IGNITION CONTROL BOARD: ERROR CODES
The White Rodgers ignition control board will display a flashing error code with an LED 
light located on the upper left corner of the Ignition Control Board (Figure 18) when there is 
a problem. There is a distinctive pause between a series of on/ off flashes (1 to 8 flashes) 
when there is a problem. The following information describes the meaning of these error 
“flash” codes and what should be checked and/or repaired.  The 5 flash error code is not 
used with this application.
NOTE: The Ignition Control Board varies the voltage to the Igniter to decrease wear.  Lower 
voltage results in a longer life for the Igniter.  For this reason, voltage to the Igniter may 
vary from 80 VAC to 120 VAC.
1 FLASH
System has locked out after 3 trials for ignition.  
1   Check voltage (80-120 VAC) to igniter. 
2   Check flame sense rod alignment. 
3   Check igniter and flame sense rod wiring. 
4   Check flame sense rod for corrosion; clean with steel wool. 
5   Check igniter resistance.  It should be 11 - 20 ohms. 
6   Check ceramic insulator on igniter/flame sensor assembly for cracks.  Replace if 
damaged. 
7   Check manifold gas pressure. 
8   Check all molex plug connections; on integrated control, ignition control board, and 
between the various components. Check the pin-to-pin contact between plugs; gen tly 
wiggle suspected plug connections during operation.
2 FLASHES
Blower Prover Switch circuit was closed during self-diagnostic check at the 
beginning of the heat cycle.
  Contacts should have opened at the end of last heat 
cycle. Blower (Draft Inducer) will not start; call for heat “Status” LED will be illuminated on 
integrated control.  
1   Test continuity of blower prover switch; it should be open in “normal state” (blower not 
running - wires removed) 
2   Replace blower prover switch if continuity is present between terminals in normal state.
3   Check blower prover switch wiring, making sure that there are no jumpers on blower 
prover switch.
