What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's central computer loses its physical connection to the internal wiring system that carries data commands. It is usually caused by a loose connection, a broken wire, or a blown fuse on the circuit board that prevents signals from reaching the vital components. Without this communication link, the boiler cannot receive instructions to fire up, even if the rest of the hardware is functioning correctly.

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.
