What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer system loses the ability to talk to its electronic components. It is usually caused by a physical break in the internal wiring or a critical failure of the main printed circuit board, which prevents the boiler from performing its safety checks.

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.
