So after a whole lot of hours and almost new everything I stumbled onto the problem. While deciding to simply swap the location of my speedometer (smartcraft) I unplugged it and removed it from the system entirely. Shortly thereafter and before reinstalling it I hooked my battery back up to...
Yes they connected under the termination resistor on the motor harness. Splits off from the 14 pin "main harness" The reason I left the battery deal out of the conversation is because part of me thinks this was well after I had the "lost motor com" error and it was during my hook and unhook 100...
So I sent my PCM out for repair and they found a bad Can-P circuit (or something along those lines) anyhow when I received the repaired unit and installed it, I still got the same problem. As if it wasn't touched. I brought the boat to the dealer and when they hooked it to their laptop, the...
I seen that.. Called Merc last week, actually several times, and they felt as though it's damn near impossible to switch itself away from starboard as that's the factory default.
VF = Vesselview mobile module that gets plugged into the engine harness and relays data to your smartphone through bluetooth. That could not find the engine eithera nd it's a simple plug and play. My terminator caps are yellow. Also I did a master reset on my tach gauge (master) and it went into...
I never unplugged both gauges at the same time. Always unplugged one connection, cleaned with contact cleaner, and reconnected. By hooking up my vessel view mobile module to the engine harness I figured that this is taking both gauges out of the equation. Also installed a new wire harness from...
There is a jct box which I replaced. The system is a SC1000 tack and speedo. I was not get data to those, I then plugged in my vessel view mobile module to the motor harness and it too would not read data. Terminators are in place and I even went as far as replacing the 14 pin harness from the...
Also when I say I removed the terminator plug that was to install a vessel view mobile module, which also did no communicate with the ECU. The motor starts and runs fine
I just purchased a new 14 pin motor to helm harness and hooked it to my motor and then to my ignition, kill switch and gauge...Same results... No starboard engine located... the new harness had the 120 ohm resistor near the end of the run (2 wire) and I made certain there was a yellow resistor...
I can't seem to find where it's hooked into the motor, when you say the CAN connector is that where the resistor is near the ECU? That has a yellow cap on it now at the motor and my 14 pin is in the other lead. For what it's worth, my trim gauge doesn't work either. Everything worked until I...
I'm almost certain I dont have a gateway module as I'm running the smartcraft gauges and there's nothing plugged into the empty port on the junction box. Isn't that where the gateway would plug into?
Let me first say my 2010 opitimax outboard lost communication with my smartcraft gauges. After unhooking and re-hooking every connection several times and still receiving the "lost engine com" error on both my tach & speedo, I decided to hook a vessel view mobile directly to the motor harness...
