Hi All,
Primary question: what sensor causes CEL to come on, ECU to enter limp mode, but not flash an error on gauges with Oil/Temp readings within operational ranges?
Boat is a 2008 SAN 210 Team, PCM 343, 1000+ hrs, my first CC =).
Was enjoying a nice set this morning when engine went into limp mode. Restarted a couple times, any attempt to accelerate puts it back into limp. Not receiving any type of buzzer warning or flashing codes on Faria gauges. Just a solid check engine light and throttle will cut out whenever an attempt is made to accelerate with transmission engaged.
Began noticing the prior evening that check engine light was remaining on (never flashing, just solid) at higher speeds/RPMs. I originally mistook this light for a Walter V-Drive low pressure warning, but I have since read this indicator was dropped when PCM began using their own V-Drive. Even when light was on, boat functioned normally, not sure what happened between night and the following morning.
Engine oil level good (although close to a change interval), transmission fluid level good, V-Drive oil level good (pulled one fill/drain plug, appeared to be right at the threads, did not draw any out as I didn't have proper equipment but from the bit dribbling out appeared clear). All gauges I believe are functioning properly; oil pressure was building at higher RPMs (per gaugues), never dropped very low. Temp started low before reaching the middle of the dial then stayed there.
After checking fluids I began playing at the dock with the transmission disengaged. When in neutral light is off. As lever gently moved forward but before RPMs increased, light would come on. I thought this in particular was puzzling, because just moving the lever caused the light to come on, even though engine had not yet begun building RPMs. When actually building RPMs light stayed on, again solid light no flashing. With transmission disengaged, was not having throttle cut out as it does when out on water.
This is my second week using the boat for season, first weekend operated several hours at slow/towing speeds, no issues and never noticed light.
Appreciate any suggestions on things to check, thank you.
