What causes this fault?

This code appears when the boiler automatically performs a internal calibration test to ensure it can sustain a stable flame at the lowest possible gas level. It is a normal part of the boiler's software routine and happens automatically after the burner ignites to verify efficiency and safety. You do not need to take any action as the boiler is simply checking its own homework before continuing to heat your home.

DIY fix possible

Wait for the test to complete automatically (usually takes 15 minutes)Press the 'Back' or 'Reset' button if the boiler appears stuck after 20 minutesTurn the power off and back on at the fused spur switch to restart the system
