Yamaha Alarm problem,
I have a 2000 Yamaha 115HP 2 stroke which is sounding an alarm and going into limp mode. The alarm does not sound with the engine off and ignition switch on. After my boat technician concluded the oil control module was faulty. He suggested and I agreed to convert the engine to premix, as he stated his conversion would remove the entire oil injection system including the oil control module. Well, I will not say the conversion was a mistake but it was unnecessary because the alarm and limp mode problem continues. The technician checked the overheat system by temporarily disconnecting the overheat sensors while the alarm and limp mode were activated with no change thus concluding the problem is not overheat related. Also all the dash gauges were temporarily disconnected thinking a gauge may have been shorting with no correction noted. He now thinks the problem maybe the cdi but he would not rule out a short somewhere in the wiring system.
Can I test the cdi unit by unplugging the limp mode wire? Or is there another way to test the cdi short of replacement?
Does anyone know which wire/s going into the cdi set the limp mode? Any ideas would be appreciated.
