Wow, look at all the thermistors! I'll bet there is another one checking the outside air input temperature too.
Seems like the Fujitsu controller is a more complex system than the old Sanyo..

And two pressure switches at 4-way valve. I wonder why they used two?
Maybe one for detecting over-pressure, and the other was to detect
the pressure in one of the operating modes.
Or perhaps, just a high and low limit pair.?.

When my Sanyo slowly leaked down, I can't remember clearly, but I don't think it shut down at low pressure. Maybe at the end.

I do recall the system the first day of the failure, it was running like normal, but no heat..
