The diagnostic code is recorded when the Main Display Module reads an abnormal sensor signal. The abnormal signal means that the signal is not identifiable by the internal circuitry of the Main Display Module. The corresponding Indicator Lamp begins flashing as a result of this diagnostic condition. Also, the Gauge Needle is in the warning region. The following examples are possible causes.
- The marine gear oil pressure sensor has a problem.
- The marine gear oil pressure sensor ground circuit in the engine harness is open.
- The marine gear oil pressure sensor signal circuit in the engine harness is shorted to +battery.
- The marine gear oil pressure sensor signal circuit in the engine harness is open or the connector is disconnected.
- The harness code is incorrect.
- The Main Display Module has a problem.
- Check the Display Area and the Harness.
- Turn the "ECS" switch to the OFF/RESET position.
- Check for loose terminal connections or corroded terminal connections to the marine gear oil pressure sensor.
- Clean corroded terminals and tighten loose connections.
- Turn the "ECS" switch to the COOLDOWN/STOP position.
- The "SERV CODE" indicator should be ON for the diagnostic code CID 0127 FMI 08.
- Confirm that the harness code selection matches the application.
- Determine the CURRENT harness code selection. For more information, see Testing And Adjusting, "Harness Code - Troubleshoot".
- Determine the CORRECT harness code selection for the application. For more information, see Systems Operation, "Quad Gauge Module".
- Compare the CURRENT harness code selection to the CORRECT harness code selection.
Expected Result: The CURRENT harness code selection is correct for the application.
Results:
- OK - Proceed to 3.
- Not OK - Correct the harness code selection or install marine gear sensors so that the application matches the current harness code selection. If the marine gear sensors are not installed, use harness code 11. If harness code 9, harness code 10 or harness code 12 is selected, make sure the marine gear sensors are installed. If the cause of the diagnostic is not found, proceed to 3.
- OK - Proceed to 3.
- Measure the Voltage of the Marine Gear Oil Pressure Sensor Supply Wire.
- Turn the "ECS" switch to the COOLDOWN/STOP position.
- Use the 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe to measure the voltage from the Gear Oil Pressure Sensor Ground Wire (pin B) to the supply wire (pin A).
Expected Result: The voltage should be 8.0 ± 0.5 DCV.
Results:
- OK - The voltage is 8.0 ± 0.5 DCV. Proceed to Step 4.
- Not OK - The voltage is less than 0.5 DCV. The harness wiring has a problem. There is an open circuit, a short to ground in the supply wire for the Marine Gear Oil Pressure Sensor or a poor connection. Repair the harness or replace the harness. If the cause of the diagnostic fault is not found, proceed to Step 4.
- OK - The voltage is 8.0 ± 0.5 DCV. Proceed to Step 4.

- Turn the "ECS" switch to the COOLDOWN/STOP position.
- Use the 7X-1710 Multimeter Probe to measure the voltage from the ground wire contact of the Main Display Module to the signal wire contact.
Expected Result: The voltage should be similar to the voltage that was measured in Step 4.
Results:
- OK - The voltage is similar to the voltage that was measured in Step 4. The Main Display Module is receiving a valid signal voltage. The Main Display Module has a problem. Replace the Main Display Module. See Testing And Adjusting, "Module - Replace" for more information.
- Not OK - The value is not similar to the voltage that was measured in Step 4. The engine harness has an open circuit in the signal circuits or the engine harness has an open circuit in the ground circuits. Repair the engine harness or replace the engine harness.
