    This document provides troubleshooting steps for an Inverter Power Module (IPM) error or if the compressor does not start. The steps include: 1) Turning off power to the outdoor unit and waiting 3 minutes for DC voltage to discharge. 2) Checking that the IPM is wired correctly according to the schematic and taking resistance readings on the IPM after removing all wires. 3) If the resistance readings are incorrect or outside of the specified ranges, replace the board containing the IPM and possibly other boards.

    IPM Troubleshooting

    This Tech Tip is to be used if The Inverter Power Module (IPM) is


    you are getting an IPM error or located where the compressor leads
    attach to the printed circuit
    the compressor does not start.
    board(PCB).They are marked U,V and W
    on the PCB and where the Yellow and
    1.Turn power off to outdoor unit and Blue wires attach P and N
    wait 3 minutes for DC voltage to
    discharge.
    2.Check that IPM is wired Test 2
    correctly.(According to Schematic) Place meter in (Diode mode)
    3.Check the following resistance values
    on the IPM. (Before taking resistance
    readings remove all wires connected to the
    IPM.On certain models the red and black wires
    to the ACTPM and white and black wires to
    CN200 on control board should also be
    removed.)
    4. All readings on test 1 should be
    within +/- 20 ohms of each other and
    test 2 should be within values shown.

    Test 1
    Place meter in (Mega Ohms)

    5.If the readings on Tests 1 or 2 are


    incorrect and the wiring is correct
    replace the board that contains the IPM
    and depending on model the ACTPM
    board if it has one.
    6.When your IPM is bad you will also
    need to ohm out compressor and test
    outdoor fan motor according to Tech Tip
    #008 and confirm both are good before
    replacing the IPM or any other boards.
