Check for Error Codes on Your Trane Remote

Once your Trane thermostat is connected to your Trane Home account, you can easily check for any fault or error codes:

Inspect the thermostat display: Look for any numeric or alphanumeric error codes displayed on the screen of your Trane thermostat.
Access the Trane Home app: Open the Trane Home app on your smartphone or tablet and navigate to the “Thermostat” section. Any detected error codes will be displayed here.

Troubleshoot and Resolve the Issue

If you encounter a numeric error code (e.g., Error ###.##), it’s recommended to contact your local HVAC dealer for professional assistance. They can provide expert guidance and perform the necessary repairs or maintenance to resolve the issue.

To further assist your HVAC dealer, consider the following steps:

Opt into Trane® Diagnostics: This feature allows your dealer to access real-time information about your HVAC system, enabling them to diagnose and address the problem more efficiently.
Grant dealer remote access: If necessary, you can grant your HVAC dealer limited remote access to your Trane thermostat. This allows them to view, edit, and adjust your system’s settings without the need for an in-person visit, saving you time and effort.
