Wiring
In case of necessary repair of a cable connection, take special care that cable quality,
isolation, crimping, strand end soldering of cable sockets as well as protective varnish isolation
and/or connector locks meet the respective requirements.
Tools for crimp connections to be found in tool catalog P/N Z001002/0 "Level 4".
06.06.01 Electronic Engine Management System
The STEYR Marine engine is equipped with an Electronic Management System (EMS) that
performs the following:
* controls engine functions to ensure maximum efficiency.
* self-diagnostic to protect the engine from damage if operating parameter are exceeded.
* stores diagnostic data of EMS server circuits for maintenance and service.
Engine power is reduced if:

06.06.02 Diagnostic system
The electronic engine management system controls the following parameters:
Oil pressure, boost pressure, coolant temperature, hi-riser (bend) temperature.
The electronic engine management system has an automatic self-test program checking all data
of electronic sensors. As soon as a fault is found, there is an optical or audible signal (refer to chart
"Error Codes").
Occurred faults remain stored until cancellation. Stored faults may be selected, analyzed and
cancelled by means of PC via diagnostic outlet.
A reference to one or several stored faults is the 5 second "TESTING" of the "CHECK-ENGINE
LAMP" and the "WARNING HORN" after ignition ON, instead of usual 0,7 seconds. (refer to chart
"Operating Status")
On the CHECK-ENGINE lamp (E) stored faults may be indicated by flashing codes. (With a
special procedure, (06.06.04) individual cancellation is possible.) Error codes are regarded both as
flashing codes as will as display by diagnostic instrument.
There are three fault categories: temporary faults, non essential faults and essential faults.
