Today we are please to offer the complete list of Mitsubishi aircon error codes. No matter you want to troubleshoot your own Mitsubishi air conditioner or troubleshooting for clients, this mitsubishi ac troubleshooting guide will help.
Let’s get started with Mitsubishi electric air conditioner error codes first.
Mitsubishi error code 0403 (Serial communication error)
Cause : The fault occurs when there is a communication issue between PCB’s in the outdoor unit. If the model number is YGMA, YHMA, YJMA, YKMA or YLMA then the issue can be between the main board and inverter board or main board and fan board.
Check Procedure :
Check for poor connections and broken wiring between the boards. If the model number is YGMA, YHMA, YJMA, YKMA or YLMA, check the error detail code using the dip-switches section of the app to determine which PCB’s the transmission fault is with. If the detail code is 1, then the issue is between the main board and inverter board.
If the detail code is 5 then the issue is between the main board and fan board. Then check for poor connections between the PCB’s.
Technical Support Notes:
If there are no loose connections on either PCBs and the voltages are good then the Fan or Inverter PCB is usually at fault. This is not normally a problem with the main PCB.
Correct testing should allow you to identify which of the 2 boards is the cause. The online document link will take you to the document library where Service Handbooks can be viewed.
Mitsubishi error code 0900 (Test run)
Cause : Test operation dipswitch on the Lossnay circuit board has been set ON.
Check Procedure :
Check the position of Dipswitch SW2-1 on the main control board. If test is not required then set the dip switch to OFF.
Mitsubishi error code 1102 (Discharge temperature fault)
Cause : Insufficient cooling of the compressor caused by lack of refrigerant or a restriction in the refrigerant circuit, high ambient running conditions or airflow problems on either indoor or outdoor unit (depending on running mode), over heating of compressor through increased friction (compressor beginning to seize), faulty thermistor reading.
Check Procedure :
Use the testing dip switches in the app and check the system running pressures/temperatures and determine if the system is short of gas or if there is a restriction in the circuit – a restriction may show frosting where refrigerant expands, this could be a blocked strainer, faulty expansion valve operation or perhaps moisture in the system.
Check compressor running current -if higher than expected this could show a compressor issue.
Mitsubishi error code 1301 (Low pressure fault)
Cause : Possible refrigerant leak. Restriction or blockage in refrigerant circuit causing low side pressure to drop. Problem with pressure sensor reading incorrectly.
Check Procedure :
Check the system standing pressure for a complete gas loss.
Use the Testing dip switches in the app and compare system gauge pressure to Low Pressure Sensor reading – If the pressure sensor is faulty it will read 0.0 bar even though there is pressure in the system.
Technical Support Notes :
Using the testing dip switches check the system running pressures/temperatures to determine if the system is short of gas or if there is a restriction/blockage in the circuit.
For refrigerant circuit diagram click the link below and type unit model number into the document library search box
Mitsubishi error code 1302 (High pressure fault)
Cause : High pressure faults are commonly caused by a blocked condenser coil, faulty fan motor, a restriction of airflow on indoor units in heating mode or a blockage/restriction in the pipework.
Check Procedure :
Check outdoor fan operates correctly, ensure no restriction of airflow across indoor/outdoor coils such as clogged filters. Use the testing dip switches in the app to check system running pressures/temperatures – This may help highlight any blockages or restrictions in the refrigerant circuit such as faulty solenoid valves or check valves stuck closed.
Technical Support Notes :
If the you reset the unit and the fault generates straight away (without running) then the high pressure switch or sensor may be at fault. Measure the switch for continuity (normally closed) and use the dip switches to check the pressure sensor reading against your gauge pressure.
Mitsubishi error code 1500 (Refrigerant overcharge)
Cause : Normally caused by excessive refrigerant returning to the outdoor unit which over-cools the compressor. System is either over-charged or there are valves operating incorrectly allowing refrigerant to ‘flood’ back to the compressor.
Check Procedure :
Check correct reading of high pressure sensor and discharge thermistor. Check for excessive refrigerant returning to the outdoor unit through overcharge of gas, incorrect valve operation in the system or issue with linear expansion valve (LEV) control in BC Box or Indoor unit
Technical Support Notes :
An indoor LEV stuck open can be an obvious cause to this issue. Try running the system in full cooling and then checking if there is an indoor unit that performs much better than the others.
Mitsubishi error code 2500 (Drain sensor submergence)
Cause : Water pump off/faulty. Water flow rate too slow. Float switch faulty.
Check Procedure :
Check water pump. Check water flow rate. Check continuity of float switch.
Mitsubishi error code 2502 (Drain pump fault)
Cause : The indoor unit drain float has detected a high water level in the drip tray.
Check Procedure :
Check the indoor drip tray for water. If there is excessive water then there may be an issue with the internal pump or drains. If the tray is dry or hasn’t enough water to lift the float switch then check the float switch for continuity. If the switch is lifted the circuit should be made. If the switch is down then the circuit should be open.
Technical Support Notes :
The internal lift pump is not activated by the float switch, the pump is activated when cooling mode is selected. This fault is triggered by the float switch circuit closing.
Mitsubishi error code 2503 (Drain sensor fault)
Cause : The drain sensor is open/short circuit.
Check Procedure :
If the drip tray is clear then check the resistance of the drain sensor as an open circuit or short circuit can cause the fault.
Technical Support Notes :
Check the wiring diagram to see if the indoor unit has a float switch or sensor. If the wiring diagram shows a float switch and not a sensor check the dip switch settings for the unit model you are working on.
