Error Code: PC 45 – Outdoor Unit IR Chip Drive Failure
What this means:
This error indicates that the IR (Intelligent Regulator) chip on the inverter PCB has detected a parameter error in itself. The failure is flagged when the outdoor unit powers on, and the system halts to prevent further damage.
Try this first (quick reset):
Turn off power to the unit.
Wait at least 2 minutes.
Power the unit back on and observe the LED or error display.
If the error clears — normal operation resumes.
If the error remains — proceed to replacement.
Next steps (for technicians):
Replace the inverter module PCB.
What you might need:
Inverter module PCB
Helpful tip:
PC 45 is specific to startup conditions. If this error appears at power-on and does not clear with a restart, the inverter board is considered irrecoverable and must be replaced.
