What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's main control board loses the electronic signal from the sensor located on the outside of your home. The most common reasons are physical damage to the external sensor unit or the wiring connecting it to the boiler becoming loose, corroded, or damaged by the elements.

This fault is more common following periods of heavy rain or extreme frost, which can cause moisture to enter the sensor housing or cause the external wiring to perish.
