Hello everyone, I recently started working on Trane units and Ive been running into a couple of issues. I was working on a train voyager and ran it in test mode. The unit runs perfectly in test mode but as soon as I try to run it by using the thermostat it doesn't work. The only thing that works is the blower motor. This unit in particular has a faded wiring diagram m. Any ideas on what could be the issue or on what I should check? Thanks for any help.

rule the thermostat out first, if that doesn't work look carefully on the back of the reliatel board for dark/burnt resistors or sections
Originally Posted by Dalton92 rule the thermostat out first, if that doesn't work look carefully on the back of the reliatel board for dark/burnt resistors or sections I'll definitely do that. The thermostat I verified is working so I already ruled that out.

How do you know the thermostat is working? Did you verify a heating or cooling call at the rtrm? Did you try jumpering any input at the rtrm to make it run? If it runs when jumpered up there you have a bad thermostat or faulty wiring. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Set the stat for heat. Confirm a visual W1 call by whatever indication shows "heat" on the stat. Sometimes it is the word "heat," and sometimes an icon of a flame, etc. Now, go to the unit and measure voltage at thew W1 terminal of the RTRM board. If you have it, then see if you have voltage to the combustion fan motor.

Do the Voyager units use that special Trane stat (I forgot what it is called but varies voltage I think). If you use a normal stat you new an interface board? Been a long time since I worked on one of these.

Don't confuse the Microtel board with the Reliable board.
I confirmed voltage at the RTRM. Thermostat is working.
I tried to jump in the unit at the RTRM but that wouldn't work also. The CTI board allows the unit to use any conventional thermostat.
Wouldnt be the first bad CTI board. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

If it has an RTRM board then it has Reliatel controls and doesn't require a CTI board. Reliatel control boards have "Trane" terminals 1-12 or so as well as "conventional" terminals R-G-Y-W etc directly on the board. Older Voyager units have Voyager or "black book" controls which require a "CTI" or Conventioal Thermostat Interface board to use a regular 24v stat. Post a pic of what you're working on, it would help greatly.

I had a similar issue to this but it was on a UCP not an RTRM. RTRM's have terminals for a conventional thermostat as well as the Trane zone sensor. If you have a conventional thermostat interface I would imagine you have Micro controls and a UCP rather than Reliatel and an RTRM. If it runs in test mode and you verified the thermostat works properly my assumption would be the CTI, is there another RTU you could swap with to verify? Another thing, did you cycle through all the test modes and verify operation? I once had a UCP that wouldn't respond at all to the zone sensor and would run cool in test mode but when I would advance the test to heating mode it would not operate, failed UCP. If you're going to be doing a lot of work on these types of units I suggest you get or make yourself a decade box. Makes life a little easier, especially in winter when you'd rather not be banging compressors on and off.

Did I miss the model # somewhere? Is this a voyager or a prescedent? make sure the machine DOES NOT have a heat & cool call simultanously.
It`s better to be silent and thought the fool; than speak and remove all doubt.

I had that twice this past season. Originally Posted by dandyme Did I miss the model # somewhere? Is this a voyager or a prescedent? make sure the machine DOES NOT have a heat & cool call simultanously.
I do a triple evac with nitro to remove non condensables.
Are there any other similar units on the roof? If so, swap the CTI boards. Rinse and repeat.

If this unit has a CTI board, look at the front of the CTI board and make sure none of the components are leaning over and touching another component. CTI boards parts are soldered very high on the board for some reason and can easily be bent over. I had one that drove me crazy. It was just some capacitor looking thing barely touching another capacitor thing. I bent it back and everything worked.

Dude, I work on Trane RTU’s on the daily. I carry 2 RTRM boards on my van at all times. They’ll usually go into test mode fine but won’t respond to a call. Sounds like you may have troubleshooting a no heat? Anyway, 9 times out of ten it’s a failed RTRM board. Make sure there’s no alarms present, the green led on the RTRM board should be solid. If it’s blinking you have an active alarm. There is no diagnostic code and a very convoluted way of measuring voltage at pins and cross referencing them. It’s easier to just check the safeties and limits then to try and find what alarm it’s throwing trust me, call Trane (if your company has a Trane technical service account, if not you’re screwed there too). So, if you have a solid green led on the RTRM board and no alarms on the ignition board and 24 Vac coming back to the W1 or Y1 terminal but no operation besides fan. I can almost guarantee it’s a failed RTRM board. They’ll usually run fine in test mode and other modes they’ll just fail in either heat or cool modes. I have a lot of experience with this specific failure to the RTRM boards. They update these boards constantly. I think they’re on version 24 or 25 by now and hopefully your local Trane Supply has them in stock as these boards seem to fail more than any other rtu circuit board out there. If you have to order it and wait you can easily bypass the RTRM board. For cooling take wire from Y1(and Y2 if equipped) to the out wire for each set of pressure switches. For heat just need to take the W ( and W2 if equipped) and connect it to the corresponding heat 1 and 2 wires. This will get you by until a new board arrives but don’t leave the unit like this long term. I have never had to bypass RTRM board in heat mode as I live in New Orleans. But you should be pretty easy depending on your experience. Order a few extra RTRM boards if you will continue working on these units. I probably replaced 6-8 in 2018 so far.

He said it had a CTI board so that would rule out a RTRM.

Trane Defrost Control Board LED Codes | Solve Common Issue!

If your Trane furnace is equipped with a defrost control board , you can use the LED codes to help troubleshoot any problems that may arise. The most common code is the “red flash” which indicates that the board is in defrost mode.

Other codes include the “green flash” which means that the furnace is operating normally, and the “amber flash” which indicates a problem with the igniter.

Trane Defrost Control Board LED Codes

Trane Defrost Control Board LED Codes

The Trane Defrost Control Board is a crucial component of HVAC systems that helps to regulate the defrost cycle, ensuring the efficient functioning of the system. The board is equipped with LED codes that allow troubleshooting and identification of issues that could arise during operation.

The codes and their meanings are as follows:

  • Steady Green LED – The system is operating normally.
  • Steady Red LED – The defrost control board has detected a fault and is in lockout mode.
  • Flashing Red LED – The sensor is not detecting proper temperature, indicating a possible faulty sensor or a wiring issue.
  • Flashing Green LED – The system is in defrost mode, and the board is actively monitoring the process.
  • Steady On – Power is present
  • Flashing Slowly – Normal operation
  • Flashing Rapidly – Defrost is active
  • Two Flashes – High-pressure switch open
  • Three Flashes – Low-pressure switch open
  • Four Flashes – Auxiliary limit switch open
  • Five Flashes – Outdoor temperature sensor fault
  • Six Flashes – Reversing valve fault
  • Seven Flashes – Defrost control board fault

Understanding these LED codes is crucial for HVAC technicians to identify and resolve any issues that may arise in the Trane Defrost Control Board.

What are the Codes for a Trane Furnace?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the codes for a Trane furnace will vary depending on the model and year of your furnace. However, you can generally find the code information for your furnace in the owner’s manual or by contacting Trane customer service.

How Do You Test a Trane Defrost Board?

There are a few things that you need to do in order to test a Trane defrost board. The first thing that you will need to do is locate the board. Once you have found the board, you will want to remove it from the unit. Next, you will want to check for any visual damage on the board. If there is any damage, you will want to replace the board. If there is no visual damage, you will then want to connect a multimeter to the board. You will want to set the multimeter to ohms and check for continuity between the two terminals on the board. If there is continuity, then the board is good. However, if there is no continuity, then the board needs to be replaced.

How Do You Test a Trane Defrost Board

What Causes a Hard Lockout on a Heat Pump?

A hard lockout on a heat pump is caused by a number of different things. The most common cause is when the outdoor temperature drops below the minimum set point for the heat pump. This can be caused by a number of different things, including a cold front moving in, or simply the temperature dropping at night. When this happens, the heat pump will shut off completely in order to prevent damage from happening to the unit. Another common cause of a hard lockout is when the indoor temperature sensor fails. This can cause the heat pump to think that the indoor temperature is too low, even when it isn’t, and as a result, it will shut off. Finally, if there is a problem with the outdoor fan, this can also cause a hard lockout. If the fan isn’t able to turn on, then the heat pump won’t be able to circulate air properly and it will shut down in order to prevent overheating.

What Does Hard Lockout Mean on a Trane Heat Pump?

If your Trane heat pump is locked out, it means that the system has been turned off and can’t be restarted until a qualified technician resets it. This usually happens when the system detects a problem that could cause damage or harm, such as an overheating condition.

Once the problem has been resolved, the lockout can be reset and the heat pump will operate normally again.

Trane 4Twr4 Fault Codes

If you’re a Trane 4TWR4 owner, you know that these units are some of the most reliable and durable on the market. But even the best units can develop faults over time. If your 4TWR4 is displaying a fault code, it’s important to know what that code means so you can take steps to fix the problem. There are four main fault codes that your 4TWR4 may display:

• Code 01: This indicates that there is a problem with the unit’s condenser fan. The most likely cause is a dirty or damaged fan blade. You’ll need to clean or replace the blade to fix this problem.

• Code 02: This indicates that there is a problem with the unit’s evaporator fan. The most likely cause is a dirty or damaged fan blade. You’ll need to clean or replace the blade to fix this problem.

• Code 03: This indicates that there is a problem with the unit’s compressor. The most likely cause is a blown fuse or tripped breaker.

