How to Fix

  1. 1

    Note: IS E displayed without user input is an Icing Sensor error. IS E displayed after 3 hours applies to other sensor errors.

  2. 2

    Check for loose or disconnected connector between Main PCB and icing sensor.

  3. 3

    If connector is disconnected or loose, reconnect or repair the connector.

  4. 4

    Measure sensor resistance at CON5 pin 15 to pin 17. If resistance is 0 Ω (short), replace the sensor.

  5. 5

    If resistance is OL/infinite (open), replace the sensor.

  6. 6

    Cross-reference with temperature/resistance table: -30°C=40kΩ, -25°C=30kΩ, -20°C=23kΩ, -10°C=13kΩ, -5°C=10kΩ, 0°C=8kΩ.

  7. 7

    If resistance is normal for the measured temperature, explain normal operation to customer.

  8. 8

    If abnormal, replace the Main PCB.
