ID 0127 FMI 08 Pressure Sensor (Transmission Oil) Abnormal Signal - Test

Usage:

3516B 1NW

Note: Ensure that the diagnostic code (CID FMI) is on hold. Ensure that the "SERV CODE"
indicator is ON. Use the electrical system schematic of the engine that is being serviced to
find the connector contact that is located on the Main Display Module. The connector
contact should correspond to the current CID that is shown on the Display Area.

The diagnostic code is recorded when the Main Display Module reads an abnormal sensor
signal. The abnormal signal means that the signal is not identifiable by the internal circuitry
of the Main Display Module. The corresponding Indicator Lamp begins flashing as a result of
this diagnostic condition. Also, the Gauge Needle is in the warning region. The following
examples are possible causes.

 The marine gear oil pressure sensor has a problem.

 The marine gear oil pressure sensor ground circuit in the engine harness is open.

 The marine gear oil pressure sensor signal circuit in the engine harness is shorted to
+battery.

 The marine gear oil pressure sensor signal circuit in the engine harness is open or
the connector is disconnected.

 The harness code is incorrect.

 The Main Display Module has a problem.

1. Check the Display Area and the Harness.

a. Turn the "ECS" switch to the OFF/RESET position.

b. Check for loose terminal connections or corroded terminal connections to

the marine gear oil pressure sensor.

c. Clean corroded terminals and tighten loose connections.

d. Turn the "ECS" switch to the COOLDOWN/STOP position.

e. The "SERV CODE" indicator should be ON for the diagnostic code CID 0127
FMI 08.

2. Confirm that the harness code selection matches the application.

 a. Determine the CURRENT harness code selection. For more information, see
Testing And Adjusting, "Harness Code - Troubleshoot".

b. Determine the CORRECT harness code selection for the application. For
more information, see Systems Operation, "Quad Gauge Module".

c. Compare the CURRENT harness code selection to the CORRECT harness code
selection.

Expected Result: The CURRENT harness code selection is correct for the application.

Results:

 OK - Proceed to 3.

 Not OK - Correct the harness code selection or install marine gear

sensors so that the application matches the current harness code
selection. If the marine gear sensors are not installed, use harness
code 11. If harness code 9, harness code 10 or harness code 12 is
selected, make sure the marine gear sensors are installed. If the
cause of the diagnostic is not found, proceed to 3.

3. Measure the Voltage of the Marine Gear Oil Pressure Sensor Supply Wire.

a. Turn the "ECS" switch to the COOLDOWN/STOP position.

b. Use the 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe to measure the voltage from the Gear
Oil Pressure Sensor Ground Wire (pin B) to the supply wire (pin A).

Expected Result: The voltage should be 8.0 ± 0.5 DCV.

Results:

 OK - The voltage is 8.0 ± 0.5 DCV. Proceed to Step 4.

 Not OK - The voltage is less than 0.5 DCV. The harness wiring has a
problem. There is an open circuit, a short to ground in the supply
wire for the Marine Gear Oil Pressure Sensor or a poor connection.
Repair the harness or replace the harness. If the cause of the
diagnostic fault is not found, proceed to Step 4.

4. Measure The Marine Gear Oil Pressure Sensor Voltage.

o If the voltage is between approximately 1.0 DCV and 7.0 DCV, the signal
voltage at the sensor is correct. Proceed to Step 5.

o If the voltage is not between approximately 1.0 DCV and 7.0 DCV, the signal
voltage at the sensor is not correct. If the voltage is greater than 7.0 DCV,
proceed to Step 6. If the voltage is less than 1.0 DCV, proceed to Step 7.

a. Turn the "ECS" switch to the COOLDOWN/STOP position.

 b. Use the 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe to measure the voltage from the Marine
Gear Oil Pressure Sensor ground wire (pin B) to the supply wire (pin C).

Expected Result: The voltage should be approximately between 1.0 DCV and 7.0 DCV.

Results:

 OK - : The voltage is between approximately 1.0 DCV and 7.0 DCV.

The signal voltage at the sensor is correct. Proceed to Step 5.

 Not OK - : The voltage is greater than 7.0 DCV. The signal voltage at
the sensor is not correct. Proceed to Step 6.

 Not OK - : The voltage is less than 1.0 DCV. The signal voltage at the
sensor is not correct. Proceed to Step 7.

5. Measure The Marine Gear Oil Pressure Signal Voltage.

a. Turn the "ECS" switch to the COOLDOWN/STOP position.

b. Use the 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe to measure the voltage from the ground
wire contact of the Main Display Module to the signal wire contact.

Expected Result: The voltage should be similar to the voltage that was measured in Step 4.

Results:

 OK - The voltage is similar to the voltage that was measured in Step

4. The Main Display Module is receiving a valid signal voltage. The
Main Display Module has a problem. Replace the Main Display
Module. See Testing And Adjusting, "Module - Replace" for more
information.

 Not OK - The value is not similar to the voltage that was measured in
Step 4. The engine harness has an open circuit in the signal circuits
or the engine harness has an open circuit in the ground circuits.
Repair the engine harness or replace the engine harness.

6. Check For A Short To +Battery.

a. Turn the "ECS" switch to the OFF/RESET position.

b. Disconnect the connector of the Main Display Module.

c. Use the 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe to measure the resistance that is

between +battery and the signal wire (pin C) for the Marine Gear Oil
Pressure sensor.

Expected Result: The resistance should be greater than 5000 ohms.

Results:
  OK - The resistance is greater than 5000 ohms. The signal wire for
the harness is correct. Replace the Main Display Module. See Testing
And Adjusting, "Module - Replace" for more information.

 Not OK - The resistance is less than 5000 ohms. Repair the harness
or replace the harness.

7. Check For A Short To Ground.

a. Turn the "ECS" switch to the OFF/RESET position.

b. Disconnect the connector of the Main Display Module and the Marine Gear
Oil Pressure Sensor connector.

c. Use the 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe to measure the resistance that is

between the ground wire and the signal wire (pin C) of the Marine Gear Oil
Pressure Sensor.

Expected Result: The resistance should be greater than 5000 ohms.

Results:

 OK - The resistance is greater than 5000 ohms. The resistance of the

signal wire for the harness is correct. Replace the Main Display
Module. See Testing And Adjusting, "Module - Replace" for more
information.

 Not OK - The resistance is less than 5000 ohms. Repair the harness
or replace the harness.
