Monitor it

This is a minor fault. Keep an eye on it and mention it at your next annual boiler service. Reset the boiler and see if it clears.

What causes this fault?

This code appears when the boiler's internal flow sensor detects that water is moving through the hot water pipes. It triggers the burner to ignite so that it can provide an immediate supply of heat to your taps or shower. This is a normal operational message rather than a mechanical failure.

DIY fix possible
