Fault Code (Fc_X) Indications; Resetting The Fault Code Detection System - Briggs & Stratton 040298 Service & Troubleshooting Manual

The control panel is equipped with sensing circuits that
automatically shut down the generator in the event of
potentially damaging conditions.
When the control panel senses a condition that prevents the
generator from functioning properly, it shuts down the
generator and displays the fault code on the control panel.
This will be displayed as a flashing FC_ (fault code), followed
by the appropriate number. At the same time, it signals the
remote LED to flash in a sequence that corresponds to the
fault code.

For example, "FC_1" on the control panel indicates Low
2
Battery Voltage and the remote LED would repeatedly flash
once with a pause until it's reset or the condition is corrected.
When no faults exist, the digital display functions as an hour
meter and shows the total elapsed running time of the
generator.
Following is a list of possible fault codes:
(FC_1) Low Battery Voltage
(FC_2) Low Oil Pressure
(FC_3) Low Voltage
(FC_4) Engine Fails to Start
(FC_5) Low Frequency
(FC_6) Engine Overspeed
(FC_7) High Temperature
(FC_8) Transfer Switch

Resetting the Fault Code Detection System

After correcting the fault indicated by the fault code, the
operator or technician must reset the fault code detection
system before the Home Generator System will operate.
1. Place the control panel system switch in the OFF
position for 5 seconds or more.
2. Place the control panel system switch in AUTO
position.
If the fault is not corrected, the unit will return to Auto
Shutdown and the same fault code indication (s) will be
displayed.
If more than one fault exists, the control panel will only
indicate one fault condition. Once that fault is corrected, the
next fault will be indicated on the digital display.
