Two-stage outdoor · R-32

  • Outdoor board, not AMVC E-codes.
  • R-32 nameplate.

Sequence

  1. Y1 / low. Outdoor starts low capacity. Indoor blower on low/mid Cool tap (24V) or communicating CFM (ComfortBridge indoor).
  2. Y2 / high. Second stage. Head and subcooling should rise into the OEM SC window.
  3. Communicating pair. GMVC96 / AVPTC indoor requests capacity on the data pair. No conventional Y needed. A 24V GR9T96 on that same pair is a miswire.

Faults on this IFC

  • HPS

    High pressure

    lockout

    Outdoor airflow, overcharge, or restriction opened the high-pressure switch.

    • Outdoor fan running? Coil dirty, recirc, bent fins.
    • Subcooling vs indoor TXV sheet. Liquid-line drier / restriction.
    • Do not keep resetting HPS into a locked fan.
  • LPS

    Low pressure / freeze

    lockout

    Suction dropped out — charge, indoor airflow, or TXV.

    • Indoor filter, blower, coil freeze. Do not add gas on a frozen coil.
    • TXV / restriction. Weigh-out if the history is a leak.
    • Low ambient and wind can nuisance-trip LPS on a light load — still prove charge.
  • Comm

    Indoor/outdoor data

    lockout

    ComfortBridge data pair only. Invalid as a diagnosis on a 24V Y1/Y2 hookup.

    • Data pair polarity and splices. This is not 24V Y.
    • Indoor IFC family must be GMVC / AVPTC communicating. GR9T96 / GMEC96 / GMSS96 cannot be the ComfortBridge indoor.
    • One master on the bus. Outdoor board power before you condemn the indoor IFC.

Workflows

Stuck on low, ALXT7C

Y2 never arrives.

  1. Prove Y2 at the outdoor.
  2. R-32 SC on the TXV indoor.
  3. Not an ASXC18 410A chart.
