What it means
bj means humidity sensor failure. In plain English, the named temperature or air-quality sensor is not sending a believable reading, so the control cannot trust that part of the system.
Urgency
advisory
Try one safe reset only. If the code returns, the sensor circuit needs service.
Likely causes
- The named sensor has failed or drifted out of range
- Sensor connector or harness is loose, damaged, or corroded
- Control board input is misreading the sensor circuit
Homeowner fix
Turn the system off with the remote, then power cycle once at the breaker or disconnect if you can do that safely. Do not open covers, unplug sensors, or spray cleaner into the sensor area.
When to call a pro
Call a licensed HVAC technician if bj returns after one safe reset or the condition will not clear. Tell them the official source lists bj as Humidity sensor failure.
