Section 7 - Troubleshooting<br />

Diagnosing EFI Problems<br />

Your authorized Mercury MerCruiser dealer has the proper service tools for diagnosing<br />

problems on Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) Systems. The Electronic Control Module (ECM)<br />

on these engines has the ability to detect some problems with the system when they occur,<br />

and store a Trouble Code in the ECM's memory. This code can then be read later by a<br />

service technician using a special diagnostic tool.<br />

Diagnosing DTS Problems<br />

Your authorized Mercury MerCruiser dealer has the proper service tools for diagnosing<br />

problems on Digital Throttle and Shift (DTS) Systems. The Electronic Control Module<br />

(ECM)/Propulsion Control Module (PCM) on these engines has the ability to detect some<br />

problems with the system when they occur, and store a Trouble Code in the ECM/PCM's<br />

memory. This code can then be read later by a service technician using a special diagnostic<br />

tool.<br />

Engine Guardian System<br />

The Engine Guardian System monitors the critical sensors on the engine for any early<br />

indications of problems. The system will respond to a problem by emitting a continuous<br />

beep and/or reducing engine power in order to provide engine protection.<br />

If Guardian System has been activated, reduce throttle speed. The horn will turn off when<br />

throttle speed is within the allowable limit. Consult an authorized Mercury MerCruiser<br />

dealer for assistance.<br />
