Engine Does Not Shutdown
SMCS Code: 4490-035
System Operation Description:
The engine does not shut down when a shutdown
fault occurs.

System Schema tic For Electronic governor Relay
Note: It is critical that the G SC+P setpoint P023
is the correct setpoint for the engine application.
Ensure that setpoint P023 is programmed correctly
for the engine application before continuing with this
procedure.
There are several possible causes when a shutdown
fault occurs and an engine does not shut down:
•
Operator Error: The operating conditions of the
generator may not be understood by the operator.
Ensure that the condition is one that should cause
an engine shutdown.
•
Programming Error - Fault Is Overridden Or
Disabled: It is possib le to program the GSC+ P
in order to override certain shutdown faults. An
overridden shutdown fault will be treated as an
alarm fault. The YELLOW fault alarm indicator will
be FL ASHING inste ad of th e RED fault shut down
indicator. If the GSC+P is programmed in order to
disable a particular fault, there will not be any fault
indicators or codes shown on the GSC+P. In these
cases, it is a good idea to check any setpoints
related to that fault. For example, if a genset
is not shutting down when an overvoltage fault
occurs, m ake sure set point P104 (Overvoltage
shutdown enable) is programmed correctly. It is
also possible to program the engine’s ECM to
override or to ignore certain shutdown faults. Refer
to Service Manual, RENR9968 or Service Manual,
RENR9348 for more information on programming
the engin e’s ECM.
•
Programming Error - Setpoints Incorrect For
Application Or Customer Needs:Itispossible
to program the GSC+P setpoints to a value that
does not allow the situation to be recognized by
the GSC+P as a shutdown condition. In this case,
check the appropriate s etpoints for correct values.
For example, if the genset is not shutting down
when a high coolant temperature condition occurs,
make sure setpoint P015 (High Water Temperature
Shutdown) is correct for the application.
•
Faulty Component: Some examples of faulty
components that could prevent the GSC+P from
shutting down the engine are: engine ECM,
GSC+P, and a broken harness wire or shorted
harness wire. In this case, the GSC+P or the
engine’s ECM will be issuing a command in order
to shut down the engine due to a diagnostic code,
but the engine remains running.
Tes t Step 1. CHEC K FOR DIAGNOSTIC
CODES
A. Check the GSC+P for a diagnostic code on the
upper display.
Expected Result:
The GSC+P should show a diagnostic co de on the
upper display.
Results:
•
YES – The GSC+P shows a diagnostic code on
the upper display.
Repair: Refer to theTesting and Adjusting section
of this book for the diagnostic code that is displayed
on the GSC+P.
STOP.
