onan generators will flash the light on the start switch (on the generator itself) in a pattern "code" if theres a problem w/ the generator itself.
count the flashes, wait for the pause(s) and watch for the flashes again....iirc the codes are either 2 or 3 digit numbers.
you can retrieve stored codes by pushing the off (side) of the button 3 times.
Heres a video that will help/demonstrate code retrieval - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3gJvJaBtO8
