P22 Alarm
Alarm code P22
Alarm meaning Fan motor trouble
Alarm conditions Fan motor start failure, fan motor Hall IC input failure
Probable cause Possible causes are a Hall IC input circuit failure and a fan HIC failure.
Check Check the fan motor wiring, the Hall IC wiring, and the connector connections.
If the wiring and connectors are normal, then check that the capacitor of the Hall IC input circuit
is securely soldered on the outdoor unit control PCB. Also use a tester and measure the
resistance between fan HIC power (HIC+) and ground (HIC–).
If there is a short-circuit, there is an HIC malfunction.
HIC PCB for 8HP to 16HP
(A747038)
HIC PCB for 18HP and 20HP
(A747036)
Correction If the fan does not start, the below corrections may be effective.
(1) If there is a fan HIC failure or circuit failure, replace the PCB.
(2) If the fan motor is locked, replace the fan motor.
Example —
Notes Turn OFF the power, and check the continuity of "+" and "–" on the fan circuit PCB.
