What causes this fault?
This status occurs because the 'Service' button was physically pressed to put the boiler into its maximum power testing mode. It is almost always caused by an engineer or homeowner accidentally leaving the manual override active during maintenance or inspection. The boiler is not broken; it is simply waiting for a command to return to its standard daily settings.
DIY fix possible
