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.
