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 |
|---|---|
| Diagnostic note | Check TH24 resistance, connector contact, and the indoor control board if the sensor and wiring test normally. |
| Diagnostic note | Check TH4 resistance, lead-wire condition, connector contact, and the control-board monitor reading against actual temperature. |
| Singapore / model note | Official Mitsubishi Electric Singapore City Multi PDF page 4, primary fault-code table for the indoor unit. Confirm the installed City Multi equipment and the unit reporting the code before parts replacement. The table also shows preliminary code 1202 in parentheses; it is diagnostic context, not a separate public fault route. |
| Singapore / model note | Official Mitsubishi Electric Singapore City Multi PDF page 5, primary fault-code table for the outdoor unit.

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 taking any system action on 5104, take a clear display photo. | Confirm which sensor 5104 maps to on the exact model table. |
| Capture the Mitsubishi Electric City Multi indoor and outdoor model stickers so the correct family row is used. | Measure the sensor value against the service-manual resistance or voltage range. |
| The selected source row lists no customer reset procedure. Note whether one room, several rooms, or the whole system is affected. | Check connector condition, harness continuity, and PCB input before replacing boards. |

Sensor or PCB decision
Mitsubishi Electric City Multi 5104 is usually repair-first if a sensor or harness reading is confirmed. Board replacement should wait until the sensor circuit is tested.
Sensor replacement is usually targeted when resistance or voltage readings are out of range.
Harness or connector damage can look like a sensor fault until continuity is checked.
PCB replacement is a later step if the sensor and wiring test correctly.
