Low Oil
Low oil pressure shutdown
Engine · Alarm
The red low-oil icon lights when engine oil pressure drops below a safe operating level. Manual 100515 says the generator shuts down and will not restart until the fault is cleared. The icon is on the controller and the exterior LED lights. The manual's check is the oil level at the FULL mark. Do not overfill. If you find a leak, it says to contact Champion or an authorized dealer.
Seen on: Champion home standby generators with the aXis controller covered by operator manual 100515. These are icon faults, not four-digit numeric codes.
Likely causes
- Oil level below the safe pressure point.
- An oil leak.
- A switch fault is not what the owner page diagnoses. It sends leaks to a dealer.
Checks an owner can do
- Engine off: check the oil and add only to the FULL mark. Do not overfill.
- Look for an obvious leak. If you see one, stop and call a dealer rather than topping it off forever.
- Clear the fault with the manual's reset only after the oil is corrected: OFF, then AUTO.
When to call a pro
A leak, or a shutdown that returns with the oil at FULL, needs an authorized Champion dealer.
