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 |
|---|---|---|
| MHI Service Support Handbook RAC RUN/TIMER checklist | Error of wired remote controller wiring | Match this row to the installed model or reporting unit, then use the source-specific checks below. |
| Inverter PAC indoor-unit diagnostics / Inverter KX VRF diagnostics | Communication fault between the remote controller and indoor unit | Confirm the installed unit belongs to Inverter PAC FDT / FDTC / FDU / FDUM / FDE / FDEN / FDF indoor units before using this meaning. |
What to do now
Use these steps before customer action, a signal-wire check, or PCB quote.

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 | Record the exact RUN/TIMER blink pattern, optional wired-remote E-code, and whether the outdoor indicator is flashing before arranging diagnosis. |
| Diagnostic note | Record the exact code and unit addresses. A qualified technician should check controller and signal wiring, address settings, terminations, and the applicable control boards before replacement. |
| Singapore / model note | MHI Service Support Handbook pages 16-18 RAC indication table. This is a broad residential RAC cross-check, not a model-specific operation manual; non-residential handbook sections are excluded. Checklist cause: Broken remote control wire or defective indoor unit PCB. |
| Singapore / model note | Official current MHI commercial error-table row E1. PAC/KX family applicability and display detail are cross-checked against MHI Service Support Handbook PDF pages 30, 36. Confirm the installed model family and its own service manual before parts replacement; no Singapore-only model mapping is claimed. |
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 E1 / RUN 2x / TIMER 2x, take a clear display photo and blinking-light video if the unit shows one. | Match E1 / RUN 2x / TIMER 2x against the exact model-family source row before quoting parts. |
| Capture the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries indoor and outdoor model stickers so the correct family row is used. | Test communication terminals, cable continuity, polarity, and outdoor power. |
| The selected source row lists no customer reset procedure. Note whether one room, several rooms, or the whole system is affected. | Read indoor and outdoor PCB indicators only after the signal path is proven sound. |
Wiring or PCB decision
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries E1 / RUN 2x / TIMER 2x 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.
