Payne fault codes

34 documented codes for Payne furnaces, each cited to the manufacturer's own manual. Payne is a Carrier (ICP) value brand and uses the same furnace control boards and the same status-code numbering as Carrier and Bryant. A Payne PG92/PG95/PG96 flashes the same code numbers as the equivalent Carrier 58-series or Bryant furnace..

Furnace codes

CodeMeaningSeverity
LED offAmber status LED is completely darkThe control board has no powerWarning
rapid flashAmber LED blinking rapidly with no pause between flashesLine voltageHard lockout
10.1Rapid flashing LED; 10.1 on the 3-digit displayL1 polarity fault - the polarity of the incoming 115 V power is reversedHard lockout
111 short flash, 1 long flashNo previous codeStatus
121 short flash, 2 long flashesBlower on after power up - normal operationStatus
131 short flash, 3 long flashesLimit circuit lockoutSoft lockout
141 short flash, 4 long flashesIgnition lockoutSoft lockout
14.2Major code 14 flashed on the LED (1 short, 4 long); 14.2 on the displayFlame lost lockout - the flame signal was lost three times after the heating blower on-delaySafety fault
14.3Major code 14 flashed on the LED (1 short, 4 long); 14.3 on the displayFlame lost lockout - the flame signal was lost seven times during a single heat requestSafety fault
212 short flashes, 1 long flashGas heating lockoutHard lockout
222 short flashes, 2 long flashesAbnormal flame-proving signalSafety fault
232 short flashes, 3 long flashesPressure switch did not openWarning
23.3Major code 23 flashed on the LED (2 short, 3 long); 23.3 on the displayOver pressure at start-upWarning
242 short flashes, 4 long flashesThe 24 V secondary voltage fuse on the control board is open, which means there is a short in the low-voltage wiringHard lockout
252 short flashes, 5 long flashesInvalid model selection or setup errorWarning
25.1Major code 25 flashed on the LED (2 short, 5 long); 25.1 on the displayNo program information in the control's microprocessor - there is no heating operation until the control is programmedHard lockout
26.12 short flashes, 6 long flashes; 26.1 on the displayLoose factory wiring - a jumper in the factory wiring harness is loose or disconnectedWarning
272 short flashes, 7 long flashes; minor codes 27.1 through 27.3The program in the super plug is missing, not recognized, or corruptedHard lockout
313 short flashes, 1 long flashPressure switch did not close or reopenedWarning
31.4Major code 31 on the LED (3 short, 1 long); 31.4 on the displayLoss of pressure before the blower comes onWarning
31.5Major code 31 on the LED (3 short, 1 long); 31.5 on the displayLoss of pressure after the blower comes onWarning
323 short flashes, 2 long flashesLow-heatWarning
333 short flashes, 3 long flashesLimit circuit faultSoft lockout
343 short flashes, 4 long flashesIgnition proving failureWarning
34.2Major code 34 on the LED (3 short, 4 long); 34.2 on the displayFlame lost - after successful ignitionSafety fault
34.3Major code 34 on the LED (3 short, 4 long); 34.3 on the displayFlame lost - after successful ignitionSafety fault
34.4Major code 34 on the LED (3 short, 4 long); 34.4 on the displayFlame lost while the furnace was operating at reduced inducer pressure following a previous 34Safety fault
424 short flashes, 2 long flashes; minor codes 42.1, 42.2 and 42.3Inducer RPM faultWarning
434 short flashes, 3 long flashesLow-heat pressure switch open while the high-heat pressure switch is closed - a contradictory pressure-switch state on a two-stage furnaceWarning
454 short flashes, 5 long flashesControl circuitry lockoutSoft lockout
45.1Major code 45 on the LED (4 short, 5 long); 45.1 on the displayControl failure - flame circuit fault, memory mismatch, or sequence error on the control boardSoft lockout
45.2Major code 45 on the LED (4 short, 5 long); 45.2 on the displayControl failure - the gas valve relay will not closeSafety fault
45.3Major code 45 on the LED (4 short, 5 long); 45.3 on the displayControl failure - EEPROM memory issue on the control boardSoft lockout
46.14 short flashes, 6 long flashes; 46.1 on the displayMomentary loss of powerStatus
