Kaisai P1 fault code

What it means

The outdoor unit has seen a supply outside its window. Confirm a stable, in-range mains supply at the outdoor terminals before condemning the board.

Safety: Safe isolation, then TREAT THE DC LINK AS LIVE. The electrolytic capacitors hold a lethal charge after the supply is off. Discharge through a suitable resistor across the + and − terminals and confirm with a meter on DC before touching the board. Never short the terminals with a screwdriver.
