MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT
NOTE:
If the Check Engine light is illuminated, it will remain on until the
problem is corrected and the engine has gone through three consecutive warm
up cycles, or if the light has been cleared by a service technician with a scan tool.
One warm up cycle is a starting temperature close to ambient increasing to
operating temperature.
There are two lights on the dash to indicate engine related problems. The operator is
responsible to scan for illuminated bulbs during the course of engine operation. The first
indicator is the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL). The MIL conveys to the operator that a
fault exists that is related to the engine’s control system.
When the MIL light is
illuminated a fault code has been set that requires immediate attention, engine
component damage could conceivably occur. Please stop operation of engine as
soon as safely possible
.
Continued operation of the engine with a MIL or Check
Gauges light illuminated, may cause catastrophic damage to the engine or may
cause an accident resulting in injury or death.
Request that a service technician
inspect the fault code setting. He or she will connect a scan tool to determine the cause
of the MIL to illuminate, diagnose and repair the problem, clear the codes. Test run the
vessel to make sure the issue has been corrected. The MIL related codes are caused
by sensor output and/or conditions that adversely affect the operational output of the
engine. Some of the components that can cause problems are: crank sensor, cam
sensor, fuel injectors, regulators, ignition system and Manifold Air Pressure (MAP)
sensor and throttle position sensors.
The second indicator is the Check Engine light. This bulb will illuminate when a non-
emissions related issue occurs. Items that can cause these codes are high or low - oil
pressure and coolant temperature and various power relays operation,
system voltage
etc. The lighting of this fault indicator would indicate to the operator that the gauges for
oil pressure and coolant temperature should be checked immediately and action taken
to eliminate engine damage. There are safeties in the calibration that will turn off the
engine if the sensor output is out of the normal range (low oil pressure when the engine
is at rated speed for instance). If the engine should turn off for no apparent reason
check this lamp.
Similar to the MIL, the fault code will have to be read and cleared by a service dealer
technician before continuing with operation of the vessel.
