Technical description: eBUS fault – voltage too low
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the internal communication line, which allows the display and controls to talk to the main brain of the boiler, loses electrical power. The most common reason is a short circuit in the wiring or a failing printed circuit board that is no longer able to distribute the correct voltage. It can also be triggered if an external smart thermostat or controller draws too much power from the system.
