| DISPLAYED ALARM | E-CODE BREAKDOWN | DESCRIPTION | NOTES |
|---|---|---|---|
| Controller Fault | No E-code on HSB | Replace Controller | |
| Overcrank | 1100 | Condition - Engine Cranks but will not Start Unit turns over but will not start. Controller is receiving signal on Wire 18. | Problem 17 |
| Overspeed | 1200 | Prolonged Over 72 Hz for 3 seconds. Possible cause: Stepper motor/mixer body assembly issue. | Test 12 |
| Overspeed | 1205 | Instantaneous Over 75Hz for .1 second (100 milliseconds). Possible cause: Stepper motor/mixer body assembly issue. | Test 12 |
| Low Oil Pressure | 1300 | Occurred while running The default Extended alarm for low oilpressure. Check oil level and pressure. | Test 61 |
| High Temperature | 1400 | Condition - Air Flow Impeded I Flow Issue Check the inleUoutlet for debris. | Test 62 |
| RPM Sensor | 1501 | Twin Cylinder+Running Twin Cylinder Running faults to RPM sensor loss. Possible Causes: air pocket in fuel line. dirty fuel, missing ignition pulse (loss of one of the primary coils). | Test 50 and Test 64 |
| RPM Sensor | 1505 | Twin Cylinder+Cranking Twin Cylinder Cranking faults to RPM sensor loss Possible Cause: starter motor issue, missing ignition pulse (loss of one of the primary coils). | If engine cranks, Test 64. If engine does not crank, Problem 15. |
| RPM Sensor | 1511 | Single Cylinder+Running Single Cylinder Running with Low Fuel Pressure faults to RPM sensor loss Possible Causes: air pocket in fuel line,dirty fuel. | Test 50 and Test 64 |
| RPM Sensor | 1515 | Single Cylinder+Cranking Single Cylinder Cranking faults to RPM sensor loss Possible Cause: starter motor issue. | If engine cranks, Test 64. If engine does not crank, Problem 15. |
| Underspeed | 1600 | Condition - Unit is Overloaded Unit is Overloaded slowing engine speed, fuel supply low or throttle control problem. | Problem 1, Test 50 or Test 12 |
| Overvoltage | 1800 | Prolonged Over-Voltage | Problem 2 |
| Undervoltage | 1900 | Prolonged Under-Voltage Undervoltage due to loss of voltage for some time (10+ seconds). | Test 5 |
| Undervoltage | 1901 | Instantaneous Undervoltage due to sudden loss of voltage. | Problem 1 |
| Undervoltage | 1902 | Both Zero Crosses missing Undervoltage due to faulty excitation winding.or zero cross circuit.or circuit in general. Possible cause: loose wiring, field boost hardware failure | Problem 1 |
| Undervoltage | 1906 | Single Zero Cross missing Undervoltage due to faulty excitation winding , zero cross circuit, or circuit in general. Possible cause: field boost hardware failure | Problem 1 |
| Wiring Error | 2099 | Customer connection low voltage and high voltage wires are crossed. | Check customer connection in generator |
| Overload Remove Load | 2100 | Overloaded - Default (Output Current Method) Unit is overloaded, one of the two CTs is detecting an overload condition. Check transfer switch loadshed functionality. (Change load dynamics or utilize loadshed). | Remove Load |
| Undervoltage Overload | 2299 | Unit was overloaded and attempted to start with a large load connected. The unit can not ramp up the generator voltage to its normal target volt- age value if it starts with a large load connected | Remove Load |
| Stepper Overcurrent | 2399 | Current flow in stepper coil(s ) above specification | Test 12 |
| Fuse Problem | 2400 | Missing I Damaged Fuse The 7.5 amp Controller Fuse is missing or blown (open). | Test 44 |
| Low Battery | Condition-> Battery less than 12.1Volts for 60 seconds | Test 45 | |
| Battery Problem | Condition-> More than 16 Volts of battery voltage or 600 milliamperes or more of charge current at the end of an 18 hour charge | Test 45 | |
| Charger Warning | Less than 12.5 volts of battery voltage at the end of a 18 hour charge | Problem 22 | |
| Charger Missing AC | AC power is missing from the battery charger input | Problem 22 | |
| SEEPROM Abuse | Condition-> more than 1200 writes to the EEPROM in a 5 minute period. |
Generac Error Code 2800 Reset
Error Code 2800 On Generac 22 Kw Gen Set
I'm being flooded with questions about the 2800 shutdown fault code for Air Cooled Generac generators. This code is VERY simple to fix. The new Generac WiFi products that are shipping come standard with the Aux Shutdown kits installed. The 15kW are larger units have 2 switches, while 14kW and lower use just 1 switch.

- E-CODE BREAKDOWN DESCRIPTION NOTES; Controller Fault: No E-code on HSB: Replace Controller: Overcrank: 1100: Condition - Engine Cranks but will not Start Unit turns over but will not start. Controller is receiving signal on Wire 18. Problem 17: Overspeed: 1200: Prolonged Over 72 Hz for 3 seconds. Possible cause: Stepper motor/mixer body.
- Last updated on February 18th, 2021 at 10:03 am. A generator is a very useful device at times of power outages.Sometimes, your generator may face some problems. One of the most common problems that a generator faces is that it starts well, runs for a few seconds, and then shuts down.
- Auxiliary shutoff switch tripped or broken.
