Re: A/C question (Sliding)
It means that there is a code set in the memory due to some momentary or permanent fault that was seen during operation. if you need directions on reading the data
diagnosis
if a system fault is detected, the LED indicator above the mode button depressed on the control head will flash for one minute. Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) will then be stored. DTCs are only stored when a system fault is present. History DTC's cannot be set except for DTC 09 (LOW FREON)
To enter the diagnostic mode, push and hold the fan "up" and fan "down" arrows at the same time for about 5 seconds.
The LCD wil show "-00.", push "AUTO FAN" and the LCD will show any fault DTC's stored in the programmer
Description DTCs
none 00
temperature door motor circuit fault 01
temperature door motor circuit fault 02
outside air temp sensor open 03
outside air temp sensor short 04
inside air temp sensor open 05
inside air temp sensor short 06
sun load sensor open 07
low refrigerent detected 09
Serial data failure 10
you can check some other stuff while in the diagnostic mode like system parameteres, circuits or systems. to do this, press the fan "up" or fan "down" button. once the parameter to be checked has been chosen, the fan "AUTO" BUTTON is pressed and a diagnostic value is displayed on the LCD. once you are done, move to any other mode to exit the diagnostics.
sounds like you have a common problem. did you loose the refrigerant charge. you know you need to disconnect the battery for about 10 minutes to clear the memory codes for code 09, loss of refrigerant.
since you are getting the BLINKING lights, some codes are being set...either really or due to a non operational fault...like grounds, loose plugs, connections etc.
do the code check first and post what you find on the codes

Re: A/C question (Sliding)
Yes, they should, but if you are low then their is a leak. send me your email and I will send you some literature that you can look for the leak as a guide. will have to be after 7 pm est. glad it was helpful and thanks for the feed back. Tom
