    What to do if the starter is not engaged on Woodward Control Unit?
    • W
      wilsonsabrinaSep 23, 2025
      If the starter is not engaged, it is possible that the starting relay output of the easYgen-300 is defective or miswired. Measure the resistance between terminals 14 and 11 on the easYgen-300.

    What to do if the engine does not start by pressing the start button on Woodward Control Panel?
    • J
      James AllenAug 25, 2025
      If the engine won't start when you press the "Start" button on your Woodward Control Panel, ensure the unit isn't in "Stop" mode, indicated by the lit "Stop" LED. If it is, press the "Operating Mode" button twice to switch to manual mode.

    Why does alarm 30A start fail occur on Woodward easYgen-300 Control Panel?
    • P
      Paul WilsonAug 26, 2025
      If alarm "30A - Start fail" occurs on your Woodward Control Panel, possible causes include a low fuel situation, a disconnected fuel line, a defective or miswired fuel relay output, a defective or miswired crank relay output, or a crank cutout speed parameter set too low. To troubleshoot, check if enough fuel is present, ensure the fuel line is properly connected, measure the resistance between terminals 13 and 11 (fuel relay) and 14 and 11 (crank relay) on the easYgen-300, and measure engine speed when cranking before ignition.

    What to do if the engine does not start by setting the remote-start signal on Woodward Control Panel?
    • B
      Barbara ArmstrongAug 27, 2025
      If the engine doesn't start using the "Remote-Start" signal on your Woodward Control Panel, the unit might be in "Stop" or "Manual" mode. Press the "Operating Mode" button to select "Auto" mode. Also, check the voltage between terminals 18/15 to ensure the "Remote-Start" signal is correctly wired to the easYgen-300.

    Why does alarm 60A oil pressure occur on Woodward easYgen-300 after engine has fired?
    • A
      Adam ButlerAug 27, 2025
      If the "60A - Oil pressure" alarm appears after the engine starts on your Woodward Control Panel, the engine may not be producing oil pressure, the oil pressure sensor could be miswired or defective. You should check the engine oil pressure, the wiring of the oil pressure sensor, and the oil pressure sensor itself.

    What to do if alarm 13A Generator undervoltage occurs on Woodward Control Unit?
    • T
      Timothy HurstSep 14, 2025
      If alarm "13A - Generator undervoltage" occurs after the engine has started, it might be because the generator voltages are not properly connected to the easYgen-300, so check generator voltages after engine startup. Also, the wiring selected for the generator voltage measurement might be wrong, so use the LeoPC1 configuration software to check the settings of the parameter "Generator voltage measuring". Finally, the voltage regulator may not be set correctly, so adjust the voltage regulator's rated voltage or remote voltage setting.

    How to fix engine overspeeding on Woodward Control Unit startup?
    • E
      Erin DominguezSep 12, 2025
      If the engine overspeeds on startup, it could be due to several reasons. First, the engine governor might not be set correctly, so adjust governor settings for proper response. Second, the parameter for overspeed level might not be set correctly, so set the correct speed for overspeed. Finally, the parameter for the number of pickup teeth might not be correct, so check that this setting is correct for the engine.

    Why does alarm 21A Underspeed occur on Woodward Control Unit after engine start?
    • T
      Teresa BrooksSep 12, 2025
      If alarm "21A - Underspeed" occurs after the engine has started, it could be due to the pickup sensor being miswired to the easYgen-300, so check whether the pickup sensor is properly wired to terminals 37 (GND) and 38(+). It could also be that the pickup sensor is defective, so check the pickup sensor for proper functionality. Finally, the engine may have stalled, so troubleshoot the engine fuel and air supply, and check the air and fuel filters.

    • M
      Mary TaylorSep 4, 2025
      If the engine doesn't start when you press the Start button, it might be because the unit is in Stop mode, indicated by the Stop LED being lit. To resolve this, press the Operating Mode button twice to switch to manual mode.

    What causes alarm 13A Generator undervoltage on Woodward easYgen-300?
    • D
      Doris DaySep 2, 2025
      If the "13A - Generator undervoltage" alarm appears after the engine has fired on your Woodward Control Panel, the generator voltages may not be properly connected to the easYgen-300, or the wrong wiring might be selected for the generator voltage measurement. Check the generator voltages after the engine starts. Also, use the LeoPC1 configuration software to check the settings for the "Generator voltage measuring" parameter.
