What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal control board fails to transmit the current time and date across the communication network to other system components. It is almost always caused by a software configuration error or a conflict in the settings between the boiler and an external control module. Because it is a data sync issue rather than a mechanical failure, it rarely requires physical parts to be replaced.

DIY fix possible
