What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer experiences a brief communication error or a temporary glitch in its stored settings. It is often caused by a minor power fluctuation or a digital 'hiccup' where the board fails to read its own configuration data for a split second. The boiler usually detects this inconsistency and performs an automatic reboot to clear the error.

DIY fix possible
