● Inspection of resistance value of discharge-
pipe thermistor.
Remove the connector and check the resistance value. 
See the section of thermistor characteristics on page 170.
● Inspection of electronic expansion valve 
To test if there is voltage.
(Voltage is only applied to the electronic expansion valve when the valve angle is 
being changed.)
Red to white
Red to Orange
Brown to yellow
Brown to blue
If the expansion valve does not operate as shown above, it is defective.
 Normal if there is approximately DC 5 V 10 seconds 
after the power supply is turned on.

● Display lamp inspection 
• LED 5 (Abnormality display lamp - Red)
• LED 1 to 3: (Light display for each room - 
Green)
ON or flashing: Protection function operating)
ON when there is a serial signal being 
received among each of the indoor units.
OFF during ignition, stop (including no 
connection), abnormality

● Inspection of capacitor
Check the charging characteristics 
with a tester. (Needle should 
swing and return slowly. Change 
the polarity and check again. If 
the needle returns, it is normal.)
● Power supply and serial 
signal inspection
1 to 2: AC220/240V
2 to 3: Normal if the voltage oscil-
lates between DC 0 and 
approx. 12V
● Inspection of reactor conductivity
Remove the connector and check for conductivi-
ty. It must be conductive.
● Inspect power transistor. 
Remove the fasten terminal and test out-
put voltage.

(b) Outdoor unit inspection points
u * Check these points with the power
supply on.
CAUTION – HIGH VOLTAGE
High voltage is produced in the control box. Don't touch 
electrical parts in the control box for 5 minutes after the 
unit is stopped.
