CDS G3 Freeze Frame Faults
The following pages list all of the faults that could be displayed in the CDS G3 Freeze Frame window for Mercury V6/V8
4‑stroke outboards. The faults are sequenced alphabetically. Where applicable, the following details are provided for each fault:
•
Fault Type ‑ Fault codes may be classified as sticky or nonsticky:
Type of fault Method to clear
Nonsticky Clears immediately after the fault is resolved
Sticky Requires a key cycle (off and on) after the fault is resolved to clear
•
Horn ‑ A fault can sound the warning horn. The types of warning are critical, caution, or none. Refer to Section 3A ‑ Audio
Warning System for details.
•
Guardian ‑ The Guardian Protection System monitors critical engine functions and will reduce engine power accordingly in
an attempt to keep the engine running within safe operating parameters. This is expressed as a percentage of full power
on the following pages.
IMPORTANT: The Guardian Protection System cannot guarantee that powerhead damage will not occur when adverse
operating conditions are encountered. The Guardian Protection System is designed to 1) warn the boat operator that the
engine is operating under adverse conditions and 2) reduce power by limiting maximum RPM in an attempt to avoid or
reduce the possibility of engine damage. The boat operator is ultimately responsible for proper engine operation.
•
UFC ‑ The universal fault code (UFC) is displayed on VesselView and in some SmartCraft gauges. For a list of faults
sorted by UFC, refer to Mercury UFC List.
•
Transmission to Helm ‑ This column identifies whether the fault is transmitted to the helm. Faults transmitted to the helm
will be visible on the VesselView or system gauges, if equipped.
•
Freeze Frame Priority ‑ This column identifies the priority of the Freeze Frame fault on a scale of zero to five; "5" indicates
the highest importance, "0" indicates lowest importance.
•
Explanation ‑ An explanation is provided for what a given fault means.
•
Possible Causes ‑ The most likely causes for a given fault are presented in list format.
