SAFETY INFORMATION
Before working on any part of the outboard, read the following SAFETY information.
DANGER
Contact with a rotating propeller is likely to result in serious injury or death. Assure the
engine and prop area is clear of people and objects before starting engine or operating boat.
Do not allow anyone near a propeller, even when the engine is off. Blades can be sharp and
the propeller can continue to turn even after the engine is off. Remove propeller before ser-
vicing and when running the outboard on a flushing device.
DO NOT run the engine indoors or without adequate ventilation or permit exhaust fumes to
accumulate in confined areas. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide which, if inhaled,
can cause serious brain damage or death.
WARNING
Wear safety glasses to avoid personal injury, and set compressed air to less than 25 psi (172
kPa).
The motor cover and flywheel cover are machinery guards. Use caution when conducting
tests on running outboards. DO NOT wear jewelry or loose clothing. Keep hair, hands, and
clothing away from rotating parts.
During service, the outboard may drop unexpectedly. Avoid personal injury; always support
the outboard’s weight with a suitable hoist or the tilt support bracket during service.
To prevent accidental starting while servicing, disconnect the battery cables at the battery.
Twist and remove all spark plug leads.
The electrical system presents a serious shock hazard. DO NOT handle primary or secondary
ignition components while outboard is running or flywheel is turning.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain conditions. Use caution
when working on any part of the fuel system.
Protect against hazardous fuel spray. Before starting any fuel system service, carefully
relieve fuel system pressure.
Do not smoke, or allow open flames or sparks, or use electrical devices such as cellular
phones in the vicinity of a fuel leak or while fueling.
Keep all electrical connections clean, tight, and insulated to prevent shorting or arcing and
causing an explosion.
Always work in a well ventilated area.
Replace any locking fastener (locknut or patch screw) if its locking feature becomes weak.
Definite resistance to tightening must be felt when reusing a locking fastener. If replacement
is indicated, use only authorized replacement or equivalent.

INITIAL TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
Initial Troubleshooting
Steps
1) Use Evinrude Diagnostics software version 4.0
or later to communicate with Evinrude ETEC
outboards equipped with the ICON System.
Open the Identity screen to check the engine’s
model number, software version, and revision
numbers. Older versions of Evinrude Diagnos-
tics software do not support ICON System con-
figuration options.
DealerPort Engine Software List 008531
3) Turn the Station Protect option OFF for the

ICON System prior to troubleshooting. Use
Evinrude Diagnostics settings screen to turn
Station Protect ON and OFF as needed.
Evinrude Diagnostics Identity screen 008123
2) Check software version and revision numbers

on engines retrofitted with ICON System
accessory kits. 2008 and 2009 Evinrude ETEC
outboards require updated software revisions.

ICON System can be installed and tested with-
out the gateway module.

When the ICON System is installed with a gate-

way module and there is no data on the I-Com-
mand gauges (NMEA 2000), check the software
version and revision numbers for the engine’s
EMM. Also, if a fuel sender is not listed in the
device list for the network, check the fuel sender
circuit(s) by temporarily connecting the correct
black and pink gateway wires together and
recheck the device list.

ICON SYSTEM LED’S
ICON Binnacle Mount Remote Control

During a recoverable fault condition, a single gear indicator LED on the remote control flashes one time
per second. A recoverable fault sets an ICON System fault code.
During a non-recoverable fault condition, all of the gear indicator LED’s on the remote control flash five
times per second. A non-recoverable fault sets an ICON System fault code.
Use Evinrude Diagnostics software to view the ICON System fault codes.

Each 6-port hub contains an LED which illuminates green to indicate network power is ON. The LED on
each 6-port hub should be ON whenever the master power key switch is ON. Network devices can be
connected to any unused port on the hub. Check continuity between the similar terminals of each port to
isolate a faulty hub.

ICON SYSTEM FAULTS
ICON System Faults

The ICON System exhibits two types of faults: Recoverable and Non-recoverable. ICON System faults
are visually indicated by the remote control, the switch panels, the gateway, and the 6-port hub LED’s.
ICON System faults are also displayed on the Faults page of Evinrude Diagnostics and on the NMEA
2000 gauges.
Recoverable Faults
Recoverable faults are Motion or Over-Current errors which occur on a throttle or shift actuator. A motion
error occurs when the ESM is attempting to move an actuator from one position to another, but the actu-
ator does not move. An over-current error occurs when the ESM is moving an actuator and the actuator
draws too much current.
When recoverable faults are detected the remote control continues to send shift, throttle, trim, and
start/stop commands as normal.
During a recoverable fault, the ICON System:
• Flashes a gear LED of the affected engine one time per second to indicate the gear position command
that caused the fault.
• Sends a fault message to the outboard EMM. The EMM then sends a “Check Engine” message to the
NMEA 2000 gauges.
• Stops shift or throttle actuator movement at the point where the fault occurred
• Will NOT activate S.A.F.E.
When all control levers are put in NEUTRAL, the ICON System
• Stops flashing the FORWARD and NEUTRAL gear LED’s
• Continues to flash the NEUTRAL LED of the faulty engine one time per second
• Allows shift or throttle actuator movement to continue up to the point where the fault occured

ICON SYSTEM FAULTS
Non-recoverable Faults
When a non-recoverable fault occurs, the ICON System:
• Flashes all gear position LED’s of the affected engine five times per second
• Sends a fault message to the outboard EMM, which in turn sends a “Check Engine” message to the
NMEA 2000 gauges
• Activates S.A.F.E.
• Moves throttle actuators to idle, and shift actuators to NEUTRAL, if they are functional
When all control levers are put in NEUTRAL and all engines are in NEUTRAL-idle, the ICON System:
• Stops flashing the FORWARD and NEUTRAL gear LED’s
• Flashes the NEUTRAL LED of the faulty engine five times per second if the condition is ESM or actu-
ator related
• Turns OFF all gear LED’s of the failed remote control lever, if the fault is lever-related
• Disables the faulty control lever or ESM
• Allows unaffected control levers and ESM’s to operate normally
• Retains SYNC function for non affected engines
If a port control lever has failed, starboard lever becomes the lead for SYNC.
If starboard control lever has failed, port lever becomes the lead for SYNC.
Station transfer is not allowed when a non-recoverable fault is present. The ICON System remains in this
state until power is reset .
Operation stops if the control lever fails on a single binnacle or concealed side mount remote control.
