That might explain a few things as the LED module has no effect on the CO sensor except as a control panel. So basically if CO got high near the sensor at any point in time it would still shut off. My only reservation is that the guy is not sure if the yellow wire also cuts off the oil level sensor.The guy on FB who talked about the generator going off at some random time was referring to disconnecting the harness to the button/LED module, and not the harness to the CO Sensor.
Those are two different harnesses.
The harness to the button/LED module connects to the button/LED module on the face of the control panel. The CO Sensor is near the front right corner of the generator, outside of the black control module housing and up against the red generator housing. That harness goes to the back right corner of the black control module housing depicted on the photo.
If you disconnect the harness to the CO Sensor (as shown on the Youtube video), you get the same effect as cutting the yellow wire (the yellow wire comes off the sensor along with the rest of that harness). That reportedly will completely disable the CO Sensor and the unit will never shut down (per both the Youtube video and the FB post).
That is not a feature I am willing to live without. I have already had my oil level drop and the sensor luckily picked it up.
