Kohler 5ecd generator giving high battery voltage alarm
Fault code is displayed if the engine starting battery voltage rises above 16 VDC for a 12 VDC system or above 30 VDC for a 24 VDC system for more than 2 seconds when the engine is not running. This fault condition does not inhibit engine starting. The fault condition clears when the battery voltage returns to a voltage within the limits for more than 2 seconds
Check the battery rating and condition.

Kohler 5e Marine or mobile/Generator??????
working on this lacking a meter and manual. ?
working blind I call it. not good that ever. call for help:
it has 2 coils, 2 sparkplugs 2 HV wires to fail, (1 of them)
and 2coil igniter
we use and ohmeter to the bad coil.
primary is of coil (ignitor end) is about 5 to 12ohms. (infinity bad)
secondary coil is high ohms 1000 to 10000, par, infinty bad.
the HV lead is used to measure secondary to coil core metal
the HV lead can fail too. making coil useless.
and last a bad ignitor ,
the 2 coils are same P/N so can be swapped and if failure move to other plug, bingo for bad plug , otherwise bad ingnitor box.

Kohler House Generator powers up when our electricity goes out but then powers right back down?
That is an engine running issue, not a battery issue. :>D The first thing to check would be fuel supply. Can you start up manually and keep it running. If you can, it is the contactor that senses your loss of mains power and switches the generator on. It is not maintaining the connection, or is is misdiagnosing the power from the generator as power from the mains.
