Lockout

Draft / PS

High-fire or active-stage prove failed.

Walk 31 in Diagnose

13 plates — walk the one on the cabinet

First check

1 Prove inducer and the live code

Do not pull power — that clears the Bryant 800S active code. Write 31. Is the inducer spinning on this call? Silent inducer is not a pressure switch. Cap, liner, common vent, inducer wheel. Not a PVC trap.

Expect: 120 VAC at the inducer on a heat call. Wheel turning.

If fail: 120 VAC missing → IFC / door switch / incoming power. Voltage + dead motor → inducer.

If pass: Inducer running + this code → trap, hose, switch, vent (step 2).

The rest of the walkthrough is Diagnose.

On the plates

  • Trap, collector, PVC, wind, inducer RPM (42 if the inducer itself is out of band).
  • If open >5 min, many of these IFCs park the inducer 15 min before retry.
  • Trap, collector, PVC, wind, inducer. One hose, one switch.
  • Do not hunt a high-fire hose.
  • Does the inducer actually go high?
  • High-fire hose not teed to the low switch.
  • Vent capacity on 100/120 cabinets.
  • Trap, collector, PVC, wind, inducer. 912S still has a 92% collector — not a chimney.

31 on Bryant is not the same code on these plates.
