Controller cannot detect engine rotation. Weak battery, speed sensor, or ignition coil fault.

Engine speed dropped below threshold. Likely overload or fuel delivery issue.

Generator output voltage too low. Faulty AVR, overload, or worn brushes/slip rings.

Too many appliances running. Generator exceeded its rated capacity.

A blown fuse detected on the control board. Identify the cause before replacing.

Coolant below the safe operating level. Liquid-cooled generators only.
