How it shows: Outdoor control display flashes d2

Goodman d2 flashes for a system mismatch. The outdoor and indoor units are not an acceptable combination, or the airflow trim is set to a prohibited value. Causes are a pair that is not certified, required airflow (CFM) above the indoor unit's maximum, and an indoor unit that is not an EEV type. Both steps belong to a technician or the installer: check the pair on the AHRI site and replace it with a certified combination if it is not one, and confirm the airflow trim was not set to a prohibited value. Code d2 has no filter step and no pressure-switch step.

Likely causes

  • Outdoor and indoor units not a certified combination
  • Required airflow (CFM) exceeds the indoor unit's maximum
  • Connected indoor unit is not an EEV type
