You got all that info from your Rinda techmate?

darobinson23322 08-02-2013 04:18 PM

yep, its actually pretty easy to use. Now comes the hard part...figuring out what the data means. I also noticed my gauges are not very accurate ie Tach is reading 300 lower than the scan tool. Knowing the exhaust manifold temp was also a plus.

I just got the techmate and it doesn't kick out as much info.. I'm trying to find the best course of action for my fault code finj 2 short.....

38fountained 08-02-2013 04:44 PM

One more thing, you ran your scan with engine running, that could be the difference as well....

darobinson23322 08-02-2013 04:51 PM

yes, it was nice to be able to scroll through all the readings while running....good thing thing there was no boat traffic. I was driving and scrolling!

darobinson23322 08-02-2013 04:54 PM

the new scan tool can test the injectors, IAC, coils, horn and fuel pump relay.

darobinson23322 08-02-2013 04:55 PM

I don't like that you have to be in the boat, ignition on and no print capability

Clear all the faults and run the boat again and see what you get.

Ran the boat this evening and here are the readings from the scan tool with FF data:

Fault 84 Oil PSI CHK HI

Before going out, did you remember to clear the faults? and fault 84 came back while running?

darobinson23322 08-03-2013 03:07 AM

Yes, all faults were cleared.

Below is a list of whats been replaced up to this point:

Replaced Air Idler Control Valve, Sea Water Pressure Sensor, Sensor 8M6000623, Coolant Sensor Temp , Throttle Position Sensor, Water Temp Sender, Impeller and Housing, Thermostat and gasket, removed cleaned heat exchanger and replaced coolant. Impeller was removed intact…no debris in hoses - flushed hoses.

From a service manual.

Fault, SC1000, Audio Alarm, Available Power, (Description.
Oil PSI CKT Hi, Yes to SC, 2 Bp/min, 90%, (Short, defaults to 51.7 psi.

Faults #, Possible Causes, Action to take.
13., Oil PSI CKT Hi or Lo.
13.0, Loose connection, corrosion, open (Lo) or short (Hi) in circuit.
13.0, Inspect circuit. Repair or replace harness.

Well at least you now know what sensor you need to be looking at. Good luck.:)
