What it means
When the red ERROR LED is blinking, briefly pressing SW1 makes the MONITOR LEDs blink out the dot-decimal diagnostic code. The display method is not a separate failure.
Urgency
Not an error
This is a normal status or service-mode indication, not an error, unless comfort is poor, the status never clears, or a separate SW1 fault code appears.
Likely causes
- Indoor/outdoor communication wiring or terminal problem
- Loose low-voltage connector after service or vibration
- Power interruption during the control handshake
- Indoor or outdoor control board fault after wiring is verified
Homeowner fix
Record the exact dot-decimal code and which indoor position LED is lit, if visible. Do not remove covers or probe wiring to read more.
When to call a pro
Call a licensed HVAC technician if any fault code is shown. Give them the exact SW1/MONITOR code and the indoor unit letter if one was indicated.
Repair vs replace
This is a status display, not a repair-or-replace decision.
