Default Merc Racing 500 EFI Error Code "General warning #1"??

The Rinda tool reported "General warning #1 telltale has been set".

Does anyone know the likely source(s) of the General warning #1 or it's implications?

Thank you!

Check the drive lube.

Oil pressure good?

Been chasing the same issue. I assume your alarm is going off? Mine comes and goes sporadically. I started a thread on this and got some pretty good input on three inputs for the alarm...high coolant temp, low oil pressure, and drive lube monitor. Was told to disconnect them one by one and see if the alarm stops being triggered but thus far no change with the drive lube monitor so onto the other two sensors this weekend.
