BoilerFaultCodesYour boiler's internal communication system has detected an issue with a plug-in connection module, meaning the main control board cannot talk to other system components properly.
This fault should be looked at by a Gas Safe engineer within the next week or two. It may get worse if left.
Technical description: Control mode - Incorrect LON communication module
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer fails to recognize or communicate with the plug-in communication module. The most common reason is that the module has either worked itself loose, been installed incorrectly, or has suffered an electrical failure that prevents it from sending data to the main control board.
