What this code means
Open or short circuit of outlet pipe sensor (indoor).
First step from the service manual
Check outlet pipe sensor for open/short condition.
Next steps: diagnose the root cause
1
Verify the error code is active
Power cycle the unit and see if the code returns. If it does, the fault is persistent and requires diagnosis.
