This alarm may be set to warn you when 

there  is  only  a  certain  amount  of  fuel 

remaining  according  to  the  Fuel  Flow 

usage  calculation.  Pressing  the    “Up”  or 

“Down”  buttons  will  change  the  Fuel 

Remaining Alarm setting.

Fuel Level

The Fuel Level display shows the amount 

of fuel in the fuel tank in percent of full 

(PC). The indication is based on the fuel 

level  sender  in  the  tank  and  operates 

similarly to a normal fuel gauge. There are 

no adjustments to this reading.

Bombardier® SystemCheck®

Description

The Bombardier SystemCheck is a system 

that  monitors  Evinrude®  and  Johnson® 

outboard  engine  sensors,  providing  clear 

audible and visual indications whenever a 

fault occurs.

The  system  monitors  engine  temperature, 

oil  level,  oil  flow,  oil  pressure,  and  fuel 

restriction.  In  addition,  the  ECM  (Engine 

Control  Module)  can  activate  a  warning 

indication.  Not  all  sensors  are  present  on 

all engines.

For  information  about  the  wiring  of  the 

Commander  to  the  SystemCheck  harness 

can be found on HN0358 in this manual.

Engine Temperature:

The displayed warning is “ENG HOT”.

Oil level:

 

The sensor is a mechanical float switch in 

the 2 cycle oil reservoir. 
The displayed warning is “LO OIL”.

Oil Flow:

 

Four stroke engine:

 An oil pressure switch 

is used. 

Two  stroke  engine:

  An  oil  flow  sensor  is 

used  to  detect  oil  flow  out  of  the  oil 

injection system. 

The warning will be displayed as “NO OIL”.

Check Engine:

 

For  fuel  injected  engines,  the  EMU 

generates  the  warning  based  on  several 

fault  conditions.  For  non-injected  V6 

outboard engines, a vacuum sensor is fitted 

in  the  fuel  line.  This  is  used  to  detect  a 

blocked  fuel  line  or  fuel  filter.  (Non-

injected  engines  without  the  vacuum 

sensor will not display this function.)

The warning will be displayed as “CHK ENG”.

Operating Modes

There  are  three  operating  modes  for 

SystemCheck  systems,  self  test,  normal, 

and diagnostic.

Self test:

 

On power up (key on), a limited self-test is 

performed to inform the operator that the 

system  is  active.  The  test  activates  the 

audible  alarm  and  all  warning  messages. 

During  the  self  test,  the  audible  alarm 

sounds  for 1/4  second. At  the  same  time, 

the  unit  begins  displaying  all  of  the 

warning  messages.  Each  warning  message 

is  displayed  for  1  second.  When  all  four 

messages have been displayed, the self test 

is complete.

Normal  mode

:  This  mode  occurs  when 

two conditions are met. The self test must 

be  complete,  and  the  engine  must  be 

running  in  excess  of  200  R.P.M.  In  this 

mode,  any  fault  detected  will  result  in  an 

audible  and  visual  alarm.  Both  will 

commence simultaneously. 

The  audible  alarm  will  sound  for  10 

seconds.  The  visual  warning  will  be 

displayed for as long as the fault conditions 

exist.
