Power switch contacts might be inoperative.

Gas Doesn't Ignite/ No Spark/ No Ignition Light ON

Check for the shorted electrode on ignitor or flame sense.

Heat relay, R3 might have malfunctioned.

A high voltage ignitor cable is opened.

An inoperative transformer might be caused the issue.

The high limit thermostat could be opened.

Check for the malfunction of interconnecting wiring.

Sometimes, it might be caused by an ignition module.

Sparks but Gas Doesn’t Ignite

The gas solenoid valve may be in OFF or inoperative mode.

Er01 - ROM Checksum Error

It will be caused by an internal ROM malfunction. You can fix this error with the cycle power.

Er02 - RAM Checksum Error

Because of internal RAM malfunction, Er02 will occur. With cycle power, it is able to fix the problem.

Er03 - Ambient Sensor Error

If the ambient temperature is below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, you can get this error code. So, you need to verify the ambient temperature at the control.

Er04 - Configuration Error

It will occur because of microprocessor malfunction. Cycle power might be the solution.

Er05 - EEprom  Error

It indicates that the power loss while storing data.

Er06 - Zone 1 A/D Underflow Error

When an incorrect sensor type is used or measuring temperature is outside the specified range, the 06 code occurs.
