Code Question On 2001 496ho
 

These Are The Codes Im Geting Which Ones Mean Something And What Should I Look For Right Now It Will Turn Over But No Spark. Thanks Gary

Pitot Ckt Lo Active
Tps1 Range Lo Active
Steer Ckt Hi Active
5 Vdc Pwr Lo Active

Pitot and steering are always there if not using the smartcraft transom senders. The TPS is an issue that needs addressed. I dont remember seeing that VDC power one.

Is the kill switch in its correct position? Are the batterys fully charged? Has any work been performed before it stopped running?

Just a few questions.

Re:
 

Installed Full Hydro Steering And Went To Bleed The System And No Spark Was Reading The Book And Something About May Be The Throttle Position Sensor Might Be Bad And Shorting Out The 5 Volt Sensor System? Any Ideas?

Are you sure the TPS isnt unplugged? Maybe moving around in there it got hit.

Is It The One On The Engine Or Is There One Somewhere Else?

When my tps sensor failed intermittenly, it tripped the 5v code and caused the engine to randomly (and I mean randomly) loose fire. It would run great for 5 minutes or even an hour and then sputter down and die. Afterwards, would take 7 or eight cranking sessions to fire again... Good luck.

The last one on the list (5 Vdc Pwr Lo Active) is your problem. The 5 volt sensor power circuit is shorted to ground somewhere, most likely a wet sensor. Unplug the sensors one by one, starting with the transom harness, and check to see if the fault status goes to "Inactive" or the Sensor Power jumps back up to 5 volts. Should be easy to find.

Re
 

Where Is The Transducer Located? And By Transom Harness You Mean The On That Plugs Into The Trim Indicators? Thanks , With All The Wires On The Back Of The Engine Its Hard To Find Them. Gary

Not sure what you mean about the transducer. Yes, the transom harness connects to the trim sensors on the gimble ring. If one of those sensors or circuits shorts out, you got no 5 volt power. I bet if you disconnect it, the thing fires right up.

Dave brings a great point, starting with the transom harness. When you unplug these harnesses you will need to wait sometimes 6 to 10 seconds for the active to go away. So dont just unplug and try or unplug and see the code still there. It will take a little bit.

Let us all know how you make out.
