Technical description
Blocking during boiler chip card (BBC) update
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's main control board loses its connection with the small plug-in memory chip that contains the unit's specific operating instructions. It is usually triggered by a physical hardware failure on the chip itself or a data corruption error that happens while the system is trying to update its internal software.
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.
