Premium G Water to Air Geothermal Heat Pump Air Flow Fault
Air Flow fault: The fan RPM falls below the low RPM limit for 30 continuous seconds
- Fan may not be spinning freely (Bearings in the fan motor may be damaged)
- Line voltage at terminals 4 & 5 may be below 230V
- The signals from the board may need to be checked.
- Dirty air filter or coil
Checking ECM Motors
- Remove the plug on P1 to disconnect the main logic board from the thermostat.
- On the P1 connection, place a jumper between terminals R and G (SW2 DIP switch # 8 in the off position) • The fan should come on and run on low speed.
- Check Outputs 2 on the main logic board (SW2 DIP switch # 6 and # 7 off) to confirm blower low speed output. • Drain LED should be lit.
- Place SW3 DIP switch # 3 in the off position; this disables RPM monitoring.
- Disconnect low voltage harness from motor and check DC voltage between violet and black wires. If 24 VDC is present, check the motor.
- To check the motor, remove module from motor and disconnect 3 pin connector. Place an ohm meter across each pin and motor housing (ground), reading should be over 100,000 ohms.
- Take ohm reading at the three pin connector (motor windings). Resistance across any two leads should be less than 20 ohms and within 10 percent of each other.
- If the motor checks out within the above tolerances and the bearings feel good, replace the module only.
