Error codes and troubleshooting
| Code | Meaning | What to do | Manual page |
|---|---|---|---|
| CO ALARM indicator | CO-MINDER detected a high carbon monoxide concentration around the generator and stopped the engine. The indicator flashes for about five minutes. | If you feel sick, evacuate and get fresh air. Move the generator to a well-ventilated outdoor location away from buildings and vehicles, then press the CO-MINDER reset button and restart. Do not restart without pressing reset. If it still will not start, consult an authorized dealer. Call service if it persists. | 22 |
| FAULT/CO SENSOR LIFE indicator | The CO-MINDER sensor is nearing the end of its useful life. Flashing once every 4 seconds means about 6 months to 1 year left; once every 2 seconds means about 6 months or less. | Contact an authorized Honda Power Equipment dealer for CO-MINDER replacement. Call service if it persists. | 23 |
| Oil Alert/Check Indicator | Engine oil has fallen to an unsafe level, or the engine has overheated. The engine stops automatically with the engine switch left ON. Tilting the generator can also trigger it. | Check the engine oil level with the generator on a level surface before troubleshooting other areas. If the indicator blinks continuously, contact your servicing dealer. Call service if it persists. | 27 |
| Overload Alarm Indicator | Generator overloaded (over 3.2 kVA) or short circuit in a connected appliance. The indicator stays on; after about 10 s (overload) or 5 s (short circuit) AC output shuts off while the engine keeps running. | Reduce or disconnect the load and find the cause. If the indicator blinks continuously, after removing the cause press and hold the Eco Throttle switch for more than 3 seconds to reset. Stop the engine and investigate the problem. | 27 |

FAQ
Can the Honda EU3200i start a sump pump or well pump?
Starting surge matters more than running watts: this unit is rated 3200 W peak. That covers a typical 1/2 HP sump pump (about 2150 W to start). Use the calculator with your exact pump.
