In case of emergency
Diagnostic function
The diagnostic function monitors and checks that the engine, stern drive/reversing gear and EVC system function
normally.
The diagnostic function has the following tasks:
● Discover and localize malfunctions
● Notify that malfunctions have been discovered
● Give advice in fault finding
● Protect the engine and ensure continued operation when serious malfunctions are discovered.
Malfunction message
If the diagnostic function discovers a malfunction, it
warns the driver by starting to flash the indicator on
the diagnostic button. To acknowledge the alarm,
press button D on the control panel. When the fault
has been acknowledged, the lamp concerned gives
constant light.
The diagnostic function affects the engine in the
following ways when:
1. The diagnostic function has discovered a minor
malfunction which does not damage the engine.
Reaction: The engine is not affected.
2. The diagnostic function has discovered a serious
malfunction which will not immediately damage the
engine (e.g. high coolant temperature):
Reaction: Engine power is cut until the relevant
value is normalized.
3. The diagnostic function has discovered a serious
malfunction which will cause serious engine
damage. Reaction: The engine is stopped.
4. The diagnostic function has discovered a serious
malfunction which makes it impossible to control
the engine.
Reaction: The reversing gear is disengaged and
engine speed is cut to 1000 rpm.
It is possible to do an emergency shift: Please
