E17
Bosch
Internal Sensor Calibration Fault
Thermostat displays E17 and indicates an internal sensor calibration error; temperature readings may be offset.

Possible Causes
Corrupted calibration data in memory, Extreme temperature exposure outside design range, Manufacturing tolerance drift of NTC sensor, Firmware bug in calibration routine
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No high‑voltage work is required.
- Compare with reference: Place a reliable digital thermometer near the thermostat and compare readings after 30 minutes.
- Apply offset (if available): In the thermostat settings, use the temperature calibration/offset feature to correct minor differences (e.g., ±1–2 °C).
- Factory reset: Perform a factory reset to reload default calibration data, then recheck readings.
- Relocate if exposed: If the thermostat is in a draft, direct sun, or near a heat source, relocate it to a more representative location.
- Replace if large error remains: If readings are off by more than the offset range and E17 persists, the internal sensor or calibration is defective; replace the thermostat.
