Battery Voltage Caution System; Diagnostic System - Suzuki DF100 Owner's Manual

BATTERY VOLTAGE CAUTION SYSTEM

This system is activated when the battery volt-
age deficiency which could impair your motor's
performance occurs.
If this system activates, the red CHECK
ENGINE lamp will light and buzzer will begin a
series of beep.
This system will be canceled automatically
when the battery voltage restores to the proper
voltage level. Refrain from using any electrical
equipment such as P.T.T. system, hydraulic trim
tabs, hydraulic jack plate, etc.
 WARNING

inspecting or servicing the battery can be
hazardous.
Do not attempt to inspect or service the
battery without first reading the warn-
ings, cautions, and instructions in the
"BATTERY INSTALLATION" section of
this manual.
NOTE:
• A marginal battery may have enough power
to start your engine, yet may still cause this
caution system to activate whenever engine
or boat accessory use places a high current
demand on the battery.
• If this caution system activates continuously,
even after you have stopped using engine or
boat accessories, contact your authorized
Suzuki Marine Dealer.

DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM

If abnormal conditions exist in any sensor sig-
nal being sent to the control unit, the self-diag-
nostic system warns of the abnormal condition.
If this system activates, the red CHECK
ENGINE lamp will flash and a buzzer will
sound.
Also incorporated is a fail-safe provision that
allows the operation at a restricted speed even
under such a failure condition.
NOTE:
• The CHECK ENGINE lamp will light briefly
when the ignition key is turned to the "ON"
position.
• The failed system can be identified by the
mode of the red CHECK ENGINE lamp flash-
ing and buzzer sounding.
This diagnostic code is designed to appear
while the ignition key is turned on.
• The buzzer sound with diagnostic system
activating will be canceled by pushing the
ignition key in.
NOTICE
If the diagnostic system activates while
you are operating your outboard motor,
there is an abnormal condition in one of
the sensor signals of the control system.
Consult your authorized Suzuki marine
dealer for repair of the control system.
