What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler receives two different instructions at the same time from your external heating controls, such as a wall thermostat or a zone controller. It essentially creates a logic 'argument' within the system because the boiler doesn't know which setting to prioritize for your radiators. The most common reason is a wiring error or a faulty external programmer sending overlapping signals to the control board.
DIY fix possible
