- DaikinA5what does A5 mean on a Daikin FTKZ09VV2S or FTKZ12VV2S?on the two named FTKZ models, A5 indicates high-pressure control or freeze-up protection has operated. record the confirmed code and stop for service.
- DaikinA6what does A6 mean on a Daikin FTKZ09VV2S or FTKZ12VV2S?A6 identifies the indoor fan-motor fault area on these models. it does not establish that buying a fan motor will resolve the problem.
- DaikinC4what does C4 mean on a Daikin FTKZ09VV2S or FTKZ12VV2S?the documented C4 warning concerns heat-exchanger temperature sensing. sensor and connection diagnosis belong to service, not a remote-control repair.
- DaikinE7what does E7 mean on a Daikin FTKZ09VV2S or FTKZ12VV2S?E7 is the outdoor dc fan-motor fault indication for the named models. keep the outdoor cover closed and arrange qualified assessment.
- DaikinU0what does U0 mean on a Daikin FTKZ09VV2S or FTKZ12VV2S?the manual identifies a refrigerant-shortage indication. the cause needs qualified assessment, not an assumed top-up or diy refrigerant work.
- DaikinU4what does U4 mean on a Daikin FTKZ09VV2S or FTKZ12VV2S?U4 concerns communication between indoor and outdoor units. it is not a remote-battery warning and does not identify a failed board.
