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
  1. Read amber status light on outdoor control board
  2. Verify ABCD communication path from wall control to indoor to outdoor
  3. 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.
