Error code 438 on an NTI GF 200 furnace indicates an issue with the circulation pump, specifically an inconsistency between the pump activation signal and the flow sensor reading. Possible causes include:

- Air-lock: During the first central heating call, air may enter the pump, preventing proper operation.
- Faulty Flow Sensor or Pump: The pump may not be generating adequate flow, or the sensor may not be reading it correctly.

To resolve air-lock issues:
- Ensure the air eliminator on top of the pump housing is open.
- Flood the pump chamber to remove trapped air.
