York YSC Rooftop Unit Error Codes: Complete Guide

The York YSC series is a light commercial packaged rooftop unit covering 2–12.5 tons. Fault codes are displayed via the LED on the IFC board (flash codes) and alphanumeric codes on the optional diagnostic panel or communicating thermostat.

Most Common YSC Faults and Fixes

E6 / E7 — High-Pressure Lockout

The most frequent YSC summer fault:

  1. Check condenser coil — clean if dirty
  2. Verify all condenser fan motors are running (check run capacitors)
  3. Check refrigerant charge — superheat and subcooling
  4. Confirm the high-pressure switch trips correctly (replace if stuck open or failing intermittently)

Flash 4 — Open Limit Switch

The most frequent YSC heating fault:

  1. Replace dirty air filter
  2. Confirm all supply grilles are open and unobstructed
  3. Check blower motor and run capacitor
  4. Test limit switch continuity at room temperature

E2 / E3 / E4 — Sensor Faults

Temperature sensors on York YSC units have a nominal resistance of 10K ohms at 77°F (25°C). Check resistance with a multimeter and compare to the resistance chart in the service manual.

Flash 6 — Ignition Lockout

  1. Measure gas pressure at manifold: 3.5 in. w.c. natural gas
  2. Inspect hot surface igniter for cracks
  3. Clean or replace flame sensor
  4. Check for combustion air obstructions

Technician Tips

York YSC rooftop units can report both heating and cooling faults from the same control system, so do not stop at the first flash count. Record whether the call was for heat, cooling, or fan-only operation, then check the matching side of the unit: condenser fan and pressure switches for E6/E7 cooling trips, blower airflow and limits for heat trips, and sensor resistance for E2 through E5 faults.

DIY vs Pro: Filter changes, coil cleaning, visual wiring checks, and sensor resistance checks are reasonable for a skilled maintenance tech. Gas valve work, refrigerant diagnosis, compressor faults, and rooftop electrical work should go to a licensed commercial HVAC contractor.

Need Replacement Parts?

Before ordering, match the HVAC part to the model number, electrical rating, and failure symptom. Check current prices on Amazon - prices and availability change frequently.

Note: The York YSC shares many components with the Coleman and Luxaire commercial RTU lines. Parts are interchangeable.
