what does U4 mean on a Daikin FTKZ09VV2S or FTKZ12VV2S?
U4 concerns failed communication between the indoor and outdoor units on Daikin FTKZ09VV2S and FTKZ12VV2S. it is not the same as a flat remote battery or an unresponsive remote.
model scope: Daikin FTKZ09VV2S and FTKZ12VV2S.
use the linked reporting guide to record a safely confirmed fault, then stop operation and supply the exact model to an air-conditioning technician. do not order a control board or remote solely because U4 appears; the cause still needs diagnosis.
keep covers closed and leave wiring and connection checks to qualified service. repeated resets do not establish that communication has been repaired. a code merely passed during scanning is not a confirmed fault without the model's long-beep indication.
for a burning smell, water leakage or recurring breaker trip, stop and isolate safely instead of running another check. this article does not transfer U4 meaning to the australian Cora family or other units.
