SECTION 3: Troubleshooting Without A Diagnostic Code

Usage:

Troubleshooting Without A Diagnostic Code

This section is to be used for troubleshooting problems that have symptoms but do not have ACTIVE/LOGGED diagnostic codes. Some engine symptoms are caused by conditions or components other than the electronic control system, such as poor fuel quality or improperly adjusted valves.

Before using this section, be sure that you have gathered information about the complaint to adequately describe the symptoms, verified that the complaint is not due to normal engine operation and repair all ACTIVE Diagnostic Codes. Refer to Section 4: Troubleshooting With A Diagnostic Code.

The basic philosophy of troubleshooting this engine is to follow the three steps listed below FIRST to diagnose a malfunctioning engine:

1. Gather Operator Information. Verify complaint is not due to normal engine operation.
2. Perform a visual inspection of vessel. Check fuel and oil level, supply and/or condition. Check for visible wiring and connector problems or damaged components.
3. Check and repair all ACTIVE/LOGGED Diagnostic Codes using the troubleshooting procedures in Section 4, Troubleshooting With A Diagnostic Code.

If ALL three of these inspections reveal no problems, identify probable causes using the procedure or procedures in this section that best describes the symptoms. Narrow the probable causes given in the procedure by considering operator information, operating conditions, and repair history of the vessel.

Operator Information

* What happened, and when?
* Under what conditions?Was the engine rpm (speed) high or low?Was the engine under load?
* Are there any customer or dealer installed systems that could cause this symptom?
* What else occurred?
* When the did the symptoms begin (and what else happened at that time)?

LOGGED Diagnostic Codes

* Do they correlate to probable causes?
* Did they occur at the same time as the symptoms?
* Are some codes Logged repeatedly?

Other Symptoms

* Are they related to this symptom?
* Do they have common probable causes?

Finally, test each probable cause using the tests suggested by the procedure. Be sure to check connectors, especially on intermittent problems! Refer to Section 5, P-501: Inspecting Electrical Connectors for details.

Operator Questionnaire

Ask the operator to answer the following question before attempting to repair an intermittent problem, or a problem with symptoms but no diagnostic codes. Use this and the response guidelines to these questions on the next page.

Measure between (+Battery) and (-Battery) for GPSIM, EVIM and the Engine Vision Display should measure between 21 to 27 VDC. If the voltage is out of range and wiring is correct refer to Special Instruction SEHS7633, for Battery Test Procedure.
4. Turn keyswitch OFF and disconnect ECM connector J1/P1. Disconnect the EMS Main Module Connector J99/P99 and the CMS Main Module Connector, J97/P97 if installed. Disconnect the Data booster connector J114 on the PORT and STBD harness, EVIM Main Module connector J100/P100 and the SPSIM Main Module connector J11/P11 if installed. Set an ohmmeter on the 20k Ohm scale and at the ECM P1 Connector

Measure resistance between pin-9 and pin-3.

Measure resistance between pin-5 and pin-9.

Measure resistance between pin-5 and pin-3.

Measure resistance between pin-4 and pin-9.

Measure resistance between pin-4 and pin-3.

Measure resistance between P2 pin-36 and P1 pin-9.

Measure resistance between P2 pin-36 and P1 pin-3.

Wiggle the harness during measurement to reveal an intermittent short.

If the resistance DOES NOT measure greater than 20k Ohms there is a short in the wiring harness.

NOTE: Make sure to measure the wiring on both the PORT and STBD ECM displays. Leave the Modules disconnected.

5. Turn keyswitch OFF. Use a jumper wire to short the (CAT DATA +) P1 pin-9 to the (CAT DATA-) pin-3 at the PORT ECM P1 Connector. Set an Ohmmeter on the 20k Ohm scale and measure the resistance between the Data Pins on the Display modules. Repeat the step for the STBD ECM.

If the resistance measures less than 10 Ohms there is an open in the harness.

NOTE: Make sure to measure the wiring on both the PORT and STBD ECM displays.

