The service engine icon or MIL will provide a visual indication of a malfunction with the engine's emission control system and
will remain illuminated while the OBD‑M fault is active.

Testing the OBD-M Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)

1.
Turn the ignition switch to the on position without cranking the engine.
2.
The service engine icon and MIL will remain illuminated for four seconds if the visual indication system is functioning
correctly.

Audio Warning System

IMPORTANT: The audio warning system alerts the operator that a problem has occurred. It does not protect the engine from
damage.
Most faults cause the warning horn circuit to activate. How the warning horn activates depends on the severity of the problem.
There are two warning horn states:

Caution

Critical

There is also an alarm that sounds if the helm has not been properly configured using the G3 service tool.

Caution

If a caution state is detected, the audio warning system will sound for six one‑second intervals.
