Plain-English guidance below. Severity, DIY steps, costs and parts are our interpretation to help you act, not text from the manual.

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's main control board loses the electronic signal from the external timer or room thermostat, causing a break in communication. It can also happen if the boiler becomes stuck in an internal calibration mode after a power cut or a system reset. Essentially, the 'brain' of the boiler is waiting for a command to start that it can no longer hear.

Engineer required

This is a high severity fault. Stop using the boiler and call a Gas Safe registered engineer. Do not attempt gas-related repairs yourself.
