A.102 on a Viessmann One Base: Suction gas temperature sensor signal not plausible
Short answer
On a Viessmann heat pump, A.102 means: Suction gas temperature sensor signal not plausible. The heat pump keeps running with some functions stopped. An engineer is needed to fix the cause.

What it means
The manual says: Suction gas temperature sensor signal not plausible.
Part involved: Suction gas temperature sensor signal not plausible.
When it shows: System characteristics: Refrigerant circuit operation impaired.
Likely causes:
- Values for suction gas temperature in relation to suction gas pressure not plausible.
Is it safe?
| Does the heat pump stop? | Partly |
|---|---|
| Severity | Warning |
| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The heat pump keeps running with some functions stopped.
Resetting itself: Not stated per code in Viessmann document 6199893 GB 01/2026 (VSA00009).
Manual reset: User may acknowledge via HMI after noting the code (6249162 p.57); the message returns if the cause persists.
What you can check
- On the HMI, tap the message and "?" to read the system characteristics and Viessmann's user tips; note the code (e.g. F.xxx) and text for your contractor (operating instructions 6249162 p.57).
- Acknowledge the message once via the HMI; do not acknowledge fault messages several times in quick succession (6249162 p.58) - notify your contractor.
- Check the heat pump breaker/isolator in the consumer unit is ON (do not repeatedly reset a breaker or RCD that keeps tripping).
What the engineer will check
- Check low pressure sensor: With the system running, measure the voltage U from 0 to 5 V at connection X14.5/X14.6 of the VCMU refrigerant circuit ….
- Check the suction gas temperature sensor: Check resistor R for NTC 10 kΩ on the disconnected plug. Replace sensor if required. Connection: X14.7/X14.8 on the ….
Who to ask for: Viessmann-trained heat pump engineer with F-gas certification and R290 (A3 flammable refrigerant) competence.
Certification: F-gas certificate (UK F-gas Regulations; EU 2015/2067 Cat. I cited by Viessmann) plus A3/R290 competence per EN 378-4 or IEC 60335-2-40 Annex HH (6202263 p.2).
