Flame Sensor
The flame sensor is responsible for flame rectification, converting AC voltage to a DC micro-amp signal through the ionized flame. Over time, silica and carbon deposits form an insulating layer on the rod, breaking the electrical path. Replacing the sensor restores the circuit continuity required by the control board to maintain the gas valve open state.

Inducer Pressure Switch
This switch monitors the negative pressure created by the inducer motor and ensures flue gases are exhausting. If the switch opens shortly after ignition—often due to fluctuating pressure from a partially clogged condensate trap or restricted venting—the control board will immediately terminate the heating cycle as a safety precaution.

Integrated Furnace Control Board
The control board contains the logic circuitry that interprets the micro-amp signal from the flame sensor. If the internal capacitors or resistors in the flame-sensing circuit drift out of tolerance, the board may fail to 'see' a healthy flame even if the sensor itself is functional, leading to a nuisance lockout.
