Possible Causes
Disconnected or failed intake air temperature (IAT) sensor, Faulty manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor, Damaged EFI wiring harness, Controller input fault
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF the generator and disconnect battery negative. Allow the engine to cool.
- Locate sensors: On EFI-equipped Lifan engines, the IAT sensor is usually in the intake duct, and the MAP sensor is on or near the intake manifold. Refer to the engine diagram.
- Inspect connectors: Check both sensors for loose, corroded, or oil-contaminated connectors. Clean and reseat them firmly.
- Test sensor resistance/voltage: Use a multimeter to compare IAT and MAP readings to Lifan specifications. Replace the IAT sensor or MAP sensor if out of range.
- Check harness: Follow the EFI harness from the sensors back to the controller, looking for chafed or broken wires. Repair with solder and heat-shrink or OEM-style connectors.
- Clear code: Reconnect battery, clear E19 via controller menu or power cycle, and test run the generator.
