Control Panel Fault Code Listing

NOTE: Reference fault code #23*: In ambient temperatures below 0°C, this code may be logged because the low ambient causes a temporary low gas pressure.
NOTE: Where the ambient temperature rises above 40°C, with the engine close to overheating, electrical feed to the compressor clutch may be cut and code #23 registered.
