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 />
