EEJ Inducer relay error

What the control is telling you

The control detected a fault in its inducer relay circuit. The furnace will not operate.

Applies to: Goodman/Amana/GMC gas furnaces, 9-speed ECM, 7-segment control. Two-stage 96%: AC9C96, AM9C96, GC9C96, GM9C96. Single stage 80%: VC9S80, VM9S80, AC9S80, AM9S80, GC9S80, GM9S80. Single stage 92/96%: VC9S96, VM9S96, AC9S96, AM9S96, AM9S92, GC9S96, GM9S96, GM9S92

Likely causes

• Failed inducer relay on the integrated control board

Test and repair steps

1. Cycle power and retry to confirm the code returns.
2. Check for 115 VAC from the control to the inducer during a heat call; with good wiring and no output, replace the integrated control board.
3. If the inducer gets voltage but does not run, test the inducer motor windings (continuity between leads, none to ground) instead.
