1HIGH TEMPERATURE(Engine coolant or inverter heat sink temperature exceeded design limit)Check the second-level fault code by touching Stop. The second-level fault will be either No. 33 or No. 34.
3SERVICE CHECK FAULT(A second-level fault occurred)Check the second-level fault code by touching Stop. The second-level fault will be one of the following in this table.
8OVERLOADReduce load and restart
11OVERCURRENT FAULT(AC output short)1. Turn off the genset line circuit breaker. If the genset no longer shuts down, the genset is probably okay—check for and repair a short circuit in the vehicle appliances, wiring or shorted battery charger transformer. 2. Check whether the vehicle engine and genset share the same starting battery. If so, and this fault occurs when cranking the vehicle engine, low battery voltage may be causing this shutdown. Increase battery capacity or install a separate battery and battery charging system for the genset.
12INVERTER OVERVOLTAGE FAULTCheck whether the vehicle engine and genset share the same starting battery. If so, and this fault occurs when cranking the vehicle engine, low battery voltage may be causing this shutdown. Increase battery capacity or install a separate battery and battery charging system for the genset.
13INVERTER UNDERVOLTAGE FAULTCheck whether the vehicle engine and genset share the same starting battery. If so, and this fault occurs when cranking the vehicle engine, low battery voltage may be causing this shutdown. Increase battery capacity or install a separate battery and battery charging system for the genset.
14INVERTER OVERFREQUENCY FAULTReduce the number of connected appliances, especially when air conditioners and battery chargers are running.
15INVERTER UNDERFREQUENCY FAULT1. Reduce the number of connected appliances, especially when air conditioners and battery chargers are running. 2. Have air conditioners and other appliances checked for proper operation. (A locked compressor rotor can cause very low power factor.)

Refer to the battery manufacturer’s recommendations. 4. Replace the engine oil with oil of proper viscosity for the ambient temperature (Page 16). (High oil viscosity can slow cranking speed.)
NO. 33HIGH ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE FAULTCorrective Action: 1. Check the engine coolant level and add coolant and repair leaks as necessary (Page 20). 2. Check for and remove any objects blocking the air inlet or outlet openings in the bottom of the genset. 3. Reduce the number of appliances connected at the same time. (Note that high altitude and high ambient temperature decrease engine cooling capacity.) 4. Clean and flush the cooling system to remove coolant passage fouling. 5. If the genset overheats only underway, see the coach manufacture regarding air baffles or other means to direct cooling air into the genset.
NO. 34HIGH INVERTER TEMPERATURE FAULTCorrective Action: 1. Check for and remove any objects blocking the air inlet or outlet openings in the bottom of the genset. 2.

ENGINE DOES NOT CRANKTripped DC control breaker, Low cranking voltageReset the control breaker handle, Have the genset serviced if it keeps tripping. Clean and tighten or replace the positive (+) and negative (−) battery cable connectors and cables at the battery and the genset, Recharge or replace the battery
FAULT SHUTDOWNLow engine oil pressure, High engine temperatureCheck engine oil level, repair any leaks and fill to the proper level (p. 12), Check engine coolant level, repair any leaks and fill to the proper level (p. 14), Check V-belt tension (p. 14), Clean and service the cooling system as required to restore full cooling capacity (p. 14)
ENGINE LACKS POWER OR UNSTABLEInadequate fuel delivery, Contaminated fuelCheck for fuel (air) leaks at all fittings and tighten as necessary, Replace the fuel filter (p. 16), Connect the fuel lift pump to a container of fuel of known quality, Replace the contents of the fuel supply tank if there is a noticeable difference in performance
NO OUTPUT VOLTAGELine circuit breaker Off, Line circuit breaker TrippedFind out why the circuit breaker was turned Off, make sure it is safe to reconnect power, and then throw the circuit breaker On. Shut down the genset and have service performed as necessary to clear the short circuit or ground fault that caused tripping. Then Reset the circuit breaker and start the genset
The genset stopsDoes the genset operate correctly from the genset controls? If it does not, the problem is in the genset, not the EC-20 controller. See the genset Operator, Installation, and Service Manuals.
The indicator light in the Start/Stop switch turns offConfirm that the correct connection diagram (Figures 5 - 7) was used, then check EC 30 wiring connections. Confirm that the correct voltages are present on each terminal. Check all terminal connections on both ends of the wiring harness. Are harness connectors properly joined?
Engine not getting fuelA. Open any closed shutoff valve. b. Check fuel level and refill as necessary. c. Prime the fuel system (p.12). d. Check for fuel (air) leaks at all fittings and tighten as necessary. e. Replace the fuel filter (p. 16).
Low engine temperatureA. Plug in, repair or install engine coolant and engine oil heaters. b. Replace the engine oil if it is not of the recommended viscosity for the ambient temperature.
Blocked air inletService as necessary.
STARTING BATTERIES RUN DOWN(Marginal battery, battery connections, or charging system; or parasitic loads)1. Clean and tighten the positive (+) and negative (−) battery cable connections at the battery, vehicle frame and genset (Page 17). 2. Recharge or replace the battery. Refer to the battery manufacturer’s recommendations.
STARTER ENGAGES-DISENGAGES(Cranking voltage dips below 6 volts—low battery charge, poor connections, long cables)1. Have the vehicle propulsion engine running while trying to start the genset—the battery charging alternator may be able to maintain starting voltage high enough to get the genset started. 2. Clean and tighten the positive (+) and negative (−) battery cable connections at the battery, vehicle frame and genset (Page 17). 3. Recharge or replace the battery. Refer to the battery manufacturer’s recommendations. 4. Increase battery cable size or run parallel cables.
