Title: ICP C9MPV - Fan Always On - Control Board Question
Post by: wantcoffee on October 24, 2016, 09:08:22 AM
Hi There,

The blower fan on my furnace is ON all the time. 

The thermostat is in AUTO, I have disconnected all the thermostat wires both at the thermostat end and at the furnace and it is still on, so I don't think its the wiring nor the thermostat.

I can get heat when heat is called, so I don't think its a limit switch.

I am thinking I have a stuck relay?!? I have tapped all the relays on boards and nothing changes.

So I am thinking I have a faulty board? 

What I am not sure is how to diagnose which board is the faulty one since there are 2 of them the ECM motor control board (ICP 1175594) and Furnace control board (ICP 1172809)

BTW, I verified the switch on my ECM motor control board was set on OFF for the fan, but whatever setting I put it in I can't get it to turn off, I am able to reduce the speed from high to low but thats about it.

Thanks in advance!

Based on your troubleshooting, I would agree that there is a fault with the control board.  I attached a picture below.  I'm not sure if this only applies to the PSC models, but make sure there is nothing connected to the CONT terminal on the control board.  (Marked with a red arrow.)

I'm not 100% if the DC MTR terminal (Marked with a blue arrow) is supposed to be constantly powered with 115V, but you may want to check that with a multi meter.  I suspect it's always powered with 115V and the P2 plug powers the ECM fan.

My guess would be the main control fan timer board is faulty.

Thanks for the quick reply! I will check later on in the afternoon :)

By main control fan timer board  did you mean the large one or the smaller board?

The large control board - ICP 1172809.

Thanks again for your help!

Although the board layout is slightly different than your diagram nothing was plugged to the CONT terminal I went ahead and ordered the board, I am hoping it will solve the issue.
