I have a new Onan 2800 model with 20 hours on it that did the same thing a couple of times. In my case, I was trying to run the air conditioner with the inverter turned off and the charger in bulk stage charging. There is no way to turn the charger off with my mastervolt 3000 watt inverter/charger. When I turned the inverter on prior to starting the generator, the problem went away and the generator started and ran normally. Depending on your setup, these generators will use power from the batteries to "assist" if the load is high so make sure you have "no load" on the generator when starting it. I would recommend just making sure the inverter is turned on prior to starting the generator. Mine would sputter and turn off as soon as I turned the air conditioner on when the inverter was turned off. Mine also showed the fault message but went away once the inverter was turned on prior to generator start.
