Possible Causes
Open or shorted ABCD communication wiring, incorrect polarity on ABCD terminals, incompatible thermostat, failed communicating control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power to both furnace and thermostat before changing ABCD wiring.
- Verify wiring: At both furnace and Bryant Evolution/Connex thermostat, ensure ABCD terminals match color-for-color and polarity (A to A, B to B, etc.).
- Check cable: Inspect the communication cable for staples through the jacket, kinks, or water damage.
- Reset system: After correcting wiring, power up the furnace first, then the thermostat, and allow the system to re-detect equipment.
If communication errors persist with correct wiring, the communicating control board or thermostat may need replacement.
