Risk level

Medium

Proceed carefully and stop if the check is unclear.

Urgency

High

Quick answer

P1-00 means “Open-phase power supply imbalance” on the scoped Altherma 4 H F family. Daikin records this trigger: Malfunction in transmission system inside outdoor unit (between Control and Inverter PCB, between Control and ACS PCB). Effect: Unit will continue operation. The table marks the reset as automatic.

Safety first

Stop and check this first

  • Stop and isolate the installation for smoke, burning smell, sparks, unusual heat, water near electrical parts, suspected refrigerant release or repeated protective trips. Do not open the R290 refrigerant circuit or live electrical compartments.

Safe checks you can perform

  • Preserve the diagnostic state
  • Let the automatic reset logic decide
  • Record which connected function is unavailable

Leave these tasks to a qualified professional

  • Do not attempt this professional task: Measured handoff for P1-00

What a technician must be able to justify

Technician visit

These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.

These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.

  1. Measured handoff for P1-00

    What they doGive the technician P1-00, both model numbers, the source trigger “Malfunction in transmission system inside outdoor unit (between Control and Inverter PCB, between Control and ACS PCB)”, the effect “Unit will continue operation”, reset result and recurrence conditions. They should follow Daikin's communication and connected component branch and compare live measurements with the service values before replacing parts.

Before accepting a part or repair

Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.

Follow these steps

Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.

  1. Preserve the diagnostic state

    No special tools

    Photograph P1-00 and the complete display. Record both unit model numbers, operating mode, requested temperatures, weather, system pressure shown to the user and the moment the code appeared.

    Stop and isolate the installation for smoke, burning smell, sparks, unusual heat, water near electrical parts, suspected refrigerant release or repeated protective trips. Do not open the R290 refrigerant circuit or live electrical compartments.

  2. Let the automatic reset logic decide

    No special tools

    Daikin marks this code as automatic reset. Do not cycle breakers or force repeated acknowledgements. Record whether the controller clears it and the exact operating state in which it returns.

    Stop and isolate the installation for smoke, burning smell, sparks, unusual heat, water near electrical parts, suspected refrigerant release or repeated protective trips. Do not open the R290 refrigerant circuit or live electrical compartments.

  3. Record which connected function is unavailable

    No special tools

    Record which zone, pump, controller or outdoor function stopped and whether the problem followed a power event. Do not reseat internal plugs or change addresses, termination or field wiring.

    Stop and isolate the installation for smoke, burning smell, sparks, unusual heat, water near electrical parts, suspected refrigerant release or repeated protective trips. Do not open the R290 refrigerant circuit or live electrical compartments.

What it means

In guide 4P773391-1C (2026.02), Daikin assigns P1-00 to “Open-phase power supply imbalance”. The documented trigger is “Malfunction in transmission system inside outdoor unit (between Control and Inverter PCB, between Control and ACS PCB)” and the operating effect is “Unit will continue operation”. This is a precise controller decision for Daikin Altherma 4 H F — EPSK(S)04~14A + EPVX07~14S18+23A; it does not by itself prove which component failed.

Warnings and stop conditions

  • Highsource verified

    Stop and isolate the installation for smoke, burning smell, sparks, unusual heat, water near electrical parts, suspected refrigerant release or repeated protective trips. Do not open the R290 refrigerant circuit or live electrical compartments.

Symptoms and causes

Probable causes · in order

  • What the controller establishedConfirmed

    Daikin's table defines the condition as “Open-phase power supply imbalance” and gives this exact trigger: Malfunction in transmission system inside outdoor unit (between Control and Inverter PCB, between Control and ACS PCB).

  • What the unit does nextConfirmed

    Documented effect: Unit will continue operation. Reset classification: Automatic. A cleared display is not proof of repair.
