First check
1 Which sensor is this code?
On Bosch BOVA 2.0 E7 is a specific thermistor — indoor return/pipe, outdoor coil, discharge, or ambient. Unplug that sensor and ohm it vs the OEM temperature/resistance chart. T5 fully on the discharge tube. 5K sensor.
Expect: Ohms move with temperature. Not open, not shorted.
The rest of the walkthrough is Diagnose.
On the plates
- T5 fully on the discharge tube. 5K sensor.
- If T5 is seated and hot, that is charge / restriction / P4 territory — do not just reseat forever.
