| 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. | |
