Audible Alarm
If an audible alarm has been installed on your boat, it
will perform a brief self-test when the ignition key is
turned to the RUN position. Following is a description
of how the alarm performs the self test.
When the ignition switch is turned to RUN (key on,
engine off), the alarm emits three short beeps to indi-
cate that the ECM is performing a check of the sensors.
If there are any problems detected by the ECM, the
alarm will sound; otherwise, it will remain off.
