DCA-600SSV— TROUBLESHOOTING (DIAGNOSTIC LAMP)
The engine controller of this generator diagnoses
problems that arise from the engine control system
and the engine itself. The malfunction can be
determined by examining the flashing pattern of the
diagnostic lamp (Figure 79) located in the control box.

Method of Operation
1. Normally, the diagnostic lamp will be
dimly
lit when the

flashing pattern on the lamp. This pattern will become
visible once the the reset button on the control box has
been pushed and released. The error code consists of a
series of flashes by the lamp. The error codes are defined

simultaneously, the code for each malfunction will flash
one after another in sucession.
5. After all engine related malfunctions have been diagnosed
and corrected, and the generator is operating in a normal
maner the following code (Figure 82) should be displayed
once the reset button is pressed and released
