The flame sensor — also called a flame rod — uses ionic rectification to detect the presence of a burner flame during each heating cycle. When the sensor rod becomes coated with oxidation or carbon buildup, its microamp signal drops below the control board's threshold, causing the furnace to light briefly and then shut down after just 5–8 seconds. Left unaddressed, this triggers a hard lockout and a no-heat call. Replacing the sensor with the correct OEM part restores reliable flame detection and prevents nuisance shutdowns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e OEM Part # 48GS400192 | 90° angle mounting bracket | Flame rod with insulated lead wire | Factory-matched microamp output | Dimensions approx. 4.9\" L × 1.75\" H × 1.6\" W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM vs Generic:\u003c\/strong\u003e OEM sensors are built to Carrier's exact rod alloy and insulation spec, ensuring consistent microamp output across temperature cycles.
