Symptoms & remedies

SymptomCauseRemedy
Alarms, warnings, and engine Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) faults are displayed.When an alarm occurs, the controller automatically switches to this screen and remains there until the alarm is cleared. The Stop LED also flashes.
Faulty fuel filterWith engine running and lights off, measure voltage and frequency at the GFCI receptacle. Voltage should indicate 120VAC ± 5%, and frequency should indicate 60.7 Hz ± 5%. If frequency and voltage are both low (<114VAC, <58 Hz), replace the fuel filter.
Faulty generator capacitorMeasure the capacitance of the generator capacitor. If measurement is outside rating (as indicated on the capacitor), replace the capacitor.
Faulty thermostatContact a GMASD to replace.
Generator output incorrectCheck the incoming voltage to the ballast driver by checking the available voltage on the GFCI receptacle. Incoming voltage should be 120V ± 5V.If voltage is incorrect, the generator may require service.
High coolant temperature shutdownLow coolant levelAdd coolant if needed. Allow engine to cool, then check coolant level in radiator. Restart engine and check coolant temperature. Stop engine immediately if coolant temperature is 210 °F (99 °C) or more.
Incorrect mix/frozen radiatorThaw the radiator with an external heat source and flush the coolant system with the correct coolant mixture.
Low oil pressure shutdownLow oil levelVerify oil level on dipstick. Add oil, if needed.
Mast lights off, checking inside the control boxLoose lighting connectionsInspect the connections inside the control box.
Mast lights off, checking outside the control boxLight fixture is too hotAllow light to cool 10–15 minutes before restarting.
Oil leaking from engineInspect the engine for leaks.
Oil pressure switch failureRefer to OEM engine operator’s manual to identify corrective action.
PAS engagedVerify PAS is off.
Unit cranks but does not startLow fuel levelCheck fuel level in tank. Verify fuel pump operation.
Water pump failureContact a GMASD to replace.
