A technician checks the high-stage switch, control relay and gas valve wiring, plus the venting, inducer and pressure measurements that also apply to code 3. Jumpering the switch is not a repair.
Possible causes
- Control relay or gas valve wiring problem TECH
- Vent, combustion air or inducer issues as with code 3 TECH
