Homeowner? What Daikin code EE2 means for you

Check, then call Your furnace is reporting: Pressure switch did not close (inducer runs, no ignition). This is often caused by something simple. Try the safe checks below; if the code returns, book a service call before it turns into a no-heat or no-hot-water emergency.

Safe things you can check yourself

Check the thermostat: right mode (Heat or Cool), set a few degrees past room temperature, and fresh batteries if it uses them.
Make sure the unit has power: its on/off switch (often looks like a light switch near the unit) is ON and the breaker in the electrical panel is not tripped.
Make sure the furnace front door or panel is closed properly; many furnaces will not run with the door switch open.
Look at the air filter. If it is grey and clogged, replace it; a blocked filter causes many shutdowns.
Outside, make sure the intake and exhaust pipes or vent cap are not blocked by snow, ice, leaves or a nest.
Check that the gas valve next to the furnace is open (handle in line with the pipe). Do not force it.
Try one reset: turn the power off for 30 seconds, then back on. If the code comes back, stop resetting and call a technician.

The inducer is running but the (low-stage) pressure switch circuit never closes, so the furnace will not light. Flowcharts call this code E2.
