What This Code Means

Governor Actuator Fault; Governor Actuator Overload; Unable to sense output voltage; High Battery Voltage; Voltage across the battery system is greater than 19 Volts; Low Cranking Speed; Cranking speed is less than 180 RPM for more than 2 seconds

Possible Causes

  • Control sensed an open or shorted circuit
  • Duration of operation is near full-duty cycle beyond design limit
  • Dirty air filter
  • Blocked exhaust system
  • Voltage sense circuit failure
  • 12 Volt batteries serving the generator set are connected in series (24 Volt) rather than in parallel (12 Volt)
  • Battery boost charge rate is too high
  • Dirty or loose battery cable connections
  • Low battery charge or depleted battery

Suggested Actions

  1. 1Contact Local Dealer or Distributor
  2. 2Reduce the number of connected appliances, especially air conditioners and battery chargers
  3. 3Replace the air filter if dirty
  4. 4If exhaust system is blocked, remove blockage
  5. 5Check battery bank connections and reconnect if necessary so that the 12 Volt batteries serving the generator set are connected in parallel (12 Volt) rather than in series (24 Volt)
  6. 6Select a lower battery boost charge rate
  7. 7Clean and tighten the positive (+) and negative (–) battery cable connections at the battery and at the generator set
  8. 8Recharge or replace the battery
