Common problems

Low Battery Voltage — Battery voltage is low 441
Cause: Damaged battery cable connections
Fix: Inspect the battery cable connections for loose connections and/or corrosion, and repair as necessary
Excitation Fault (Loss of AC Sense) — The control has lost voltage sensing or has lost zero cross sensing 2335
Cause: Incorrect configuration
Fix: Make sure that values for the Low of AC Voltage Threshold (85%) and Low of AC Voltage Time Delay (10 seconds) are correct in calibration
Engine Oil Pressure Low (Shutdown) — Engine oil pressure is below the low oil pressure shutdown threshold (35 psig) 415
Cause: Lubricating oil level is low
Fix: Check the oil level. Add or drain oil, if necessary
Engine Is Difficult to Start or Does Not Start
Cause: Battery voltage is low, interrupted, or open
Fix: Check the battery connections, unswitched battery supply circuit, and fuses
Low Coolant Level (Warning or Shutdown) — This fault is used when an optional coolant level sensor is installed. The nature of the fault is an optional customer selection 1317
Cause: Low coolant
Fix: Stop the engine and allow the engine to cool down; Visually inspect and verify that the engine coolant is at the appropriate level; If the coolant level is too low, add coolant per specifications
Engine Noise Is Excessive
Cause: Lubrication issue(s)
Fix: Check the oil level and fill the system to the specified level if lubricating oil level is below specification; check the oil pressure if lubricating oil pressure is below specification; analyze the oil if lubricating oil is thin or diluted
Engine Experiences Low Power, Poor Acceleration, or Poor Response
Cause: Excessive load
Fix: Ensure that the load on the generator set does not exceed the generator set kW rating; revisit the generator set sizing process to ensure that the generator set is correctly sized for the application, especially if new loads have been introduced into the system
Unstable Voltage (With Load)
Cause: Engine governing unstable
Fix: Refer to the engine service manual (if applicable) or E-Controls service manual
Poor Voltage Regulation (With Load)
Cause: Unbalanced load
Fix: Check voltage and load current on all phases; if unbalanced, redistribute the load more evenly across the phases
Poor Engine Transient Response
Cause: Excessive loads
Fix: Make sure that the load on the generator set does not exceed the generator set KW rating; re-visit the generator set sizing process to make sure that the generator set is correctly sized for the application, especially if new loads have been introduced into the system
Low Voltage (With Load)
Cause: Under frequency roll-off protection activated
Fix: Under frequency roll-off protection is activated, indicating excessive load; check that under frequency roll-off set point and slope are correct; load on generator is in excess of rated, ensure that the load on the generator set does not exceed the generator kW rating; revisit the generator set sizing process to ensure that the generator set is correctly sized for the application, especially if new loads have been introduced into the system
Low Fuel (Warning or Shutdown) — This fault is used when an optional low fuel level switch is installed. The nature of the fault is an optional customer selection 1318
Cause: Low fuel level
Fix: Add the manufacturer's prescribed fuel
Engine Will Not Reach Rated Speed (RPM)
Cause: Excessive loads
Fix: Ensure that the load on the generator set does not exceed the generator set KW rating; re-visit the generator set sizing process to ensure that the generator set is correctly sized for the application, especially if new loads have been introduced into the system
Engine Shuts Off Unexpectedly or Dies During Deceleration
Cause: Emergency Stop/Remote Emergency Stop energized
Fix: Verify that either the Emergency Stop or the Remote Emergency Stop circuit is not energized
Engine Runs Rough or Misfires
Cause: Air intake or exhaust issues
Fix: Check the air intake system for restriction, clean or replace the air filter and inlet piping as necessary; check the exhaust system for restrictions
