⚠ Hazardous voltage. Moving parts. Will cause severe injury or death. Operate the generator set only when all guards and electrical enclosures are in place.

Tools: DC voltmeter

  1. Measure DC voltage between lead 31A (+) and ground (- ) with sender submerged in coolant; voltmeter indicates approximately 12.5 VDC.
  2. Measure DC voltage between lead 31A (+) and ground (- ) with sender removed from coolant for at least 5-15 seconds; voltmeter indicates a drop to approximately 7 VDC.
3-Wire Low Water Level Sender Test diagnostic

⚠ Hot engine and exhaust system can cause severe injury or death. Do not work on the generator set until it cools.

⚠ Hazardous voltage. Moving parts. Will cause severe injury or death.

Tools: Ohmmeter

  1. Measure resistance between lead 31 and ground with sender submerged in coolant; ohmmeter indicates a high resistance reading.
  2. Measure resistance between lead 31 and ground with sender removed from coolant for at least 5-15 seconds; ohmmeter indicates a low resistance reading.
Battery Equalizer Troubleshooting diagnostic

⚠ To prevent reverse polarity damage to the battery equalizer, remove the ground (GND) connection first and attach the ground connection last when disconnecting the battery equalizer.

Tools: 12-volt test light with alligator clips, Voltmeter with 0.01 volt resolution, Battery load tester

  1. Remove the ground (GND) connections from the battery equalizer; do not allow contact with other connections.
  2. Verify a differential of 12 volts between the +12 volt and +24 volt terminals using a 12-volt test light; the light will illuminate on a functional unit. Remove the test light.
  3. Connect the test light between the +12 volt and GND terminals; the light will illuminate on a functional unit.
  4. With the test light connected, measure and record the voltage between the +12 volt and +24 volt terminals.
  5. With the test light connected, measure and record the voltage between the +12 volt and GND terminals.
  6. Remove the test light.
  7. Compare the values from steps 4 and 5; the difference should be - 0.5 and +0.13 volts on a functional unit.
Oil Pressure Sender Testing diagnostic

Tools: Ohmmeter, Mechanical oil pressure gauge

  1. Disconnect the oil pressure sender lead 7C.
  2. Check the sender resistance with an ohmmeter.
  3. Compare resistance values when the generator set is shut down and when running at operating temperature to Section 1, Specifications.
  4. Use a mechanical oil pressure gauge to further verify correct readings.
Overcrank Test (Typical) diagnostic

  2. Place master switch in RUN to start the generator set.
  3. Connect DC voltmeter negative probe to 0 terminal (wire 16 white) and positive probe to positive (+) terminal (wire 24 red); read approximately 7- 12 volts DC.
  4. Place master switch in OFF/RESET to stop the generator set.
  5. If sensor emits a signal, check continuity of speed sensor leads (wires 2, 16, 24) between controller P1 connector and sensor terminals.
Speed Sensor Test with Separate 12 VDC Source diagnostic

Tools: DC voltmeter, 12-volt battery or DC power supply, Flat piece of iron or steel