Trane LED Codes

If you have a Trane furnace, you may be wondering what the different LED codes mean. Here is a list of the most common codes and their meanings:

Blinking Green Light: This indicates that the furnace is in standby mode and waiting for a call for heat. Solid Green Light: This means that the furnace is operating normally.

Flashing Red Light : This code indicates that there is an error with the furnace. The specific error will be displayed on the control panel. Consult your owner’s manual for troubleshooting steps.

Continuous Red Light: This means that the limit switch has been activated and the furnace needs to be serviced by a qualified technician.

Trane Furnace Error Codes

Trane furnace error codes are an essential diagnostic tool for identifying issues with your heating system. These codes not only help technicians identify problems quickly but also provide homeowners with the necessary information to troubleshoot issues before calling a professional.

Here are the most common Trane furnace error codes and their meanings:

  • 2 flashes: Indicates a problem with the pressure switch.
  • 3 flashes: Indicates an issue with the draft inducer motor.
  • 4 flashes: Indicates an open limit switch.
  • 5 flashes: Indicates a problem with the flame sensor.
  • 6 flashes: Indicates an issue with the rollout switch.
  • 7 flashes: Indicates a problem with the gas valve.
  • 8 flashes: Indicates a problem with Low flame sense signal.
  • 9 flashes: Indicates a problem with Igniter.

By familiarizing yourself with these codes, you’ll be better equipped to handle any furnace issues that arise.

Trane furnace error codes

Besides the above, you may also find the following error codes for Trane Furnace:

  • 126: Internal control fault
  • 131: Ignition failure
  • 132: Flame sensor failure
  • 133: Limit circuit fault
  • 147: Low flame signal
  • 151: Blower motor fault
  • 161: AC power loss
  • 164: Open high-limit device

These error codes can help a technician quickly identify the issue and provide a solution, ensuring that your Trane furnace runs smoothly and efficiently.

Trane Troubleshooting Guide

If your Trane unit isn’t working properly, you may be able to troubleshoot and fix the problem yourself. This Trane Troubleshooting Guide will help you identify common issues and provide solutions. First, check the thermostat to make sure it is set correctly. If the thermostat is set too low, the unit won’t run. If the thermostat is set too high, the unit will run continuously without cooling the home. Next, check for power failures. The circuit breaker may have tripped or a fuse may have blown. Reset the breaker or replace the fuse and see if that fixes the problem. If your unit still isn’t running, there could be an issue with the actual unit itself. First, check to see if there is debris blocking the air intake or exhaust vents. If so, remove the debris and try again. Next, check for freezing coils. Ice can build up on the coils and prevent proper airflow. Turn off your unit and let it thaw for several hours before restarting it again. Finally, if all else fails, call a professional for assistance.

Trane Air Handler Blinking Lights

If you have a Trane air handler in your home, you may have noticed that the lights on the unit are blinking. While this may be alarming at first, it’s actually a normal part of the unit’s operation. The blinking lights indicate that the air handler is in standby mode and is waiting for a command from the thermostat. Once the thermostat tells the air handler to start, the lights will stop blinking and the unit will begin heating or cooling your home as needed.

Trane Voyager Error Codes

If you’re getting error codes on your Trane Voyager, it means there’s a problem with the unit. Here are some common error codes and what they mean:

E01 – This indicates that the evaporator temperature is too high. Check to make sure that the coils are clean and that the air filter isn’t clogged.

E02 – This code means that the condenser temperature is too high. Again, check the coils and air filter. Make sure the unit has proper ventilation.

E03 – The third code stands for “freeze protection.” This means that the unit is sensing a potential for freezing temperatures and is shutting down to prevent damage. Check your thermostat settings and make sure the unit is in heating mode. If it still doesn’t work, call a technician. These are just a few of the most common Trane Voyager error codes . If you’re experiencing problems with your unit, don’t hesitate to call a technician or reference your owner’s manual for more information.

Trane Ac Blinking Green Light

If you have a Trane air conditioner , you may have noticed that the green light is blinking. This is normal and indicates that the unit is in standby mode. The green light will blink when the unit is first turned on, and then it will remain lit when the unit is running. If the green light starts blinking again, it means that the unit has been turned off and is in standby mode once again.

Trane Eev Control Board Troubleshooting

If you have a Trane EEV control board that is giving you trouble, there are some things you can do to troubleshoot the problem. First, check all of the connections to make sure they are tight and secure. Next, check the circuit breaker to see if it has tripped. If neither of these solutions solves the problem, you may need to replace the control board.

Heat Pump Defrost Board: Diagnostic Procedures

The Trane Defrost Control Board is responsible for managing the defrost cycle of your Trane AC unit. If there is a problem with the board, it will display an error code on the LED display.

This article lists the codes and what they mean, so you can troubleshoot the issue and get your AC unit up and running again.
