MerCruiser / Mercury Racing PCM-09
Connecting to PCM-09 Systems (continued)
Some applications have a free hanging 10-pin CAN connector located on the
engine's electrical harness as shown in Figure 25. To connect to this type of
CAN port remove the CAN connector's protective cap (or terminator) and
attach the scan tool.
3) Once the tool is connected, turn the ignition switch ON and start the engine
if necessary.
4) After the scan tool displays its initial opening messages use the ▲ and ▼
keys to highlight the "Sterndrives / Inboards" option from the main menu,
then press the YES key to select it.
Engine / ECM Detection
After selecting the "Sterndrives / Inboards" system type the scan tool will first
determine if more than one engine is available for diagnosis. Multi-engine
vessels often have their engines inter-connected via the vessel's CAN bus and can
therefore be diagnosed from a single CAN port. For all available engines to be
detected by the TechMate Pro scan tool they must have their ignition switches
turned ON or be running.
