What it means
The manual says: Lead break, temperature sensor, external heat/cooling generator 1.
Part involved: Lead break, temperature sensor, external heat/cooling generator 1.
When it shows: System characteristics: Unregulated operation of the external heat generator.
Likely causes:
- Lead break, boiler temperature sensor of external heat generator.
Is it safe?
| Does the heat pump stop? | Not stated |

| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The manual does not say whether the heat pump stops.
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 operating program, time program and room temperature settings on the HMI.
What the engineer will check
- Check connection TS2.1/TS2.2 on the HIO electronics module:.
- Check wires and plugs for correct seating.
- Check connections for contact corrosion.
- Check cables for mechanical damage, e.g. crushing, kinking, chafing or breakage.
- Check resistor R for NTC 10 kΩ on the disconnected plug. If R > 300 kΩ, replace the sensor.
- Replace HIO electronics module.
Who to ask for: Viessmann-trained heat pump installer/service engineer.
