I had that error several times last summer. Never figured exact cause, but I think it may have been related to low battery voltage. After I put the batteries on trickle charge a week, the message hasn’t appeared again.

According to that image, your house battery looks to be at 11 volts....which is dead. Likely your issue.

FYI, not sure you know this, but 11.9 is "discharged"....so fingers crossed this is all you need to do! 
| State of Charge | Specific Gravity | Voltage | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12V | 6V | ||
| 100% | 1.265 | 12.7 | 6.3 |
| 75% | 1.225 | 12.4 | 6.2 |
| 50% | 1.190 | 12.2 | 6.1 |
| 25% | 1.155 | 12.0 | 6.0 |
| Discharged | 1.120 | 11.9 | 6.0 |
