Furnace Pressure Switch Open Fault

A pressure switch is designed to sense the negative pressure created by the draft inducer motor during the furnace startup and to shut down the furnace ignition if the air pressure is inadequate.

Furnace pressure switch open fault.

The switch will need to be replaced then you should make sure the vacuum. When the system calls for heat and the inducer fan begins to run check each pressure switch terminal. Connect the ohm meter to the pressure switch. Use an ohmmeter to check if the pressure switch is opening or closing properly when heat is called for.

The pressure switch on a furnace may fail or get stuck in an open position and there are few simple checks you can complete before testing the switch. First turn the power of the furnace off. The contacts in the switch are either stuck together or moisture has entered the switched and seized it in the closed position. Now use the ohmmeter to check whether the pressure switch is functioning properly.

If is in the closed position the furnace stops the sequence and goes into lockout mode until the switch is open. I replaced the pressure switch but still get the fault. 6 someone has sucked on the pressure switch with their mouth or forgot to unhook the pressure switch from the furnace before using a vac on the furnace. On newer furnaces on a call for heat the ifc checks the pressure switch.
