The invention provides an intelligent self-checking method for an air conditioner. Firstly, under the condition that the air conditioner is electrified, a self-checking key is pressed down to enable the air conditioner to enter a self-checking mode, a buzzer sounds to confirm that the self-checking is started at the moment, each load begins to act, and according to software functional setting, the air conditioner outputs all of load information, including a display screen, a fan, a pressing machine, a fan, temperature signals and the like, in a sequence at intervals; and when the air conditioner quits the self-checking mode, all of input / output feedback information is collected, and if a fault appears, the air conditioner represents the fault in the form of the combination of a fault code and a buzzing alarm, and displays through an LED lamp and the fault code, so that a worker can rapidly find out the fault root according to the self-checking fault indication code and remove the fault to enable the air conditioner to return to the normal running state.
