Fault codes

CodeMeaningCauseRemedy
1Green RUN lamp lights following engine startup.Indicates all engine systems are normal.No corrective action required.
10Incorrect main fuel valve adjustment.Refer to Gaseous Fuel Adjustment (Type A or B) in Section 6.
10LO FUEL LAMP lights. Engine shuts down and LO OIL PRES lamp lights.Indicates engine has run out of fuel.Check fuel level and replenish as required.
101IDLE MODE — Engine continues to operate at reduced RPM.Indicates that the engine is operating in idle mode. When the set is operating in the RUN mode, grounding the engine idle input causes generator build-up to be inhibited and the engine to be governed at 800 RPM. When ground is removed from this input, the set returns to normal speed and voltage. When the engine idle function is enabled, the control automatically sets lower oil pressure warning and shutdown trip points to reflect the lower operating speed. When the engine idle function is removed and the set reverts to normal operating speed, the control automatically resets oil pressure warning and shutdown trip points to the normal settings.
101IDLE MODE — WARNING; Engine continues to operate at reduced RPM.Indicates that the engine is operating in idle mode. When the set is operating in the RUN mode, grounding the engine idle input causes generator build-up to be inhibited and the engine to be governed at 800 RPM.When ground is removed from this input, the set returns to normal speed and voltage. When the engine idle function is enabled, the control automatically sets lower oil pressure warning and shutdown trip points to reflect the lower operating speed. When the engine idle function is removed and the set reverts to normal operating speed, the control automatically resets oil pressure warning and shutdown trip points to the normal settings.
102EMERGENCY STOP — Engine shuts down and will not crank.Indicates local or remote Emergency Stop.To reset the local Emergency Stop button: Pull the button out or turn the switch clockwise (button with arrow) and allow it to pop out; Move the Run/Off/Auto switch to Off; Press the Reset switch; Select Run or Auto, as required.
102EMERGENCY STOP — SHUTDOWN; Engine shuts down and will not crank.Indicates local or remote Emergency Stop.To reset the local Emergency Stop button: Pull the button out or turn the switch clockwise (button with arrow) and allow it to pop out; Move the Run/Off/Auto switch to Off; Press the Reset switch; Select Run or Auto, as required.
11Incorrect secondary regulator adjustment.Refer to Initial Secondary Regulator Adjustment in Section 6.
11LO ENG TEMP lamp lights. Set is in standby mode but is not operating. (Lamp lights when engine coolant temperature is 70° F (21° C) or lower. Since the lamp goes out after the engine warms up, there should be no cause for alarm even during initial generator set operation.)Indicates engine coolant heater is not operating, not circulating coolant or ambient temperature too cold for heater to keep up with demand.Check for the following conditions: a. Coolant heater not connected to power supply. Check for blown fuse or disconnected heater cord and correct as required. b. Check for low coolant level and replenish if required. Look for possible coolant leakage points and repair as required. c. Contact an authorized service center if none of the above.
111Internal ECM error
1117ECM POWER LOST — Lamp: Warning. Indicates that “Keyswitch” to the ECM was NOT removed for 30 seconds before removing battery power to the ECM (removing connectors or battery cable).To reset, place the O/Manual/Auto switch in the O position and press E-Stop and wait 30 seconds. Remove E-Stop and press the Fault Reset button.

1123Shutdown After Battle ShortMoving the customer installed Battle Short switch to OFF with an active but overridden shutdown fault or a shutdown fault that was overridden at any time.
1123Shutdown After Battle Short — ShutdownMoving the customer installed Battle Short switch to OFF with an active but overridden shutdown fault or a shutdown fault that was overridden at any time
1123Shutdown After Battle Short — displayed after the Battle Short feature is disabled following an overridden shutdown fault that occurred while in Battle Short mode
1124DELAYED SHUTDOWN — Lamp: Warning. A shutdown fault became active while the Delayed Shutdown feature was enabled. The shutdown will be delayed by the delayed shutdown time entered.Review Fault History and perform corrective action.

12The FAULT 1 or FAULT 2 fault lamp lights. Engine shuts down immediately, engine runs for several seconds and then shuts down, or engine continues to run.The standard undesignated fault functions are programmed to shut down the set when a fault is sensed. Fault 1 is time delayed while Fault 2 is immediate. The nature of the fault is an optional selection that is determined when the set installation is designed. The undesignated fault functions may also be programmed for non-shutdown or non-time delay.
121No engine speed signal
121Speed Signal Lost
121Speed Signal Lost (Loss of Speed Sense) — Battle Short is suspended and a shutdown occurs immediately if this critical shutdown fault occurs
121Speed Signal Lost — Battle Short is suspended and a shutdown occurs immediately.
