What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's control system identifies a mismatch in its internal operational settings, specifically regarding the temperature drop allowed before it fires up again. It is typically caused by a minor electronic glitch within the main control board or a slight calibration error in the temperature sensors. While the boiler continues to function, it is highlighting that its internal logic for managing heat cycles is slightly out of sync.
