2008 250 optimax pro XS steady beep

[markhodges78]

I have a 2008 250 optimax pro with a steady beep as soo. As the engine starts its a non stop beep .. beep beep beep ........... I have checked the oil sensor and the water separator sensor and there fine I'm thinking I need to check the code so my question is will the Rinda Technology scan tool work and which one should I get ?

Thanks Mark .

A scanner is always best to have with the new motors.
Don't know for sure but most sensors work from a switch closing. Have you tried disconnecting the oil and water separator to see if it stops?

Yes I've disconnected them it didn't change anything... and the manual says it would be 4 beeps for oil are water this is a continuous beep beep beep ...

Continuous beep is guardian system warning.

Should be easy to find with a voltmeter

Overheat
Low oil
Engine speed limiter
low battery voltage
Coolant sensor failure
