  • Undedicated fault. May be factory programmed as a shutdown or non-shutdown, and as a timed or non-timed fault. (Normally set for timed shutdown). FAULT 1 (red)
  • Starter has been locked out because of excessive cranking time
    Cause: OVERCRANK (red) indicates the starter has been locked out because of excessive cranking time.
  • Same features as Fault 1 (Normally set for non-timed shutdown). FAULT 2 (red)
  • Run lamp is not on when generator set is operating.
    Fix: Indicates that a starter disconnect function is not working. Contact an Onan Distributor.
  • Run lamp is not on when generator set is operating
    Fix: Indicates that a starter disconnect function is not working. Contact an Onan Distributor.
  • Overspeed shutdown.
    Fix: Contact an Onan Distributor.
  • Overspeed shutdown
    Fix: Contact an Onan Distributor
  • Overcrank fault lamp lights and engine stops cranking after about 75 seconds. Overcrank
    Fix: Check for empty fuel tank, empty fuel filters, system leaks, or plugged fuel filters and fuel supply lines. Correct as required.
  • Low oil pressure shutdown; or pre low oil pressure shutdown if so programmed.
    Fix: Check oil level and replenish if necessary. Contact an Onan Distributor if oil level is correct.
  • Low fuel fault circuit is energized yellow lamp
    Fix: Check fuel tank and replenish fuel as needed. If fuel in tank is adequate/full, contact an Onan Distributor.
