Trane thermostat error codes- list of Trane thermostat fault codes and their explanation.
Trane thermostat error code 26
Meaning: The unit might be overheating (the furnace has exceeded set temperature limit).
Proposed fixes: Because this error occurs due to issues such as a clogged filter, blocked fan, blocked air duct, and dirty air conditioner coil, check these components and clean/clear obstacles as necessary.
Trane thermostat error code 79
Meaning: Hard lockout (low pressure switch is open).
Suggested repair: In most cases, the issue can only be resolved by resetting the unit so switch off power to both inside and outside units to have the system reset. If the problem persists, check if the low pressure switch is faulty- it causes most of the stubborn 79 error codes.
Trane thermostat error code 89
Meaning: the stat can’t “find” the cooling/heating equipment.
Action: Check for a tripped breaker/blown fuse (to your outdoor unit)- these two are common culprits for error 89. But it can be a wiring problem somewhere in the system so check the wiring too.
Trane thermostat error code 91
Meaning: This fault code may be pointing to an issue of power- low voltage line (from the furnace) may be lacking power.
What to do: The only solution here is to inspect the entire furnace to try and identify what could be causing the fault (Call a Pro if this is beyond you).
Trane thermostat error code 126

What to do: We suggest that you switch off both the furnace and your AC (and wait a couple of minutes). You then turn the units back on and see if the error clears.

Trane Comfortlink ii Thermostat error codes
Trane Comfortlink II error code 79
Meaning: As mentioned earlier, Error Code 79 simply says “low pressure switch open”. Causes can be iced evaporator coil, clogged air filter, low refrigerant, or a defective low pressure switch.
Potential workaround: Reset the system and check if the error clears. If not, check the above-mentioned parts (evaporator coil, air filter, low pressure switch). And oh, check the refrigerant.
Trane Touch-screen Thermostat Error Codes
Error code E0
Meaning: Thermistor error.
Action: Check sensor terminals S1 & S2 for tight connection. If wires are properly connected, consider replacing the sensor. Otherwise, the thermostat should be serviced or replaced.
Error code E1 /or “–” flashes in humidity display
Meaning: Humidity reading outside of measurable range. It can also indicate a fault with humidity sensor.
Action: Try to power cycle- the internal humidity sensor may recover. And if you suspect that the issue could be caused by an external humidity sensor problem, check the Hs & Hp terminals (Don’t forget to check your remote humidity sensor for damage/malfunction). Replace if necessary.
Error code E4
Meaning: Input voltage is out of range. Range must be between 18 Vac – 32 Vac RMS.
Action: Check the thermostat’s input voltage.