6. Turn keyswitch OFF and make a Display Data Cable as indicated in the diagram below. Connect the Display Data Cable directly to the J60 Service Tool Connector on the engine harness. Connect the suspect display module to the Display Data Cable. Turn keyswitch to the ON position, Engine OFF. The Module should function normally. If the ECM and display function normally the problem is due to the wiring. Refer to step 2 to continue. If it does not function normally temporarily install the display on another engine. If the problem returns replace the display. If the Problem does not reoccur. Replace the ECM. Refer to Section 2: ECM Replacement Procedure.

P-346: Electrical Power Supply to The ECM

Probable Root Causes:

NOTE: For details regarding wiring harness Refer to Engine Electrical Schematic.

* Battery To ECM Below Normal (CID-FMI) 168-01 The Battery Voltage is below 10 VDC for a 12 VDC system for 60 seconds or below 20 VDC for a 24 VDC system for 60 seconds. Trip data is cleared. The Electronic Service Tool Display screens will indicate trip totals are cleared. Small amounts of ECM total data may also be lost.

NOTE: If there are a number of these diagnostic codes logged, the Unswitched +Battery connection is either connected to switched battery or a battery disconnect switch is used. Inspect the Event Code Log and record the number of times the code is logged. Briefly start the engine, turn the keyswitch OFF for about two minutes. Turn the keyswitch to the ON position and check to see if another Diagnostic code is logged. If another code is logged, the unswitched line is not properly connected.

* Intermittent or Low Battery (CID-FMI) 168-02 Indicates the battery circuit to the ECM has either an intermittent or low battery condition while the engine is running. If Battery voltage disappears without returning, the ECM will not log this diagnostic code and the engine will shutdown. The engine may experience engine rpm burps, intermittent and/or complete shutdowns while the conditions causing this diagnostic code are present. The CID-FMI may be viewed on the display modules or an Electronic Service Tool. It is logged only if the engine is running.
* Faulty Electrical Connectors
* Incorrect Vessel Wiring
* Open/Short in wiring harness
* Battery Voltage

Perform the following tests in order:

1. Ensure the vessel has not been serviced recently. Anytime the ECM Customer connector J3/P3 is disconnected this Diagnostic code will be generated. Also verify a battery disconnect switch is not the cause of the Diagnostic code before proceeding.
2. Turn keyswitch OFF and check ECM Connector J1/P1, Customer Connector J3/P3, Service Tool Connectors J42 and J60 and associated wiring for damage, abrasion, corrosion or incorrect attachment. Refer to P-501: Inspecting Electrical Connectors for details.
3. Use a 9U7330 Digital Multimeter and insert Signal Reading Probes to measure the voltage at P3 socket-26 (+Battery) and P3 socket-1 (Unswitched +Battery). For keyswitched battery, measure the voltage between P3 socket-26 (+Battery) and P3 socket-3 (-Battery). For unswitched battery, measure the voltage between P3 socket-1 (Unswitched +Battery) and P3 pin-3 (-Battery). The voltage should be between 11.0 and 32.0 VDC with the keyswitch ON.
4. Use a 9U7330 Digital Multimeter and insert Signal Reading Probes to measure the voltage at P1 socket-6 (+Battery) and P1 socket-4 (Unswitched +Battery) if checking unswitched battery. For keyswitched battery, measure the voltage between P1 socket-6 (+Battery) and P1 socket-14 (-Battery). For unswitched battery, measure the voltage between P1 socket-4 (Unswitched +Battery) and P1 socket-14 (-Battery). The voltage should be between 11.0 and 32.0 VDC with the keyswitch ON.
5. Verify there is not an Aftermarket engine protection switch overriding battery power to the ECM. Also ensure the circuit protection has not been tripped. The Aftermarket engine protection switch should not be overriding power to the ECM.

NOTE: Some vessels may be equipped with an engine protection shutdown system or a idle shut down system (external to the ECM) that interrupts electrical power to the ECM. Some of these will not supply power to the ECM until the engine is cranked, until the oil pressure comes up to acceptable limits or until and override button is pressed. These devices must not interrupt the Unswitched +Battery line. Reset the breaker or the switch and verify that the correct voltage is being received by the ECM.

