INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
FEATURES
The newly developed Yamaha Diagnostic System provides quicker detection and analysis of engine malfunctions. By connecting your computer to the ECM (Electronic Control Module) of an outboard motor using the communication cable, this software can be used to display sensor data and data stored in the ECM on a computers monitor. If this software is run on Microsoft Windows 2000 or Windows XP, the information can be displayed in colorful graphics. Also, the software can be operated using either a mouse or a keyboard. In addition, the data for the main functions (Diagnosis, Diagnosis record, Engine monitor, Data logger, and Record of engine oil exchange) can be saved on a disk or printed out.

Functions
Scan Tool
1. Diagnosis: With the engine main switch ON, each sensors status and each ECM diagnosis code or item is displayed. This enables you to find malfunctioning parts and controls quickly. Diagnosis record: Sensors that had been activated and ECM diagnostic codes that have been recorded are displayed. This allows you to check the outboard motors record of malfunctions. Engine monitor: Each sensors status and the ECM data are displayed while the engine is running. This enables you to find malfunctioning parts quickly. In addition, the data displayed using the Engine Monitor function can be displayed in a graph. Stationary test: Operation tests can be performed with the engine off. Active test: Operation tests can be performed with the engine running. Data logger: From the data stored in the ECM, at least two items of 13 - 20 minutes of recorded data are displayed on a graph. (The time varies depending on the model.) In addition, the operating time as compared to the engine speed and the total operating time are displayed. This allows you to check the operating status of the engine. For some models, you can also save the ECM record data in a file so that you can read and display the graph later. Some files: Lets you select and run other applications while continuing to run the diagnostic program. Tilt Limiter Set: Lets you specify the angle of tilt limiter. Digital Electronic Control System Reset: Initializes the identification between the outboard motor and the Digital Electronic Control. Record of Engine Oil Exchange: Lets you record the history of engine oil change.

Fig. 50 Graph setting table

Tab Logging Property Step (sec) Range Sets the period at which the program reads the signals being monitored. The minimum setting varies according to the number of items you are monitoring: starting at 0.5s for up to five items and then rising 0.5s for each multiple of five that you pass. Example: If one to five items, the available range is 0.5s to 60s. If six to ten items, the available range is 1.0s to 60s. Note: If the program is unable to read data at the exact interval that you select, it will operate at the nearest available interval. Sets the total monitoring time. At 0.5s resolution: 5s to 7 hours At 60s resolution: 600s to 840 hours Changes the order of the items on the display.

Tilt up the outboard motor by using the PTT switch on the bottom cowling to decide the position where the tilt limiter is activated. NOTE: Be sure to keep at least 2 inches of clearance between the outboard motor and the motor well. The outboard motor actually stops at the position slightly lower than the corresponding tilt limiter setting angle. Chose the setting angle so that adequate clearance is ensured for the tilt support lever engagement. Always disengage the tilt support lever before setting the tilt limiter. The tilt support lever cannot be released after setting at certain angles.

INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
FEATURES
The newly developed Yamaha Diagnostic System provides quicker detection and analysis of engine malfunctions. By connecting your computer to the ECM (Electronic Control Module) of a watercraft using the communication cable, this software can be used to display sensor data and data stored in the ECM on a computers monitor. If this software is run on Microsoft Windows 2000 or Windows XP, the information can be displayed in colorful graphics. Also, the software can be operated using either a mouse or a keyboard. In addition, the data for the main functions (Diagnosis, Diagnosis record, Engine monitor, and Data logger) can be saved on a disk or printed out.

Functions
1. 2. Diagnosis: Each sensors status and each ECM diagnosis code or item is displayed. This enables you to find malfunctioning parts and controls quickly. Diagnosis record: Sensors that had been activated and ECM diagnostic codes that have been recorded are displayed. This allows you to check the watercrafts record of malfunctions. Engine monitor: Each sensors status and the ECM data are displayed. This enables you to find malfunctioning parts quickly. In addition, the data displayed using the Engine Monitor function can be displayed in a graph. Stationary test: Operation tests can be performed with the engine off. Active test: Operation tests can be performed with the engine running. Data logger: From the data stored in the ECM, at least two items of 78 seconds of recorded data are displayed on a graph. In addition, the operating time as compared to the engine speed and the total operating time are displayed. This allows you to check the operating status of the engine. For some models, you can also save the ECM record data in a file so that you can read and display the graph later. Some files: Lets you select and run other applications while continuing to run the diagnostic program.

Tab Logging Property Step (sec) Range Sets the period at which the program reads the signals being monitored. The minimum setting varies according to the number of items you are monitoring: starting at 0.5s for up to five items and then rising 0.5s for each multiple of five that you pass. Example: If one to five items, the available range is 0.5s to 60s. If six to ten items, the available range is 1.0s to 60s. Note: If the program is unable to read data at the exact interval that you select, it will operate at the nearest available interval. Sets the total monitoring time. At 0.5s resolution: 5s to 7 hours At 60s resolution: 600s to 840 hours Changes the order of the items on the display.
