What the DIAG#1: Simultaneous Flash / DIAG#2: Simultaneous Flash error code actually means

When both indicator lights on your Lennox furnace flash at the same time, it means the furnace is on and working normally. If those lights are flashing faster than usual, your furnace is actively responding to a request for heat from your thermostat. This is not an error or warning, so no action is needed.

Questions people ask about DIAG#1: Simultaneous Flash / DIAG#2: Simultaneous Flash

What does DIAG#1: Simultaneous Flash / DIAG#2: Simultaneous Flash mean on a Lennox furnace?
This indication means the furnace is powered on and operating normally. Both diagnostic LEDs flashing at the same time is a status signal from the control board, not an error code. An increased flash rate specifically indicates that a heating demand is active and the furnace is responding to a thermostat call for heat.
Is it safe to run my Lennox furnace when both diagnostic lights are flashing at the same time?
Yes, simultaneous flashing from both DIAG LEDs is a normal operational status and does not indicate any unsafe condition. The furnace is functioning as designed. If you have concerns about heating performance or unusual sounds or smells, those issues should be investigated independently of this indicator.
Will resetting the furnace clear this simultaneous flash indication?
Resetting the furnace is not necessary and will not change this indication in a meaningful way. After a reset, the simultaneous flash will reappear once power is restored because it is the normal power-on status display. Resetting is only relevant when a true fault code is present, not during normal operation.
Do I need to fix anything when I see this simultaneous flash pattern?
No repair is needed when both LEDs are flashing simultaneously. This pattern confirms normal operation and a healthy control board. If the furnace is not heating despite showing this pattern, the problem lies with another component such as the ignition system, gas valve, or a limit switch, and those components should be diagnosed separately.
How much does it cost to address this simultaneous flash code on a Lennox furnace?
Because this is a normal status indication and not a fault code, there is no repair cost associated with it. If a technician visit is needed to confirm normal operation or to investigate a separate heating issue found alongside this indication, diagnostic service call fees typically range from $75 to $150 depending on your location and service provider.