6. Measure no-load battery voltage at the battery posts. Load test the batteries using the 4C4911 Battery Load Tester. Refer to the Special Instruction SEHS9249, and Special Instruction SEHS7633 for further assistance. The no-load voltage at the batteries should be at least 11.0 VDC, and the batteries should pass the load test.
7. Turn keyswitch OFF. Build a bypass circuit using a 14 AWG wire. Connect the battery end of the bypass DIRECTLY to the battery post. Remove P3 pin-26 (+Battery) and P3 pin-3 (-Battery) from P3 (vessel connector, vessel side). Insert the other end of the bypass into P3 pin-3 and P3 pin-26. Install the temporary switch in the operator compartment. It will take place of the normal ignition switch during testing. After the tests are complete, restore all wiring to the original condition. Symptoms disappear with the bypass installed, but reappear when it is removed, the problem is in the vessel wiring between the battery and the P3 connection supplying power to the ECM.

NOTE: This bypass is for TEST PURPOSES ONLY. It may be left on the vessel temporarily to test whether intermittent problems are due to interruptions in battery power to the ECM. Since this will also bypass any engine protection devices. Obtain approval from the owner before releasing the vessel with this bypass installed.

NOTE: The Added Switch Is Installed In Parallel With The Ignition Switch. Either One Will Turn Power On, And Both Must Be Off To Turn Power Off And Shut Down The Engine.

8. Turn keyswitch OFF. Build a bypass circuit using a 14 AWG wire. Connect the battery end of the bypass DIRECTLY to the battery post. Remove P1 pin-6 (+Battery) and P1 pin-5 (-Battery). Insert the other end of the bypass into P1 pin-5 and P1 pin-6. Install the temporary switch in the operator compartment. It will take place of the normal ignition switch during testing. After the tests are complete, restore all wiring to the original condition. Symptoms disappear with the bypass installed, but reappear when it is removed, the problem is in the vessel wiring supplying power to the ECM.

NOTE: This bypass is for TEST PURPOSES ONLY. It may be left on the vessel temporarily to test whether intermittent problems are due to interruptions in battery power to the ECM. Since this will also bypass any engine protection devices. Obtain approval from the owner before releasing the vessel with this bypass installed.

NOTE: The added switch is installed in parallel with the ignition switch. Either one will turn power ON, and both must be OFF to turn power OFF and shut down the engine.

P-347: Engine Has A Low Coolant Level

NOTE: This is NOT an electronic system problem. Refer to the Systems Operation, Testing & Adjusting Manual for additional information on the following tests.

Probable Root Causes:

* Leak in the cooling system
* Water pump seals
* High engine operating temperature
* Improper sensor installation
* Electrical Connectors and Wiring
* Wiring Harness OPEN/SHORT
* Electronic Control Module
* Low Coolant Level Warning 111-01. The engine has been running for at least 30 seconds and the Coolant Level Sensor has indicated the absence of fluid for at least ten seconds. The CID-FMI may be viewed on the display modules or an Electronic Service Tool. It is logged in memory except as noted. The ECM will activate the warning lamp.
* Very Low Coolant Level 111-11. The engine has been running for at least 30 seconds and the Coolant Level Sensor has indicated the absence of fluid for at least another 10 seconds after Low Coolant Level Warning has occurred. The Diagnostic code may be viewed on the Check Engine/Diagnostic Lamp or the Electronic Service Tool and is logged in memory. The ECM will activate the warning lamp (flashing if DERATE was selected, solid if WARNING is selected). If DERATE has been selected the engine will begin to derate power.

