Your boiler is in normal standby mode and is simply waiting for you to turn on the heating or hot water.
This is a minor fault. Keep an eye on it and mention it at your next annual boiler service. Reset the boiler and see if it clears.

It means the internal systems have passed all safety checks and the unit is simply resting until you turn on a hot tap or the thermostat clicks on. There is no physical fault or component failure occurring when you see this light sequence.
