Engine protection mode (EFI systems)
In a low oil pressure or engine overheat situation, the EFI sys-
tem enters an engine protection mode. In these situations, nor-
mal engine operation is limited to 2500 RPM or less. Above
2500 RPM the engine will exhibit poor running characteristics.
Use the oil pressure and water temperature gauges to verify a
problem exists, then check the engine for proper oil level and
the water inlets for obstructions. The low oil pressure/engine
overheat problem must be corrected before the engine will re-
turn to normal operation.
To reset the engine protection mode after the problem is cor-
rected, shut off the engine, then restart it.
NOTE! If the problem continues, contact your near-
est Volvo Penta dealer and have the engine
checked.
