Possible Causes

Incorrect system type selected (heat pump vs. gas furnace), Incompatible American Standard communicating equipment mix, Missing required sensor or module, Firmware mismatch between thermostat and equipment

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power to the HVAC system before changing wiring or adding/removing modules.

  • Review installer setup: Enter the installer menu and verify that the correct system type, number of stages, and accessories (humidifier, dehumidifier, ventilation) are selected according to the installed American Standard equipment.
  • Check communicating vs. non-communicating: Ensure you are using a communicating thermostat with communicating equipment, or a conventional thermostat with non-communicating equipment. Mixing types can cause E10.
  • Verify modules: If using an American Standard zoning panel, humidifier module, or ventilation module, confirm they are properly wired and powered.
  • Update firmware: Use the American Standard app or service tools to update thermostat firmware if an update is available.

When to call a pro: Equipment mismatch and configuration issues are best resolved by an American Standard dealer who can verify model compatibility.
