York Furnace Lockout and Diagnostic Codes

York Gas Furnaces

Most York gas furnaces have a control board inside the furnace blower compartment that will flash a diagnostic code that shows the operating status of the furnace.

Diagnostic Codes:
Slow GreenNormal Operation – no call for heat
Slow AmberNormal Operation – with a call for heat
Steady On RedControl failureReplace control board (S9200U is a suitable replacement)
Rapid RedTwinning error, incorrect 24V phasingTry switching polarity at transformer.
Rapid AmberLow flame sense currentClean flame sensor
4 AmberY present without GLow voltage wiring problem
1 RedFlame present with gas offStuck gas valveShorted flame sensor Faulty control
2 RedPressure switch stuck closedBad pressure switchInducer fan relay stuck on
3 RedPressure switch stuck openBad pressure switchBad inducer fanBad inducer fan relayBlocked or restricted ventCondensate drainage issue
4 RedLimit switch open / open fuseBad limitLow airflowOver-Fired
5 RedRollout switch open / open fuseBad switchCracked heat exchangerBad inducer motorOver-Fired
6 RedPressure switch opened 4 timesBad pressure switchBad inducer fanBlocked or restricted ventCondensate drain issue
7 RedIgnition lockout due to 3 retriesBad igniterDirty flame sensorNo gas flow
8 RedFlame signal lost 5 timesDirty flame sensorCombustion air problem
9 RedGrounding or line polarity faultTry reversing transformer power
10 RedFlame sensed with no call for heatStuck gas valveShorted flame sensor Faulty control
11 RedExtended limit switch openBad limitBlower failure
12 RedOpen igniter circuitBad igniterLoose wiring to igniter
13 Red2nd Stage Pressure switch stuck openBad pressure switchBad inducer fanBlocked or restricted ventCondensate drain issue

 Lockout Codes

Fault Code Retrieval:  With no thermostat call push and release the LAST ERROR button.  The LED will flash up to 5 stored fault codes, beginning with the most recent.  If there are no codes in memory, the LED will flash two green flashes.

Clear the Fault Codes:  Push and hold the LAST ERROR button for at least five seconds.  The LED will flash three green flashes when the memory has been cleared.
