16 (legacy communicating outdoor)
Communication with User Interface lost on legacy communicating outdoor (24ANB, 25HCB, similar Infinity/Evolution non-inverter communicating ODU families).
This code typically points to
- ABCD bus wiring fault
- UI power loss
- Indoor-outdoor communication break
- Device on comm bus dragging communications down
Next checks to confirm
- Read amber status light on outdoor control board
- Verify ABCD communication path from wall control to indoor to outdoor
- Check terminations and power to communicating UI
Escalation
No special local-board-only recovery mode documented for these legacy non-inverter outdoor units comparable to inverter platform's emergency communicating mode. Restore comm path.
Reset behavior
Clears when communication is re-established. Not documented as a manual-reset outdoor-board lockout.
