Default Rinda Scan Tool- Trouble Code Question

2000 Merc 502 MPI, Rinda Scan tool question: One of my engines sometimes sets a "General Warning #1 Telltale Indicator" code. No other numeric trouble codes. I can't find any reference to it in the Merc Service Manual. Anyone have any idea what it means?

Some times if you hit the help button while it is up, It might tell you what it is. It's been a little while sence I have seen this, But you should have too general Warning's 1 & 2 one of them is for the drive gear lube bottle and the other I think was for the transmission temp or low oil one of the too I believe. Is a horn going off?

Thanks. Horns aren't currently installed- that's been on my to do list for awhile. However, I don't think the lead from the trans. temp sender is hooked up either, and TRS drives don't have a fluid level sender. Anyway, I check the drive lube and trans fluid every time I take the boat out so it's unlikely there's an actual problem there.

Anyone in South Jersey have one of these I could borrow to check for codes or software I could load onto my laptop? Thanks.

Doesn't do any good to load software on your laptop as the communication cable is not sold separately. Just fyi -
