Multiple Outboard Installations
(AFA and Newer Models Only)
NOTICE
Failure to complete steering sensor calibra-
tion on multiple engine applications can
result in damage to the tie bar(s) and/or the
transom of the boat due to overloading.
For installations with two DPS equipped out-
boards:
•
The power steering pumps of both engines
must NOT run during the calibration proce-
dure.
•
The diagnostics software will disable the
pump for outboard being calibrated.
•
Disconnect the battery cables at the battery
for the second DPS equipped outboard.
Failure to disable the power steering pump of
the second outboard can damage the out-
board and or tie bar(s).
IMPORTANT:
Calibrate the steering position
sensors on multiple engine installations when:
•
installing outboards for the first time
•
replacing a DPS module
•
replacing a steering position sensor
Multiple outboard installations REQUIRE calibra-
tion of each DPS equipped outboard. Calibrate
the End Point of both outboards FIRST. Then cal-
ibrate the Turn Limit of both outboards.
Calibrate End Points
NOTICE
Calibrating end points requires disconnecting
the tie bar(s). During this procedure out-
boards could contact, resulting in damage to
the engine covers. Have an assistant manu-
ally move outboards to prevent damage.
Before calibrating End Points:
•
disconnect the tie bar(s) from the outboards
•
in installations with two DPS outboards discon-
nect the battery cables at the battery for the
SECOND DPS outboard
Connect the MPI-2 and adapter cable to the lap-
top and the NMEA 2000 network. Turn the key
switch to the ON position, then start the diagnostic
program.
After the program connects to the network, select
from the device list the Engine Controller (EMM)
for the FIRST DPS outboard. Then select the
Power Steering button.
1. Select Enable Calibration. The power steering
pump is disabled while in calibration mode.
1. Enable Calibration
2. Press Reset Limits. Then be SURE to select
