PROBLEM
CAUSE
REMEDY
1. The output contactor opens
during power delivery, and the
GCM displays
“FAULT LATCHED,
FREQUENCY HIGH”.
A. A faulty connection exists
between the voltage sensing wire
on the contactor terminal and the
GCM.
A. Correct the wiring.
B. The engine speed is set too
high.
B. Decrease the engine speed
setting within the GCM.
C. The engine ECM is faulty.
C. Contact the engine
manufacturer. Replace the ECM if
necessary.
E. The GCM is faulty.
E. Replace the GCM.
