FA-00OU: Abnormal high pressure, actuation of HPS

Name in the manufacturer's documentation (service manual): OU: Abnormal high pressure, actuation of HPS[1]

In plain words (editorial)

Abnormally high pressure – the high pressure switch tripped. The manual names a dirty outdoor heat exchanger, too little air flow because the required space around the outdoor unit is not met, an outdoor temperature outside the operation range, refrigerant circuit problems or faulty components.

When to call a service technician: Keep the outdoor unit clean and unobstructed; if the code repeats, contact your installer.
