Carrier 58MVC Error Code Status Code 43: Low-Heat Pressure Switch Open While Medium-Heat Pressure Switch Is Closed
TL;DR
This status code can occur as a result of the low heat pressure switch LPS not making during a call for heat. Keep in mind that whenever status code 43 occurs the variable speed furnace control shuts unit down, turns the inducer off, and gas remains off. Applies to LOW, MEDIUM, OR HIGH HEAT. If the medium heat pressure switch MPS makes and the low heat pressure switch LPS is still open the variable speed furnace control starts flashing status code 43, shuts unit down, and waits 2 minutes before restarting the heating cycle.
