What this code means
Variant–Table Set Mismatch; invalid table set or variant.
First step from the service manual
Replace control.
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.
2
Get the full diagnostic procedure
Get step-by-step guidance, test values, and wiring diagrams from the OEM service manual.
