If your Genie GS-1930 scissor lift is displaying a fault code, this guide provides the complete list of Operational Indicator Codes (OIC), Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC), and Battery Charger Error Codes from the official Genie service manuals.

Fault codes on the GS-1930 are designed to protect the machine by disabling lift, drive, or all functions when a fault condition is detected. Identifying the exact code is the first step in diagnosing the issue and restoring normal operation.

This page includes:

• Operational status indicator codes
  
• Hardware and coil fault codes (H-series)
  
• Power circuit fault codes (P-series)
  
• Sensor and overload fault codes (F-series)
  
• Communication fault codes (C-series)
  
• Battery charger error codes
  
• Serial number applicability notes
  

Whether your GS-1930 won’t lift, won’t drive, won’t charge, or displays a specific error message, this guide will help you understand what the code means and which components may need inspection or replacement.

The Genie GS-1930 uses multiple types of fault and status codes to communicate machine conditions. Understanding the category of the code helps narrow down the root cause quickly.

Operational Indicator Codes (OIC)

These are status messages rather than electrical failures. They typically indicate:

• Off-level condition (LL)
  
• Platform overload (OL)
  
• Chassis control mode (CH)
  
• Brake release (br)
  
• Pothole deployment issues (nd)
  

OIC codes often disable lift or drive functions until the safety condition is corrected.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)

Diagnostic Trouble Codes identify specific electrical, hydraulic, or communication faults. These are grouped by letter prefixes:

• H Codes – Coil or hardware circuit faults
  
• P Codes – Power supply or voltage faults
  
• U Codes – Switch faults
  
• F Codes – Sensor faults (overload, height, tilt)
  
• C Codes – Communication or controller faults
  

DTCs typically indicate:

• Short circuit to battery positive or negative
  
• Open circuit in solenoid coil
  
• Failed sensor
  
• CAN communication issue
  
• Controller mismatch
  

Depending on severity, the machine may:

• Disable lift only
  
• Disable drive only
  
• Allow platform down only
  
• Disable all functions
  

Charger Error Codes

The onboard 24V battery charger uses separate error codes such as:

• E-0-0-1 (High battery voltage)
  
• E-0-2-9 (CAN bus error)
  
• F-0-0-3 (Internal charger fault)
  

Charger codes typically indicate:

• Battery voltage outside normal range
  
• Temperature sensor fault
  
• Reverse polarity
  
• AC power instability
  
• Internal charger failure
  

Serial Number Differences

Early and late GS-1930 models may use different control modules and software revisions. Some H-series and P-series codes only apply to later serial ranges.

Always confirm your machine serial number before ordering parts or replacing control components.

If your machine is not displaying a code but simply will not operate, visit:

• GS-1930 Won’t Drive
• GS-1930 Won’t Lift
• GS-1930 Won’t Charge

Please have your serial number and displayed fault code ready.

Diagnosing fault codes on a Genie GS-1930 scissor lift can involve electrical circuits, hydraulic components, overload sensors, or controller communication systems. Ordering the wrong part can delay repairs and increase downtime.

Our team operates 500 GS-1930 lifts daily and can help you identify the correct replacement component based on:

• Your model (GS-1930)
• Serial number
• Displayed fault code
• Machine behavior (won’t lift, won’t drive, won’t charge, etc.)
  

If you're unsure which part is causing the issue, contact us before ordering.
