Possible Causes

Loose bus cable between Hoval furnace and controller, Incorrect bus wiring polarity, Faulty controller module, Electrical interference on bus line

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before working on control wiring.

  • Check bus connections: Locate the communication terminals (e.g., CAN, RS485) on the Hoval controller and furnace. Ensure all wires are firmly clamped.
  • Verify polarity: Confirm that the + and – (or A/B) wires are not reversed between devices.
  • Inspect cable: Look for damage, tight bends, or routing alongside high-voltage cables. Re-route if necessary to reduce interference.
  • Power cycle: Restore power and perform a controlled restart of the controller and furnace. If the error persists, a controller module may be defective.
