What this code means
Tracking error - mismatch between set indoor unit numbers and communicated indoor units after 5 tracking attempts, or communication failure during initial tracking.
First step from the service manual
Check indoor unit numbers setting switch on outdoor unit PCB matches actual installed indoor units.
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.
