Diagnostic LED
The furnace control is equipped with a diagnostic LED
used for troubleshooting the unit and the control. LED
functions are shown in table 7.

Johnson G776 Ignition Control Operation
The information in this section is protected by a copyright issued by
Johnson Controls, Inc., and is reproduced with permission.
On a call for heat from indoor thermostat, the ignition control
energizes and ignition control LED lights (steady on). The
combustion air blower is energized. After 15 second pre-
purge period, the control simultaneously opens pilot valve
and sends spark to pilot electrode.
If pilot ignites within 85 seconds, flame sensor detects pilot
flame and signals ignition control to energize the main
valve. The main valve cannot be energized until sensor
detects pilot flame. Spark continues until pilot flame is
sensed or 85 seconds has elapsed.
When pilot flame is sensed, main valve is energized and
spark turns off. The ignition control remains in run" mode un-
til indoor thermostat is satisfied or flame lost.
If pilot flame is not sensed before the end of the 85 second trial
for ignition, the control enters the 100% shutoff mode. The
spark circuit and pilot valve de-energize and the ignition con-
trol automatically begins the 60 minute retry delay period.
During the 60 minute delay the diagnostic LED continually
flashes on for one second and off for five seconds. After the
delay period, another trial for ignition sequence starts, begin-
ning with pre-purge.
If pilot flame goes out while the indoor thermostat is calling
for heat, both main and pilot valves de-energize within 0.8
seconds and remain de-energized for five seconds. After
this delay, the spark and pilot valve energize until flame is
sensed or the 85 second trial for ignition period ends. If this
flameout" cycle repeats 16 times (pilot flame is estab-
lished and then lost), the control locks out and the LED
goes off. A new trial for ignition sequence begins after the
thermostat contacts are opened for 2 seconds and then
closed.
If flame is detected when the thermostat calls for heat, it
must extinguish within 30 seconds for normal operation. If
flame is still present after 30 seconds, the control goes into
lockout and the LED goes off.
13−Pilot, Spark Electrode, Flame Sensor
(−1 and −2 models)
Figure 18 shows the arrangement of pilot, flame sensor,
spark electrode and burners. The ignition control uses di-
rect spark to ignite the pilot. The pilot ignites the burners
and the burners cross-light. The flame sensor uses flame
rectification to sense pilot ignition. The ignition control re-
quires that pilot flame must be sensed before the main gas
valve is allowed to open. Typically, a 2 to 4 second delay
occurs between the pilot ignition and the main valve open-
ing. Figure 19 shows the gap between the tip of the elec-
trodes and the burner surface. It is important that the gap
be maintained for consistent ignition of pilot flame.
