Quick answer

P6 means the outdoor unit's main control board and inverter drive board are not communicating. It is an internal outdoor-unit fault - one safe reset is the only homeowner step, then it is technician diagnosis.

Severity: high · DIY difficulty: easy

Safety

Stop at the single power-cycle check. Both boards and the wiring between them are inside the outdoor cabinet - do not open panels, reseat connectors, or test live circuits. Technician-only.

What P6 means
