EMM LED INDICATORS
The EMM LED indicators provide a quick refeence to the status of several outboard systems. Checking the LEDs FIRST when diagnosing an engine problem can save a lot of time.
IMPORTANT: LED 1 is toward the rear of the outboard (Closest to EMM J2 connector).

- LED indicators
Key ON
When the EMM is ON (engine not running), the following LEDs should light:
LED 1 – SAC Circuit working – 30 V present on 55 V circuit.
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. For NO LIGHT, check for:
- SAC circuit problem
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 37 – Water in fuel
Code 41 – PORT temp. sensor circuit fault
Code 42 – PORT 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 temp. not reached, Port
Code 59 – Operating temp. not reached, Stbd
Code 67 – STBD temp. sensor circuit fault
Code 68 – STBD temp. below expected range 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:
