YesYes
buffer-tank-sensor
Sensor fault alternatively cable fault.
PartlyYes
com-error-expansion-card
Communication broken between display card and expansion card (indoor).
PartlyYes
com-error-exv-card
Communication broken between display card and expansion valve control card (outdoor).
YesYes
com-error-hp-card

YesYes
low-heat-cir-flow
The flow sensor has registered too low a flow.
YesYes
low-pressure-error
Evaporation pressure has fallen too low.
YesYes
low-pressure-transducer
Fault in low pressure transmitter alternatively cable fault.
YesYes
