What causes this fault?

This occurs when the boiler is performing a routine electronic check of its internal components immediately after being powered on. It is a programmed safety sequence designed to ensure all sensors and controls are responding correctly before the burner ignites. Most often, the code will clear itself within seconds once the software confirms the system is safe to operate.

This code may be seen more frequently following a power cut, which are more common during stormy winter weather.
