What this code means
The Trane variable-speed alert table identifies EVACUATION when evacuation mode has been executed.
Safe checks
- Confirm the thermostat is on, set correctly, and calling for heating or cooling.
- Check the air filter and visible return-air path for obvious airflow restrictions.
- Look around the outdoor unit for leaves, snow, ice, or other visible obstructions without opening the cabinet.
- Take photos of the thermostat, outdoor unit, nameplate, and any visible flash pattern before scheduling service.
First step
Document the flash pattern, check thermostat, filter, and visible outdoor-unit obstruction status, and schedule service if the condition remains.
