Energy Command 30 Auto Start Question
I have a brand new motor home with an Onan Generator with an Energy Command 30 auto start feature. My question is this, Why does the generator only run for 3 minutes and then shut off when it has been started in auto gen mode? The generator will run fine and for as long as I want if I start it manually with no problem.
this is new to me, maybe there is nothing wrong, it may be just my lack of understanding of what it can do. My understand is that if the auto gen mode is on, if I lose the shore power for any reason the gen will start and keep the unit cool, I think this is a great feature with a pet inside and we may be away for a while, but after 3 minutes the gen set shuts down and never restarts again, a fault code"36" flashes on the display and that's it.
Has anyone else had this problem? Right now I am at a loss a to what to try to over come this.
BTW the fault code 36 tells me to check fuel(gas), that's ok, secure spark plug leads, replace spark plug, service air cleaner, I find it hard to believe these things are a problem, the gen has less than a hour usage so far, and it will run when started manually.
Thank you for any help
