Pressure Switch Calibration Fault
Quick Answer
Error code 43 on your Carrier Central Air Conditioners & Furnaces means: Pressure Switch Calibration Fault. This is usually fixable — see the step-by-step guide below.
Likely Causes
  1. Pressure switch operating outside its calibration range
  2. Partially blocked flue or intake pipe
  3. Inducer motor losing performance due to worn bearings
  4. Altitude-related pressure differential issues
How to Fix It
1
Measure actual pressure differential at the pressure switch with a manometer during inducer operation
2
Compare measured pressure to the switch rating stamped on the device
3
Inspect flue and intake pipes for partial obstructions
4
Check inducer motor performance by measuring amperage and comparing to rating
5
Contact a licensed HVAC technician for pressure switch calibration or replacement at high-altitude installations
Pro Tip
