ductwork.
