Common problems

15
  • Over Current 1471
  • Low Coolant Level 197
  • Weak Battery Code 1442
    Fix: Indicates that during cranking, the battery voltage is at or below the weak battery warning trip point for a time greater than or equal to the weak battery set time. See code 441 for corrective action.
  • Under Frequency Code 1448
    Fix: Indicates possible fuel system problem or overload condition. 1. Check for dirty or plugged air filter and replace if necessary (see Maintenance section). 2. Check operation by disconnecting load and restarting generator set. 3. Fuel system requires adjustment. Contact an authorized service center for service. 4. Fuel delivery to the set is inadequate. Contact an authorized service center for service. 5. Reset the control and restart after correcting the problem.
  • Too Long in Idle Code 2342
    Fix: Indicates the generator set has been in Idle mode too long (10 minutes maximum).
  • Fail To Crank Code 1438
    Fix: Indicates possible fault with control, speed sensing or starting system. See code 441 for corrective action.
  • Emergency Stop Code 1433
    Fix: Indicates local Emergency Stop. To reset the local/remote Emergency Stop button: 1. Pull the button out. 2. Move the O/Manual/Auto switch to O. 3. Press the front panel Fault Acknowledge/Reset button. 4. Select Manual or Auto, as required.
  • Battery Failed Code 1443
    Fix: Dead battery - engine will not start. See code 441 for corrective action.
  • There is no remote circuit signal (12 VDC at auxiliary relay board A28-TB1-6) because the remote circuit is not functioning properly.
    Fix: Apply 12 VDC to A28-TB1-6. If the engine cranks, find and repair the fault in the remote control circuit. See Section 7 for remote connections.
  • There is no remote circuit signal (12 VDC at auxiliary relay board A28-TB1-6) because fuse F3 on the ECM has blown. a
    Fix: A. Replace the fuse with one of the same type and amp rating (15 A).<br>b. If fuse F3 blows again, find and repair the fault in the remote control circuit, such as a loose wire that may be shorting to ground or a shorted relay coil or other component. See Section 7 for remote connections.
  • The starter disconnects normally but neither the panel nor the remote Run indicator lamps light
    Cause: AC (K10) starter disconnect circuit is not working
  • The Run-Stop-Remote switch is at Stop. (The Switch-Off light will be flashing.)
    Fix: Push the Run-Stop-Remote switch to Remote.
  • The magnetic speed pick-up is defective or requires adjustment. 9
    Fix: Refer to Magnetic Speed Pickup Unit Adjustment in Section 6.
  • The grounding strap between the control box and the battery negative (−) terminal or the ground wire between the control and engine ground is loose, damaged or missing
    Fix: Check for continuity (zero ohms) between the grounding stud on the bottom of the control box and the battery negative (−) terminal. If there is no continuity or the grounding strap is loose or damaged, repair as necessary.
  • The engine runs until fault shutdown.
    Fix: 1. The OVERSPEED lamp comes on and the engine shuts down. a. Reset the ECM by pushing the Run-Stop-Remote switch to Stop and the Reset switch to Reset and restart the set, monitoring engine speed. b. Adjust the governor for Type A fuel system/check operation of Type B integrated governor (see Section 6). c. Type A: If the governor cannot be adjusted to prevent shutdown due to overspeed, check for binding in the linkage. Repair and adjust the linkage as necessary. d. Type A and B: If the set still shuts down due to overspeed, re-install the magnetic speed pick-up unit to make sure the clearance with the flywheel gear teeth is correct (see Section 6). Replace the speed-pickup unit if output voltage at cranking speed is less than 1.5 VAC. (Intermittent open on magnetic speed pick-up lead can also cause an overspeed condition.) e. Replace the governor controller board (Type A) or integrated governor assembly (Type B) if the set still shuts down due to overspeed. 2a. The OVERSPEED lamp comes on and the engine shuts down within 1 to 5 seconds (no over-speed condition detected). (V6 Spec A & B, V10 Spec A−C) a. Remove K5-30 lead from K5. Start genset. If set shuts down and overspeed light is on, replace ECM (A11). b. Remove K5-30 lead from K5 and check lead continuity to ground. If ground present, replace ignition module. c. Connect K5-30. Remove lead K5-87 and check lead continuity to ground. If ground present, replace K5 relay. d. Remove K5-87 lead from K5 and start genset. If set shuts down and OVERSPEED lamp comes on, replace ECM (A11). e. Check Ford engine harness oil pressure lead for proper ground to intake manifold. Must be grounded to prevent false ignition module fault. 2b. The OVERSPEED lamp comes on and the engine shuts down within 1 to 5 seconds (no over-speed condition detected). (V6 Spec C) f. Remove connector from J2 of the ECM (A11) board and check pin J2-6 continuity to ground. If ground present, replace ignition module. g. Check Ford engine harness oil pressure lead for proper ground to intake manifold. Must be grounded to prevent false ignition module fault.

Gaseous Fuel Adjustments adjustment

⚠ Fuel is highly flammable; do not allow cigarettes, flame, pilot lights, arcing switches or equipment in area or areas sharing ventilation.

Tools: Exhaust gas analyzer (for emission sensitive areas)

  1. Start the engine and let set warm up under partial load (at least 1/4 rated load); start with natural gas if dual fuel.
  2. Connect full rated load and turn power adjust valve to full-rich.

Vibration Isolator Installation and Adjustment Procedure adjustment
  1. Place vibration isolators on the generator set support structure; shim or grout so all isolator bases are within 0.25 inch (6 mm) elevation of each other.
  2. Loosen the side snubber lock nuts so the top plate is free to move vertically and horizontally; verify alignment with base and springs.
  3. Place the generator set onto the isolators while aligning the skid mounting with the threaded isolator hole.
  4. Adjust isolators with the leveling bolt to level the set; nominal clearance between top plate and base is 0.25 inch (6 mm) or greater.
  5. If radiator and engine/alternator are mounted on separate skids, make both skids level for proper fan belt alignment.
  6. If the set is not level, adjust leveling bolts until level with sufficient, roughly equal clearance on all isolators.
  7. Lock the leveling bolt in place with the lock nut.
  8. Leave snubber nuts loose to provide better isolation between the generator set and support structure.
Checking AC Electric System While Running diagnostic

⚠ High voltages are present inside the control box and generator output box when the set is running. Do not open the boxes while the set is running.

  1. Check the frequency meter; generator frequency should be stable and match the nameplate rating.
  2. Turn the phase selector switch to each line-to-line phase selection (L1-L2, L2-L3, L3-L1) and read the AC voltmeter; at no load voltage should match nameplate rating.
  3. Turn the phase selector switch to each phase (L1, L2, L3) and read the AC ammeter; at no load current should be zero.
  4. Push the Reset/Lamp switch; all indicator lamps should light, confirming all bulbs are on.
  5. Have any burned out bulbs replaced.
Verify Overspeed Fault Detection diagnostic

Tools: special tool P/N 420-0604

  1. For Type A sets, move the throttle lever/linkage to increase RPM to the overspeed shutdown range.
  2. For Type B sets, remove the two screws securing the throttle body cover and remove cover.
  3. Use special tool P/N 420-0604 to turn the end of the throttle shaft.
  4. With genset operating at no load, slowly rotate the shaft clockwise until RPM reaches the overspeed limit and shuts down.
  5. Replace the throttle body cover after completing the test.
