What the LED#1 ON / LED#2 ON error code actually means

When both indicator lights on your Lennox furnace are on at the same time, it means the furnace's main control board has detected a serious internal problem or the board was wired incorrectly. This is not a sensor or filter issue; it points directly to the brain of the furnace. A technician will need to check the wiring and likely replace the control board to restore normal operation.

Questions people ask about LED#1 ON / LED#2 ON

What does LED#1 ON / LED#2 ON mean on a Lennox furnace?
Both LEDs being simultaneously illuminated on a Lennox furnace indicates either a control board failure or an incorrect wiring connection at the control board. This is a board-level diagnostic fault, meaning the integrated furnace control has detected a condition it cannot resolve through normal operation. The furnace will not operate normally while this fault is active. A technician should inspect all wiring connections first, then evaluate the board itself for failure.
Can I fix the LED#1 ON / LED#2 ON error myself?
If the cause is a wiring error, a knowledgeable DIYer comfortable working with low-voltage furnace wiring can compare the installed wiring against the unit's wiring diagram and correct any miswired terminals. However, if the control board itself has failed, replacing the IFC board requires proper identification of the correct replacement part and careful reinstallation of all wiring harnesses. If you are not confident working inside a furnace control panel, a licensed HVAC technician should perform this repair.
How much does it cost to repair a Lennox furnace with a control board fault?
If the issue is a wiring correction only, labor costs are typically in the range of $75 to $175 depending on your market and the technician's time. If the integrated furnace control board requires replacement, parts and labor combined can range from $300 to $650 or more, depending on the specific Lennox model, part availability, and regional labor rates. Getting a diagnosis confirmation before committing to a board replacement is advisable, since wiring errors are a less costly resolution.
Will resetting the furnace clear the LED#1 ON / LED#2 ON fault?
Cycling power to the furnace may temporarily clear the displayed fault, but if the underlying cause is a failed control board or miswired connection, the fault will return immediately or shortly after restart. A power reset is a reasonable first step, but it is not a fix. If the dual-LED condition returns after reset, proceed with wiring inspection and board evaluation.
Is it safe to run my Lennox furnace when both LEDs are on?
The furnace will generally not operate in its normal heating sequence while this fault is active, so the system is effectively locked out rather than running unsafely. You should not attempt to bypass the control board or force operation. Leave the furnace powered off or in lockout until the fault is properly diagnosed and repaired.
