E45
Inverter to Outdoor PCB Transmission Error
Mitsubishi Electric · R410A Systems
What does E45 mean?
A communication error has occurred between the inverter and the outdoor unit PCB, possibly due to a loose connection at the Cn1 terminal. This disrupts the control of the compressor by the inverter.
Common Causes
- Communication failure between the inverter's main PCB and the outdoor unit's control PCB.
- Loose or damaged communication wiring (e.g., terminal blocks P1-P5).
- Faulty main PCB on either the inverter or outdoor unit.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Inspect the Cn1 connector on both the outdoor unit PCB and the inverter board — verify it is securely seated.
- 2
Check the continuity and integrity of the wiring connected to Cn1 using a multimeter.
- 3
Verify stable power supply to both the inverter board and the outdoor unit PCB.
