EMM LED INDICATORS
The EMM LED indicators provide a quick reference to the status of several outboard systems. Checking the LEDs FIRST when diagnosing an engine problem can save time.
IMPORTANT: LED 1 is toward the top of the outboard (closest to EMM J1-B connector).

- LED indicators
Key ON
When the EMM is ON (engine not running), the following LEDs should light:
LED 3 – Sensor Circuits working. FLASHING LIGHT indicates Code 57 – engine will not start.
LED 4 – Stop Circuit not grounded–okay to start. FLASHING LIGHT indicates severe overheat or no oil – engine in SHUTDOWN mode.
Starting
Starting mode occurs from the time the flywheel begins to turn until the outboard is running for 2 seconds. During starting, all four LEDs should light and then go off in sequence.
LED 1 – CHARGING OKAY – Stator signal 30 V or higher.
LED 2 – CRANK POSITION OKAY – input from CPS, EMM powered ON. For NO LIGHT, check for:
- Code 16 – CPS, intermittent loss of sync
LED 3 – SENSORS OKAY (5 V). For NO LIGHT, check for:
- Code 12 – TPS circuit fault
- Code 13 – TPS below expected range
- Code 14 – TPS above expected range
- Code 19 – In Gear (tiller models)
- Code 23 – EMM temp. sensor circuit fault
- Code 24 – EMM temp. below expected range
- Code 41 – temp. sensor circuit fault
- Code 42 – temp. below expected range
- Code 47 – AT sensor circuit fault
- Code 48 – AT sensor below expected range
- Code 49 – AT sensor above expected range
- Code 58 – Operating temperature not reached For FLASHING LIGHT, check for Code 57.
LED 4 – LANYARD/STOP OKAY. For NO LIGHT, check for:
- Grounded stop circuit.
For FLASHING LIGHT, check for:
- Code 29 – EMM temp. OVER range (flashing)
- Code 31 – Engine temp. OVER range (flashing)
- Code 33 – Engine shutdown, excessive no oil condition
Running
When the outboard is running, all of the LEDs should be off. If a light is on, check for:
LED 1 – CHARGING FAULT:
- Code 17 – system voltage (55 V) below range
- Code 18 – system voltage (55 V) above range
- Code 26 – low battery (12 V) voltage
- Code 27 – high battery (12 V) voltage
LED 2 – INJECTOR/IGNITION FAULT:
- Code 51 – cylinder no. 1 injector circuit open
- Code 52 – cylinder no. 2 injector circuit open
- Code 61 – cylinder no. 1 injector circuit short
- Code 62 – cylinder no. 2 injector circuit short
- Code 81 – no. 1 ignition primary circuit open
- Code 82 – no. 2 ignition primary circuit open
- Code 91 – fuel pump circuit open
- Code 94 – fuel pump circuit short
LED 3 – Sensor circuits (5 V), “SENSOR FAULT.” For LIGHT ON, check for possible fault codes:
- Code 12 – TPS circuit fault
- Code 13 – TPS below expected range
- Code 14 – TPS above expected range
- Code 16 – CPS, intermittent loss of sync
- Code 23 – EMM temp. sensor circuit fault
- Code 24 – EMM temp. below expected range
- Code 41 – temp. sensor circuit fault
- Code 42 – temp. below expected range
- Code 47 – AT sensor circuit fault
- Code 48 – AT sensor below expected range
- Code 49 – AT sensor above expected range
- Code 57 – high RPM with low TPS setting
- Code 58 – operating temp. not reached
LED 4 – Engine overheat, EMM temperature or sensor, oil injection pump or sensor, “NO OIL / OVERHEAT.” For LIGHT ON, check for possible fault codes:
- Code 25 – EMM temp. above expected range
- Code 29 – EMM temp. OVER range (flashing)
- Code 31 – engine temp. OVER range (flashing)
- Code 33 – excessive NO OIL faults
- Code 34 – oil injection pump circuit open
- Code 43 – temp. above expected range
- Code 117 – Critical NO OIL detected
