Goodman gas furnace code EEJ: Inducer relay error
Gas furnace, Canada and United States
The inducer motor relay on the control board has a fault, and the furnace does not run.
This needs a licensed gas technician. There is nothing safe to check yourself. Leave the covers on and book a professional.
What causes it

How to read this code on your unit
