Answer
Hello Again Ahmed:

>>I had the Same Problem Occurring with a Backup Generator and Researched it for Some Time and then Learned that the ECM was Picking Up a Faulty Signal.
>>I Never Did Locate the Faulty Sensor and the Unit is Still Operating Properly Today as it Did then.
>>According to the OEM the ECM May be Picking up a Brief Lapse in One of the Signals from the Sensors if the Unit has been Operating for a Long Time. It is Apparently Not an Unusual Occurrence.
>>Does the ECM Show a Fault Code when the Diagnostic Section is Accessed?
>>What is the Fault Code?
>>Do you have Access to a Diagnostic Unit that can Read the ECM's Fault Code?
>>Thanks.
