TABLE 5. TROUBLESHOOTING (CONT.)

Some genset service procedures present hazards that can result in severe per-

sonal injury or death. Only trained and experienced service personnel with knowledge of fuels,

electricity, and machinery hazards should perform genset service. See Safety Precautions.

WARNING

STARTING BATTERIES RUN DOWN

(Marginal batteries, connections, or charging system or, parasitic loads)

Corrective Action:

1. Clean and tighten the positive (+) and negative (−) battery cable connections at the battery, vehicle

frame and genset.

2. Recharge or replace the battery. Refer to the battery manufacturer’s recommendations.

3. Have a battery charging system installed or serviced in the vehicle.

STARTER ENGAGES-DISENGAGES

(Cranking voltage dips below 6 volts—low battery charge, poor connections, long cables)

Corrective Action:

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.

3. Recharge or replace the battery. Refer to the battery manufacturer’s recommendations.

4. Increase battery cable size or run parallel cables.

NO POWER—GENSET RUNNING, STATUS LIGHT ON

(Line circuit breaker OFF, or tripped due to short circuit or overload)

Corrective Action:

1. Turn on or reset the line circuit breaker on the genset (Page 10).

2. Turn on or reset the line circuit breakers on the main distribution panel in the vehicle.

LOW OIL PRESSURE FAULT—CODE NO. 2

(First-level fault code—Low oil pressure cutoff switch did not open)

Corrective Action:

1. Check engine oil level and add oil as necessary (Page 17).

2. Drain excess oil (above dipstick Full mark.)

SERVICE CHECK FAULT—CODE NO. 3

(First-level fault code—Indicates fault with second-level fault code)

Corrective Action: Check the second-level fault code by pressing STOP once. The second-level fault

code will have two-digits. The faults are listed in numerical order in this table.
