What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's control system loses communication with a specific temperature sensor used to monitor water flow in larger or multi-zone systems. The most common reason is a physical failure of the sensor's internal components or a loose connection in the wiring harness that links the sensor to the main circuit board.
