OD Inverter Communication Error
This code typically points to
  • Loose or disconnected electrical connections
  • Interruption of main power to inverter

Next checks to confirm
  1. Check for loose or disconnected electrical connections
  2. Verify stable power to the inverter and outdoor section
  3. Use detailed outdoor-unit service documentation if the fault persists

Escalation
If repeated to lockout threshold, outdoor unit locks out and displays alert code 434 as service urgent
Reset behavior
Service-soon condition automatically clears when the system detects the issue no longer exists; if locked out with service-urgent 434, reset by cycling outdoor-unit power off/on first, then cycling indoor 24VAC power to the Lennox outdoor control off/on.
