Cummins Onan QG 2800i / 2500i LP inverter generator fault codes
Every fault code, display message, and status light listed in Onan's manuals and support pages for QG 2800i / 2500i LP (HGLAA Spec A-B). Select a code for what it means, what you can safely check, and when to call a technician.
Confirm your model
Codes are model-specific. Match the model number on the appliance data label to one of these before using the table:
QG 2800i/2500i LP HGLAA Spec A, QG 2800i/2500i LP HGLAA Spec B
Where to look and what to record
- generator model/spec
- hour meter
- fault blink count
- loads running when the shutdown occurred
