Indoor unit communication fault / loss of communication with indoor unit (FIELD CONSENSUS — no public OEM definition located)
This code typically points to
  • ABCD communication bus issue
  • Failed indoor board dragging down the bus
  • High-resistance or shorted comm wiring
  • Intermittent power loss to indoor unit
Next checks to confirm
  1. Start at the wall control and work inward
  2. Verify indoor unit power first
  3. Then ABCD bus continuity/polarity/shorts
  4. Then isolate indoor board vs wiring
Escalation
No public OEM escalation rule found. Treat as event/fault surfaced by wall control rather than publicly documented timed lockout family.
Reset behavior
Often clears after restoring communication and power-cycling. May recur if indoor board or bus wiring remains unstable.
