Baller bojans Posted April 22, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2019 We have a check engine light on our 09 196. Is there a way to read the codes through the dash or Zero Off? If not, is it off to the dealer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jimski Posted April 22, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2019 Yep If it’s like our 07 the dash warning light will blink when the ignition is on And it needs to be plugged into a laptop It could be any simple code fault. Knock sensor Low oil pressure at idle. There are some simple things that throw a code fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BraceMaker Posted April 22, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2019 If anyone here ever runs for high level political office please please please; Mandate Marine Engine Management use automotive fault code readers Get some sort of universal waterski course rights bill! Pre-econtrols you used to be able to buy a "winky blinky" code reader or make one out of an LED and a paperclip - but I think 2007 PCM you're going to need a Codemate or better.

Baller oldjeep Posted April 22, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2019 You need the diacom software and cables. Standard stuff for any modern MEFI boat. One of the most useful tools I've bought. They also have their techmate rather than using a laptop, but the techmate is like using 1990's technology compared to the laptop software. The CAN kit gets you everything you need for most modern boats. 09 should be CANbus . the 07-08 PCM requires a special adapter https://www.rinda.com/acro/prodlist.pdf Edit - actually looks like an 09 could be either canbus or the special adapter. You would need to look at your ECM to see if it is ECM-07 or ECM-08 version https://www.rinda.com/acro/Diacom_Engine_Support.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Jody_Seal Posted April 22, 2019 Baller_ Share Posted April 22, 2019 Is this a non cat 5.7? If so I would check the oil pressure switch. Not sending unit but switch they are notorious to fail and for causing the light to come on. Just pull one wire off and see if the light goes out..

Baller oldjeep Posted April 22, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2019 @BraceMaker - not sure about the nautiques, but ever since Malibu went to the fancy screens there is a screen that you can see all the DTC codes on. Can't reset them, but the code and description is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller bojans Posted April 22, 2019 Author Baller Share Posted April 22, 2019 Thanks @Jody_Seal Interestingly enough the oil pressure gauge was bouncing all over when the light came on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
