Technical description

Ignition sequence

What causes this fault?

This is actually a status code rather than a fault, occurring every time your boiler prepares to provide heating or hot water. It indicates that the system is safely working through its internal checks to spark the burner and establish a flame. If the boiler stays stuck on this code without firing up, it usually suggests a temporary delay in the ignition process.
