Boat Alarms and Engine Faults
Malibu Boats are equipped with two separate computers connected to many sensors and
controllers that constantly monitor various functions of the boat and engine. Certain
functions, if outside of a pre-determined operational parameters, may activate an alarm.
When an alarm is activated, you will hear an audible buzzer alarm and see an alarm
indicator in the Multi-Function LCD display. Both the engine’s Electronic Control
Module (ECM) and the dash Medallion Instrumentation Computer (M3) have the ability
to activate an alarm.
If the Medallion Instrumentation Computer (M3) activates the alarm, you will see exactly
what the fault description is in the display, such as low oil pressure, high coolant temp,
low or high system voltage Depth alarm and Power Wedge over-speed. The M3 monitors
these sensors independently of the ECM via the CAN link. Additional alarm parameters
may be added.
The Indmar engine for 2010 is equipped with the E-Control New Engine Control Module
with OBD-M. If the engine ECM activates an alarm you will ether see “Engine Fault” or
“Service Required”. “Service Required” will only be seen on engines equipped with
Catalysts Emissions System for the CARB (California Air Resources Board) and EPA
requirements as of June 30, 2006.

return if the problem still exists after 3 minutes.
“SERVICE REQUIRED” alarm is
activated by the engine ECM.
“OIL PRESSURE LOW” warning is
triggered from engine ECM data.
“BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW” is set when
the voltage drops below 11.5 volts.
“ENGINE COOLANT TEMP” warning is
triggered from engine ECM data.
The “SHALLOW WATER” alarm will
appear according to the set-point in the
SETUP menu.

stopped.
