Field pattern: 90%+ furnace pressure switch code that comes back after a new switch (condensate trap and hose first)

The switch is usually reporting correctly: water backed up in the trap, the collector box or the switch tubing is blocking the vacuum it needs to sense. The wrong turn is replacing the switch (sometimes twice) without clearing the trap and tubing; a partially clogged trap drains while the furnace is locked out, so it runs fine on the first test and fails after the tech leaves.

Reading furnace LED flash codes by brand family (Carrier, Goodman, ICP, Rheem)

The flash code narrows the fault to one circuit before you open anything. Read it with power on, identify the board family, then use the door label to confirm. Only codes that two independent sources agree on are listed here.

How to test a gas furnace draft pressure switch (electrical and draft checks only)

The pressure switch proves the inducer is pulling enough draft before ignition is allowed. Test it with a meter (24 V across it) and a manometer against the set point printed on the switch. Gas valve, gas pressure and burner work are not covered: refer those to a licensed gas technician.
