Trane
HPS / LPS
LockoutPressure protection
Still real on an inverter. High = outdoor airflow / overcharge / restriction. Low = charge, indoor airflow, metering.
Walk HPS / LPS in Diagnose
2 plates — walk the one on the cabinet
First check
1 Let it cool, then read the drive LED
On Trane XV18 overcurrent / overheat is often a dirty coil, a failed OD fan, or a locked compressor — not a dead inverter. Clear airflow, confirm the OD fan, and read the drive LED before you order a control. Outdoor fan actually running? A failed outdoor fan on this unit is a drive/fan-motor path, not a cap.
Expect: OD fan running. Coil clean. Drive LED decoded from THIS outdoor’s card.
The rest of the walkthrough is Diagnose.
On the plates
- Outdoor fan actually running? A failed outdoor fan on this unit is a drive/fan-motor path, not a cap.
- Coil cleanliness both sides.
- Charge is weigh-in + line-set. Do not ‘top off’ to a piston SH number.
Plates that use HPS / LPS
Same number, other makers
HPS / LPS on Trane is not the same code on these plates.
