Plain-English guidance below. Severity, DIY steps, costs and parts are our interpretation to help you act, not text from the manual.

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal components detect that the unit is either getting too hot or that the fan isn't safely clearing waste gases. The most common reasons are a blockage in the flue, a failing circulation pump, or a simple mechanical failure of the safety sensors themselves.

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.
