Over Crank

Over crank

Engine · Shutdown

Shutdown. TP-7092 defines Over Crank as three unsuccessful starting attempts. The check column says to check the fuel supply, spark plug, and battery, and to check for loose connections, then contact a dealer if it remains. OnCue Plus uses the same fault name Over Crank (TP-6905 cross-reference for the RDC2 'Over Crank Shutdwn' event).

Seen on: 14RCA, 14RCAL, 20RCA, 20RCAL, 26RCA, and 26RCAL sets with the RDC2 controller (TP-7092).

Likely causes

  • Fuel supply problem.
  • Spark plug fault.
  • Weak battery or loose connections so the three start attempts fail.

Checks an owner can do

  1. Confirm the fuel valve is open and, on LP, that the tank is not empty.
  2. With the set off, look for a loose battery cable.
  3. Do not keep commanding starts after the third attempt has already shut it down.

When to call a pro

Spark-plug service and anything beyond a visibly loose cable belong with a Kohler dealer. TP-7092's check line ends at the dealer if the simple items are not the cause.
