Fd Vapor injection outlet sensor fault

Medium severity Viessmann Vitocal 200-S DLCM(R/H)B multi-zone outdoor

What the control is telling you

The enhanced vapor injection outlet temperature sensor is open or shorted. Shown on the 48K high heat model.

Applies to: DLCMHBH48EAK (48K high heat) only

Test and repair steps

  1. Safety kill power at the disconnect and wait for the inverter capacitors to discharge before touching boards or wiring.
  2. Check the sensor plug on the board and the wire for damage.
  3. Unplug the sensor and measure its resistance. T1-T4 sensors read about 10 kOhm at 77 F (25 C); the discharge sensor (T5/TP) about 54.9 kOhm at 77 F. Compare with the sensor resistance tables.
  4. Out of range or open/shorted replace the sensor. Sensor reads fine: replace the board it plugs into.
