Possible Causes and Solutions
-

-

The Global Return Temperature NTC is defective.

-

The water circulation through the aluminium section involved is insufficient

ERROR CODES RELATED TO LOCAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE SENSORS

Note. 

In the case of more than one NTC failure at the same time, the most important one prevails.

E.g. "E" failures prevail on "L" failures; if "L" codes are equivalent, the code with the lowest first digit prevails; in the case that
the first digits are equivalent, the code with the highest second digit prevails.
