Indoor/outdoor unit communication error (Outdoor unit receiving)

What does E8 mean?

This communication error indicates the outdoor controller circuit board has failed to receive any normal signals for 10 minutes. It commonly results from contact failures in the indoor/outdoor unit connecting wire or defective communication circuits on either the outdoor controller board or the indoor controller board. This disrupts essential data exchange, leading to a complete breakdown of unit coordination.
