Troubleshooting from the service manual

  1. Code 87-13 VFD Initialization Fault / Code 87-53 VFD System Lockout - Initialization

    The VFD communicates identification information to PCM when initializing to run. This information is used to identify the equipment and reference correct operating tables. When unrecognized information is received the PCM will set fault 87-13 and reset the VFD to restart the initialization process. After 3 instances of fault 87-13 within 4 hour period 87-53 malfunction is set and system is locked out for 4 hours. The most likely cause of this fault is an incorrect model plug. Check for correct model plug in model plug table.
