It is judged an error when outdoor unit capacity not yet setup or systematically unauthorized setting.
Check : Connect the outdoor maintenance remote controller and check whether item code 81 outdoor capacity value 
shows "0" or unauthorized capacity is set on the detailed setting mode display of the outdoor EEPROM. 
If the capacity value of the item code 81 with the outdoor maintenance remote controller is incorrect, recorrect and 
set it again.
* After setting the capacity value, be sure to reset the power supply switches of both indoor and outdoor units.

L18 4-way valve operation failure
Error Detection Method
Error Diagnosis
It is judged an error when during heating operation (Comp. ON), the highest detected temperature at an outdoor unit
heat exchanger (C1) was 20°C or more above the outdoor air temperature (Air Temp.) continuously for 5 minutes or 
longer, or the detected suction temperature (SCT) was 20°C or more above the outdoor air temperature continuously 
for 5 minutes or longer.

P04 Actuation of High Pressure Switch
Error Detection Method
Error Diagnosis
It is judged an error if the internal circuit of the high pressure switch is dead.
The electronic circuitry of the high pressure switch is cut off if the pressure at the pressure sensor port of the high pressure
switch reaches 3.80 MPa. Once it is cut off, it remains cut off until the pressure drops to 3.15 MPa.
The high pressure switch is malfunctioning.
Service valve inside the outdoor unit closed
There is a short air circuit through the outdoor unit’s heat exchanger. (when cooling)
The outdoor unit’s fan is broken. (when cooling)
The outdoor unit’s heat exchanger is clogged. (when cooling)
There is a short air circuit at the indoor unit. (when heating)
The filter of the indoor unit is clogged. (when heating)
The fan of the indoor unit is broken or the fan motor is malfunctioning. (when heating)
The refrigerant circuit is closed and the high pressure is increasing abnormally high. 
(solenoid valve or expansion valve not activated, a stuck check valve, etc.)
Refrigerant overcharged.
Nitrogen or air contaminated in the refrigerant system
