Tests
Make sure the SystemCheck engine monitor can
warn the operator during a “NO OIL,” “WATER
TEMP” or “HOT,” “CHECK ENGINE,” or “LOW
OIL” condition. Check the condition of the warning
system and associated wiring and connections.
Test the engine monitor regularly and anytime you
suspect an alert situation has been missed.
The instrument harness must be connected to the
outboard before performing the following tests.
Refer to the
Engine Wiring diagram and the
MWS Instrument Wiring diagram in the back of

IMPORTANT:
Use jumper wires made with the
appropriate terminals to test the warning circuits.

second.
If the gauge lights do not turn on, turn the key
switch OFF. Disconnect the gauge 8-pin connec-
tor from the back of the gauge and turn the key
switch ON. Test for battery voltage between
