Will not turn over
We are on the road

Re: Need help
 

What is "Gen." specifically? Give me as much info about whatever it is and I'll see what I can find.

Vic,

Is this the generator in the coach? What make and model is the unit?

Try disconecting the power source for a couple of minutes. This might reset the codes.

Re: Need help
 

If it's an Onan -

SERVICE CHECK FAULT—CODE NO. 3(A second-level fault occurred)
Corrective Action: Check the second-level fault code by touching Stop.



See what the second-level fault is.

Could it be low on oil? Or not sitting level to where it thinks it low on oil?

Re: Need help
 

Vic,you must press and hold the switch on the generator to get the complete code.
The 3 or 33 code just tells you there are other codes present
Matt Schurman just repaired my Onan for the same problem ,it would run fine and then after being shut off it would not crank over to restart.
Had a code pertaining to the governer,altho it actually was a problem with the inverter section which is pretty much the brain of the generator.

Re: Need help
 

Oil is good
It is ever a 3 or 33

Re: Need help
 

Tom is right. Hold the STOP button to get the secondary-fault code -


Here's a link to what you may find -
