What the Green OFF / Red Continuous error code actually means

Your Trane furnace has detected a problem inside one of its main circuit boards, specifically the part that controls the ignition process. This is not a sensor problem or a wiring issue that can be easily checked from the outside. The board itself has failed and will need to be replaced to restore normal heating operation.

Questions people ask about Green OFF / Red Continuous

What does Green OFF / Red Continuous mean on a Trane furnace?
This fault code indicates an internal fault has been detected within the Texas Instruments ignition control module. The module's self-diagnostic circuitry has identified a problem it cannot recover from on its own. The green LED being off combined with a continuously illuminated red LED is specific to this internal module fault. It can occur at any point during furnace operation.
Is it safe to run my furnace with this fault code active?
A furnace displaying this fault code has a compromised ignition control module, which manages critical functions including gas valve timing and igniter sequencing. Operating the furnace in this state is not recommended, as the module may not reliably control the ignition process. The furnace should be taken out of service until the control module is replaced.
How much does it cost to replace a Trane ignition control module?
The cost to replace a Trane ignition control module typically ranges depending on the specific module required and local labor rates. Parts alone can range from roughly $100 to $400 or more, and professional labor adds additional cost. Getting a quote from a qualified HVAC technician before proceeding is advisable.
Can I fix the Green OFF / Red Continuous fault myself?
Because the fault is internal to the ignition control module, there are no external adjustments, sensor checks, or wiring repairs that will resolve it. Replacing the ignition control module is the prescribed corrective action. A knowledgeable DIYer comfortable with furnace electrical components may be able to perform the replacement, but working with gas appliance control systems carries safety risks and many technicians recommend professional service.
Will resetting the furnace clear the Green OFF / Red Continuous code?
Resetting the furnace by cycling power is unlikely to permanently clear this fault. Because the fault is generated by the internal self-diagnostic circuitry of the control module itself, the underlying hardware condition will remain even after a reset. The fault code will typically return once the module resumes operation. Replacement of the module is required to resolve it.
