| CIRCUIT BREAKER TRIPS | 1. Overloaded circuit. | Turn-off some of the electrical load, and reset the circuit breaker. |
| FAILS TO CRANK (ELECTRIC START MODELS) | Low Battery, Bad battery connection, Oil is too heavy, Load is connected | Check battery electrolyte level and charge. Clean and tighten all battery and cable connections. Replace with lighter oil. Always disconnect load while starting. |
| CRANKS SLOWLY (ELECTRIC START MODELS) | Choke closed, Dirty air filter, Rich fuel mixture | Open choke. Clean or replace air filter. Contact an Onan service center. |
| ENGINE WONT START | Loose or worn spark plug lead, Faulty spark plug, Dirty fuel filter or generator set at too steep of an angle, Governor out of adjustment or lean fuel mix | Check spark plug lead connection.

Yes: Is B+ measured at ignition relay K12 terminal | |
| Overcrank fault lamp lights and engine stops cranking after approximately 75-seconds. | See engine service manual for troubleshooting fuel system, ignition system, etc. | |
| Engine runs, shuts down, cranks for 75-seconds, cranking cycle stops, overcrank light ON. | Check fuel supply and ignition. Check operation of carburetor choke solenoid (units so equipped). | |
| Low oil pressure shutdown. | A. Oil level. Replenish if necessary. b. Sensor. Faulty sensor will shut down engine. c. Refer to engine service manual for troubleshooting guide for oil system. | |
| High engine temperature shutdown. | A. Coolant level. Replenish if necessary. b. City water cooled sets. Check water flow, valves, etc. c. Check sensor; check thermostat. d. Radiator model, check fan belts, radiator for obstructions, etc. | |
| Overspeed shutdown. | Check governor and throttle linkages for freedom of movement. Replace module J4. | |
| Low oil pressure light ON. No shutdown. | Disconnect wire at TB11-30. Light On after relay reset—replace Engine Monitor module J5. | |
| High engine temperature light ON. No shutdown. | Disconnect wire at TB11-31. Light On after relay reset—replace Shutdown Monitor module J6. | |
| Smoke and rough operation | Oil in the cylinders has not been burned off yet. | Continue running the generator set until the oil in the cylinders is burned. |
| Generator set runs louder than usual, compartment has holes to the interior, or exhaust system has leaks | Do not operate the generator set and have the exhaust system repaired as soon as possible. See your Onan service center. | |
| The two-digit code consists of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 blinks, a brief pause, and then 1 to 9 blinks. | Cranking time exceeded 35 seconds (indicated by four blinks). | |
| The fault code stops blinking after five minutes. | Press Stop three times within three seconds to restore fault code blinking. | |
| Dizziness | IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, GET INTO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Shut down the genset and do not operate it until it has been inspected and repaired. | |
| Vomiting | IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, GET INTO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Shut down the genset and do not operate it until it has been inspected and repaired. | |
| Weakness and Sleepiness | IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, GET INTO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Shut down the genset and do not operate it until it has been inspected and repaired. | |
| Inability to Think Coherently | IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, GET INTO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. Shut down the genset and do not operate it until it has been inspected and repaired. | |
