ENGINE GUARDIAN SYSTEM
The Engine Guardian system monitors sensors on the engine for
any early indications of problems. If a sensor indicates a fault, the
system responds to the problem by emitting a continuous or
intermittent horn and, depending on the type of fault, may reduce
engine power to provide engine protection. If the boat is equipped
with System View, a message will be given on the display screen
in conjuction with the horn. Refer to the System View manual for
details. When the key switch is turned "ON", the warning system's
horn beeps once to verify horn operation.
Fault Type and Related Warning Signal
• Critical ‑ Steady horn
• Severe ‑ 5 beeps, each 3 seconds long
• Warning ‑ 3 beeps, each 1.5 seconds long
• Caution ‑ 2 beeps, each 1 second long
• To stop an activated horn warning, turn off the engine. If the
horn continues to sound on restart, the system detected a fault
again. See your Mercury Marine dealer to correct the problem
as soon as possible.
• If on restart the beeping stops, the problem does not need
immediate attention but will require you to see your authorized
Mercury Marine dealer to diagnose and clear the fault.
If the Propulsion Control Module (PCM) detects a fault signal from
an engine sensor, it records a fault code. A Digital Diagnostic
Terminal (DDT) or Computer Diagnostic System (CDS) is required
to extract specific problem codes from the PCM.
WARNING SYSTEM TABLE
The following table is divided into four columns. The Possible
Cause column lists items that could be initiating the fault. The Horn
column lists the type of audible alert that will be given if a fault is
detected. If the boat is equipped with System View, the Monitor
Display column indicates whether or not a message will be given
on the screen. The Guardian Activated and Engine Power
Reduced column indicates if the PCM will reduce engine power or
force the engine into an idle based on the severity of the problem.
The table lists only the possible problem areas and not specific
error codes or messages recorded by the PCM.
