ENGINE MONITORING
IMPORTANT:
Your
outboard
must
be System Self-Test
equipped with an engine monitoring system
such as I-Command, SystemCheck, or equiv-
alent. Operating your outboard without an en-
gine monitor will void your warranty for
failures related to monitored functions.
During engine start-up, pause with the key
switch in the ON position. The monitoring sys-
tem self-tests by sounding a half-second
beep. SystemCheck gauges self-test by turn-
ing the indicator lights on simultaneously,
then off in sequence.
The engine monitoring system warns you of
conditions that could damage your outboard.
The monitoring system consists of a dash- IMPORTANT: If the self-test does not happen

momentary (for example, oil moving in the
tank), the engine monitor gauge light or dis-
play may remain ON for a full 30 seconds be-
fore going out. If the unsafe operating
condition continues, a light or display remains
ON until the key is turned OFF or the failure is
corrected.
Gauges are available in several styles, such
as a digital I-Command gauge with LCD dis-
plays or a basic SystemCheck gauge.
The warning will reoccur at the next startup if
the problem is not corrected.
If the EMM senses a problem could cause
permanent engine damage, it will also limit
engine speed to 1200 RPM. This additional
protection feature is referred to as S.A.F.E.
(Speed Adjusting Failsafe Electronics). If the
engine was running faster than 1200 RPM
when the S.A.F.E. mode activated, it will
shake noticeably. Under certain operating
conditions the EMM will shut OFF the engine.

gauge displays as follows:
•
LOW OIL means that oil in the tank is at re-
serve level (about 1/4 full).
•
NO OIL indicates an oil delivery problem
such as an empty oil tank or damaged oil
system.
WATER TEMP or HOT indicates an engine
or EMM overheat condition.
CHECK ENGINE or FAULT is used to indi-
cate other fault conditions identified by the
EMM.
If the S.A.F.E. mode is activated and
you are unable to correct the problem,
seek assistance and/or return to safe
harbor. Serious engine damage, engine
shutoff, and/or reduced maneuverabil-
ity may be imminent.
