5500 gen service
I decided for the first time to check the oil. Once I put the stick back in, the light on the switch inside the coach started to flash 3x. Service required. Gen only has 11 hrs on it in less than a y...

Not sure if your 5500 is the carb or fuel injected model.
unscrewing the dip stick checking oil level and re-screwing it back in wouldn't cause any fault codes on either model.
Unless you're low on oil ?, Have seen a riding buddy that forgot to screw oilcap/dipstick back in and lost a considerable amount of oil to trip the low oil warning code.
Might want to check and make sure you didn't dislodge/disturb any wires/hoses/levers, its easy to do..?
"Three blinks indicates a service fault.
Press Stop once to cause the two-digit, second level fault code to blink.
(Pressing Stop again will stop the blinking.)
The two-digit code consists of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 blinks, a brief pause, and then 1 to 9 blinks.
The first set of blinks represents the tens digit
and the second set of blinks the units digit of the fault code number.
For example, Fault Code No. 36 appears as:
blink-blink-blink—pause—blink-blink-blink-blink-blink-blink— long pause—repeat"
Should be in your manual with a list of fault codes... if not see the other recent thread on Onan 5500. I posted a site that has the manual there.
Thanks for this info. I thought for sure I would've gotten more responses. Being that generators are in almost every TH. Figured more people would've come across this issue.
