34 on a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Air-Conditioning Europe heat pump: Sensor flt: BT54 solar: Sensor not connected/defective (solar coil)
Short answer
On a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Air-Conditioning Europe heat pump, 34 means: Sensor flt: BT54 solar: Sensor not connected/defective (solar coil). The heat pump keeps running with some functions stopped. An engineer is needed to fix the cause. The wording differs by model range — each is shown below.

What it means
On the Hydrolution (split, FDCW outdoor units)
The manual says: Sensor flt: BT54 solar: Sensor not connected/defective (solar coil).
Part involved: Sensor flt: BT54 solar.
When it shows: Sensor not connected/defective (solar coil).
Likely causes:
- Open circuit or short circuit on sensor input; defective sensor.
On the Hydrolution HM gen 1 (HMA100V/HMS140V integrated-controller systems)
The manual says: Sensor fault, hot water (BT6).
Part involved: S. fault HW.
Likely causes:
- Open-circuit or short-circuit on sensor input; sensor does not work.
Is it safe?
On the Hydrolution (split, FDCW outdoor units)
| Does the heat pump stop? | Partly |
|---|---|
| Severity | Fault — needs a manual reset once the cause is fixed |
| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The heat pump keeps running with some functions stopped.
Resetting itself: no.
Manual reset: yes (select 'reset alarm' in the alarm menu).

Resetting itself: no.
Manual reset: yes (switch SF1 off/on per user manual).
What you can check
On the Hydrolution (split, FDCW outdoor units)
- Note the alarm number/text shown on the display. Check the consumer-unit breakers/isolators for the indoor and outdoor units are on. Check the outdoor unit is not blocked by leaves, snow or ice and its drain is clear (look only - do not open the casing). On the RC-HY controller you may select 'reset alarm' once (installation manual: 'in most cases it is enough'); if the red lamp stays or the alarm returns, select 'aid mode' (if enabled) or 'add. heat only' in menu 4.2 and contact the installer.
On the Hydrolution HM gen 1 (HMA100V/HMS140V integrated-controller systems)
- Note the alarm number/text shown on the display. Check the consumer-unit breakers/isolators for the indoor and outdoor units are on. The user manual allows resetting by switching the indoor unit off and on with switch SF1; if the alarm cannot be reset, hold the operating-mode button to select 'Add. heat only' (immersion heating) and contact the installer. Recurring alarms mean an installation fault.
What the engineer will check
On the Hydrolution (split, FDCW outdoor units)
- Per manual 'May be due to': Open circuit or short circuit on sensor input; defective sensor. Check sensor wiring/resistance, settings, flow (particle filter, pump) and supply as applicable.
Who to ask for: Heat pump / refrigeration engineer (manufacturer-trained).
Certification: F-gas certification for refrigerant-circuit work; electrical competence (Part P/18th Edition) for PCB/wiring.
On the Hydrolution HM gen 1 (HMA100V/HMS140V integrated-controller systems)
- Indoor-unit checks per HM-T-193 flowchart: check sensor characteristics (BT6/BT19), external heat source settings, contactors QA1-QA3.
Who to ask for: Heat pump / refrigeration engineer (manufacturer-trained).
Certification: F-gas certification for refrigerant-circuit work; electrical competence (Part P/18th Edition) for PCB/wiring.
