Bosch fault codes
15 codes from Bosch plates on FieldBench. Same number on another maker is a different code.
The list stays open.
- Protect
AHU heat limit
Electric heat limits on the BVA
Strip kit opened a limit / sequencer. This is AHU airflow or a bad element, not a BOVA P-code.
1 plate
- Protect
ATL
Ambient temperature limited
Outdoor T4 outside the allowed window (cool: T4 ≥125°F or <15°F; heat: T4 ≥86°F or <−4°F on IDS 2.0), or the reversing-valve call is wrong so the outdoor thinks it is in the wrong mode.

- Protect
C3 / C4
Condenser coil sensor seating
T3 reads implausible vs T4 (T3 < T4 − 3°F for 10 min).
1 plate
- Lockout
E4
Temperature sensor fault
T3, T3L, T4, T5, or TF out of range.
1 plate
- Lockout
E5
High / low voltage protection
Line voltage out of band (IDS: operate ~180–270 V; typical run ≥210 V).
1 plate
- Lockout
E6
Outdoor DC fan motor
Outdoor fan failed or the board is not driving it.
1 plate
- Protect
E7
Discharge sensor seating
T5 not tracking (T5 < T3 − 5°F in cool, or similar band in heat, for 10 min) — plug not on the discharge or a real high-discharge event.
1 plate
- Lockout
E9
EEPROM fault
Outdoor control EEPROM / memory chip.
1 plate
- Lockout
H0
Comm / main control chip
Communication fault in the main control / EEPROM seating. Field: indoor–outdoor handshake and the outdoor board itself.
1 plate
- Lockout
H8
Pressure transducer
Suction PT failed or disagrees with gauges.
1 plate
- Lockout
P0
High outdoor coil temp
T3 outdoor-coil overtemp.
1 plate
- Lockout
P1
High pressure switch
HPS opened (airflow, overcharge, restriction, or failed switch).
1 plate
- Lockout
P2
Low pressure / heating discharge SH
Low-pressure protection in cool, or high discharge superheat protection in heat (IDS: <44 psi for 5 min cool; high discharge SH band in heat).
1 plate
- Lockout
P3
Compressor overcurrent
Inverter current out of band (tonnage-specific trip on the IDS card).
1 plate
- Lockout
P4
High compressor discharge temp
T5 overtemp (IDS trips in steps up to a 230°F-class shutdown).
