If you smell gas

- Go outside and leave the door open behind you.
- Call the FortisBC 24-hour emergency line at 1-800-663-9911 or dial 911.

Why a code is not a diagnosis
A gas-train code involves the gas valve or its electrical circuit. It does not mean there is a leak; the circuit, coils and wiring must be measured by a licensed technician.
Safe things to observe
- If you smell gas, stop, go outside and call your gas utility's emergency line or 911 before anything else.
- Note the exact code and what the appliance was doing when it appeared.
- Check whether other gas appliances in the building are working.
Do not
- Do not reset or run the appliance while the gas valve circuit is suspect.
- Do not touch the gas valve.
How professional service helps
- A technician verifies harness connections and coil resistances against the manual before replacing parts.
- Combustion and safety devices are verified with an analyser and the manufacturer's procedure after any repair.

Frequently asked questions
Does this code mean I have a gas leak?
Not by itself. If you smell gas, stop, leave the building and call your gas utility's emergency line or 911 from outside before anything else. Otherwise the code points to a fault a technician confirms on site.
Can I clear this code myself?
Clearing a code without fixing its cause usually just brings it back. Note the code, check the safe items on this page, then call a licensed technician. If your appliance manual describes a user reset for this exact code and it stays away, no call may be needed.
Boiler locked out? Call with the alert text ready.
The brand, model and this alert are passed along when you request service online, so the technician arrives prepared.
