Daikin aircon U0 error code
Use this Daikin U0 error code guide to confirm the source table meaning, capture the reporting equipment and model, and match the service manual before diagnosis. Match the model first; same-looking codes can point to different rows.
What does Daikin U0 mean?
Daikin U0 is listed as refrigerant shortage, shortage of refrigerant, and refrigerant shortage warning in mixed model-family source rows, including VRV X RXQ-A(N)R cooling only, VRV 5-S RXYSA R32, VRV 5 Heat Recovery REMA / REYA R32, VRV 5 Heat Pump RYMA / RXYA R32, and Sky Air FNA R32 - test-run diagnostic. The loaded row is source-backed by official diagnostic material. Do not collapse this code across model families; use the model, series, or system type to choose the right row. Confirm the exact model, series, or signal row before accepting a parts quote.
Choose the matching source row
The same visible code has more than one source-backed meaning. Match the model family, system type, or reporting unit before approving parts.
| Code | What it means | What to check first |
|---|---|---|
| EZi | Refrigerant shortage | Match this row to the installed model or reporting unit, then use the source-specific checks below. |
| General RA self-diagnosis guide | Shortage of refrigerant | Match this row to the installed model or reporting unit, then use the source-specific checks below. |
| VRV X RXQ-A(N)R cooling only | Refrigerant shortage warning | Match this row to the installed model or reporting unit, then use the source-specific checks below. |
| VRV 5-S R32 - U0 / VRV 5 Heat Recovery R32 - U0 / VRV 5 Heat Pump R32 - U0 | Abnormal low-pressure drop or faulty expansion valve | Record the displayed code, unit type, and serial number for qualified diagnosis. |
| Sky Air FNA R32 - U0 (test-run diagnostic) | A refrigerant stop valve is closed | Confirm the indoor model is FNA25~60A2VEB(9), record the reporting controller, and follow the matching Daikin service procedure. |
What to do now
Use these steps to record evidence and match the installed model to its service manual before diagnosis or a repair quote.
Record U0 and match the service manual
Record U0 and stop there; the source table gives no customer reset procedure. Arrange diagnosis with the matching service manual.
No manufacturer reset steps listed for U0
Capture the complete U0 error code and model stickers first. The source table lists the meaning but no customer reset procedure; do not treat a generic power-cycle as manufacturer guidance.

Source-specific guidance
These diagnostic-reference notes help match the code to the exact model. Electrical, refrigerant, wiring, resistance, and component checks are technician work, not DIY steps.
| Source detail | What it says |
|---|---|
| Singapore / model note | This row is taken from the selected Daikin operation manual's remote-controller fault diagnosis table. |
| Singapore / model note | Official Daikin SM-TS3 self-diagnosis row. Manual causes: Refrigerant shortage or clogged piping; Defective thermistor; Defective low pressure sensor. |
| Singapore / model note | Official Daikin RXQ6-48A(N)R cooling-only service-manual row. Confirm the installed model and matching regional manual before diagnosis; this source is not claimed as universal across every Daikin VRV generation. |
What to check before repair
The source table establishes the code meaning, not a repair procedure. Capture evidence first; model-specific tests belong to the matching service manual.
| You can check | Technician should confirm |
|---|---|
| Photograph the complete U0 error code before taking any action. | Confirm U0 exactly and record which controller, gateway, or unit reported it. |
| Capture the Daikin indoor and outdoor model stickers and identify which controller or unit reported it. | Match the indoor and outdoor model stickers, installed family, and reporting equipment to the source scope. |
| The source table provides no customer reset procedure. Preserve the evidence and use the matching service manual for any system action. | Follow the matching service-manual procedure and keep measured test evidence before naming a failed part. |
Source-bounded repair decision
Daikin U0 confirms the source-table fault label, not a failed part or repair procedure. Match the installed model to its service manual and require measured diagnostic evidence before approving parts, settings, or refrigerant work.
Whether the reporting controller or unit and exact installed model are confirmed.
What the matching service-manual procedure and measured tests show.
Whether the proposed repair names the evidence for the failed part or condition.
