What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's main control board loses its place in its operating sequence or receives conflicting data from its sensors. The most common reason is an internal electronic failure within the circuit board or a loose connection in the wiring harness that prevents the computer from safely moving to the next stage of the ignition process.

Typical repair cost £180-280 (including labour)
