Possible Causes
Persistent no‑start condition (fuel, ignition, compression), Faulty crank signal feedback, Incorrect start sequence configuration, Weak battery causing slow crank
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Avoid repeated cranking to prevent starter and battery damage. Turn the generator OFF before troubleshooting.
- Review prior faults: Check the controller history for related codes (fuel, ignition, sensor faults) and address those first.
- Verify basic engine needs: Confirm fuel supply, spark (for gasoline models), and air intake are all present and unobstructed.
- Check battery and starter: Ensure the battery is fully charged and that the starter cranks the engine at normal speed. Replace weak batteries.
- Inspect crank feedback: Some Genergy controllers use RPM feedback to detect successful start. Verify the speed sensor wiring and sensor gap.
- Clear lockout: After correcting underlying issues, clear E19 via the controller and attempt a start, observing for new codes.
