Codes E150, E151, E152, E154, E155, E160, E161, E163, E164, and E390 only exist on K-revision Lennox furnaces (EL195UHNEK, ML196UHEK). These are refrigerant leak detection codes for R-454B A2L compliance. E154/E155 will latch the blower ON for at least 5 minutes regardless of thermostat call — this is a code-mandated safety behavior. A2L refrigerant detection CANNOT be disabled — it's prohibited by safety codes.
