Low Oil Pressure Warning

ComAp controllers show this as a text alarm on the display, not as a numbered code.

⚠️WARNING

The ComAp controller has detected engine oil pressure below the warning threshold. This is an early warning before shutdown level is reached. Immediate attention is required to prevent engine damage.

🔍 Possible Causes

  • •Engine oil level getting low
  • •Oil viscosity breakdown from overheating
  • •Oil filter becoming restricted
  • •Oil pressure sensor calibration drift
  • •Bearing wear beginning
  • •Oil pump wear

🔧 Troubleshooting Steps

  1. 1Check engine oil level on dipstick
  2. 2Inspect oil condition - check for contamination
  3. 3Verify oil filter service interval
  4. 4Compare oil pressure to mechanical gauge
  5. 5Check oil temperature - hot oil reads lower pressure
  6. 6Listen for unusual bearing noise

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a ComAp oil pressure warning and shutdown?

ComAp controllers have two oil pressure levels. The warning (shown as "Wrn") is an early notice that pressure is getting low while the engine keeps running. The shutdown (shown as "Sd") stops the engine to prevent damage. The warning gives you time to check the oil level and pressure before a shutdown.

How do I adjust ComAp oil pressure thresholds?

Use ComAp InteliConfig or InteliMonitor software to access protection settings. Oil pressure warning and shutdown levels are in the Binary Outputs configuration.

Need Expert Help?

Send us the code or alarm and what the generator is doing, and one of our engineers will help you diagnose it.

COMAP-LOW-OIL-PRESSURE tells you where to start. These tell you what to do next.

A fault code names a symptom, not a cause. Our engineers have written the diagnostic sequence they use on site for this class of fault — ranked causes, ordered steps with the reading expected at each one, and the point at which to stop and call someone.
