Daikin aircon UJ error code
Use this Daikin UJ error code guide to decide when to stop resetting, what to capture, and what to check before parts are quoted.
What does Daikin UJ mean?
Daikin UJ is listed as transmission fault with accessory device in Ceiling Cassette, Ceiling Suspended, Inverter Split rows such as General RA self-diagnosis guide, SkyAir. The loaded row is source-backed by official diagnostic material. Confirm the exact model, series, or signal row before accepting a parts quote.
Loose, corroded, crossed, or damaged indoor-outdoor signal wiring.
Terminal block, connector, or junction fault on the indoor or outdoor side.
Indoor or outdoor PCB communication circuit fault after wiring is proven sound.
What to do now
Use these steps before another reset, signal-wire check, or PCB quote.
Stop using the unit if UJ returns
If UJ returns after one reset, stop repeated restarts and get the matching source row diagnosed.
Reset UJ once
Capture the UJ display first, then power-cycle once only and note whether the same fault returns.

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 |
|---|---|
| Source repair action | Stop the system if it smells burnt, leaks, or trips power; note the exact model and code before booking diagnosis. |
| Singapore / model note | Official Daikin SM-TS3 row; use only where the relevant accessory device is installed. |
What to check before repair
Use this split to separate safe evidence capture from the tests a technician should prove before quoting parts.
| You can check | Technician should confirm |
|---|---|
| Before resetting UJ, take a clear display photo. | Match UJ against the exact model-family source row before quoting parts. |
| Capture the Daikin indoor and outdoor model stickers so the correct family row is used. | Test communication terminals, cable continuity, polarity, and outdoor power. |
| Note whether one room, several rooms, or the whole system is affected, plus whether it returns after one reset. | Read indoor and outdoor PCB indicators only after the signal path is proven sound. |
What changes the next step
These clues decide whether the first check is room-side, shared outdoor-side, refrigerant-side, source-table, or model-family confirmation.
| What you see | What it points to |
|---|---|
| Only one indoor unit shows UJ. | The affected room, indoor board path, wiring route, or local component should be checked first. |
| Several rooms or the outdoor unit show the same UJ fault. | The shared outdoor side, power path, communication trunk, or refrigerant circuit needs priority checking. |
| The fault returns immediately after one reset. | Start with the source-row diagnostic branch before approving parts. |
| The model family is different from the row you found online. | Use the model or series filter first; same-looking codes can still belong to different diagnostic tables. |
| The model belongs to Ceiling Cassette, Ceiling Suspended, Inverter Split rows such as General RA self-diagnosis guide, SkyAir. | The loaded row is source-backed by official diagnostic material. Use the matching source row before quoting parts. |
Wiring or PCB decision
Daikin UJ should start with terminal, signal-cable, and power checks. PCB replacement only makes sense after the communication path is proven sound.
A loose terminal or bad junction is a targeted repair once the path is confirmed.
Signal-wire replacement depends mostly on access through trunking, ceiling, or concealed routes.
PCB cost should be weighed against age only after wiring and power checks pass.
