Technical description: Boiler Chip Card (BCC) fault

What causes the Keston C2 fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's main control board loses its connection with the small plug-in memory chip that tells the unit exactly how to operate. The most common reasons are a loose connection due to vibration, a malfunction within the chip itself, or a hardware failure on the main circuit board that prevents it from reading the chip's data.

Typical repair cost £180-350 (including labour)
