Daikin Mini-Split Code H9
Warning
Outdoor temperature thermistor or related abnormality. The outdoor air temperature sensor is reading open or shorted (input voltage above 4.96 V or below 0.04 V).
Manual wording: “H9 Outdoor temperature thermistor or related abnormality”
Documented for: RKS/RXS pair outdoor units, FTXM-W/V outdoor units, RMXS multi-split outdoor
Likely causes, most common first
- Disconnection of the connector for the thermistor
- Defective thermistor corresponding to the error code
- Defective outdoor unit PCB
What you can safely check yourself
- Turn the system off at the breaker or disconnect switch and back on once
When to call a technician
The sensor and its connector are inside the outdoor unit. A technician has to check the thermistor's resistance and reseat or replace it.
A Daikin mini-split throwing this code repeatedly has a reason — clearing the code without fixing the cause just hides it.
