What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer brain fails to communicate correctly with the safety sensors and ignition components. It is physically caused by a microchip failure or a corrupted circuit on the main control board, preventing the boiler from managing the heating process safely. The most common reason is general electronic wear and tear or a power surge that has damaged the delicate internal wiring.

Engineer required

This is a high severity fault. Stop using the boiler and call a Gas Safe registered engineer. Do not attempt gas-related repairs yourself.
