What causes this fault?
This is not actually a fault, but the boiler displaying that the internal water pressure is at a healthy level. As the water in your radiators heats up, it expands, causing the pressure reading to naturally rise toward the upper end of this range. It indicates that the system is functioning correctly and has the right amount of water to circulate heat around your home.