Perform the following tests in order:

1. Perform a visual inspection of the cooling system. Refer to System Operation Test and Adjustment Manual for more details.
2. Inspect water pump seals, a small amount of coolant leakage across the surface on the "face type" seals is normal, and required, to provide lubrication for this type of seal. A hole is provided in the water pump housing to allow this coolant/seal lubricant to drain from the pump housing. Intermittent leakage of small amounts of coolant from this hole is not an indication of water pump seal failure. Replace the water pump seals only if a large amount of leakage, or a constant flow of coolant is observed draining from the water pump housing. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, for a complete description of replacement of the water pump seals.
3. Check ECM Connectors, J2/P2, Coolant Level Sensor Connector P34/J34 and wiring for damage, abrasion or corrosion. Refer to P-501: Inspecting Electrical Connectors for additional information. All connectors, pins, sockets should be completely mated and the harness should be free of corrosion, abrasion or pinched points.
4. Connect an Electronic Service Tool to the J60 or J42 Service Tool Connectors. Turn the keyswitch to the ON position, engine OFF. Monitor the Coolant Level on Display Status Screen.
5. Coolant Level Always Reads OK

Disconnect the coolant level Sensor from the harness and observe the status on the Electronic Service Tool. The Coolant Level Status should change from OK to LOW. If the status changes from OK to LOW replace the Coolant Level Sensor.

6. Coolant Level Always Reads LOW

Disconnect the Coolant Level Sensor from the harness. Observe the status on the Electronic Service Tool. Install a jumper wire from P34 pin-B (Sensor Common) to P34 pin C (Coolant Level Signal). The Coolant Level Status should change from LOW to OK with the jumped installed and the change from OK to LOW with the jumper removed. If the status changes from LOW to OK replace the Coolant Level Sensor.

7. Turn keyswitch OFF. Disconnect the Coolant Level Sensor at connector P34. Set an ohmmeter on the 200 Ohm scale and measure the resistance from P2 pin 16 (Coolant Level) to P34 pin C. Measure the resistance from P2 pin 30 (Digital Sensor Return) to P34 pin B. Measure the resistance from P2 pin 35 (Digital Sensor +8 V) to P34 pin A. Wiggle the harness during each measurement to reveal a possible intermittent condition. Resistance should read less than 10 Ohms through the wires. If the resistance reads greater than 10 Ohms. There is an open circuit in the harness. Repair as required.
8. Turn keyswitch OFF. Leave Coolant Level Sensor disconnected at connector P34 and disconnect J2/P2. Set an ohmmeter on the 20k Ohm scale and measure the resistance from P2 pin 35 (+8 V) to P2 pin 16 (Coolant Level). Measure the resistance from P2 pin 16 (Coolant Level) to P2 pin 30 (Sensor Common), and P2 pin 16 (Coolant Level) to the -Battery Bus Bar. Resistance should measure more than 20k Ohms through the wires. If the resistance measures less than 20k Ohms there is short circuit in the wiring harness. Repair as required.
9. Turn keyswitch OFF. Turn keyswitch to the ON position, engine OFF. Using Signal Reading Probes measure the voltage at P2 pin 35 (+8 V) to P2 pin 30 (Sensor Common). The voltage should be 8.0 ± 0.4 VDC. If the voltage is out of range refer to P-346: Electrical Power Supply to the ECM.
10. Remove J2 pin 16 (Coolant Level Signal). Make a jumper wire long enough reach from J2 pin 30 (Analog Sensor Common) to the J2 pin 16 (Coolant Level Signal). Strip the insulation from both ends of the wire and attach a deutsch socket on one end and a terminal that will connect to the Analog Sensor Common.

NOTE: Do not disconnect the Analog Sensor Common from the J2 Connector. Use a signal reading probe or a breakout T to access the Analog Sensor Common.

Turn the keyswitch to the ON position, engine OFF. Use signal reading probes to measure the voltage at the J2 ECM connector. Connect the positive probe to the suspect J2 pin 16 and the negative probe to J1 pin 5. The voltage should be less than 0.9 VDC. If the voltage is less than 0.9 VDC the ECM is not reading the switch input. Replace the ECM. Refer to Section 2: ECM Replacement Procedure.

P-348: Inlet Air Manifold Temperature Is Too High
