1.0 Introduction

OVERVIEW

The Quicksilver Digital Diagnostic Terminal (DDT) has been developed
specifically to help technicians diagnose and repair Mercury Marine
two and four cycle outboard engines.
The Outboard Diagnostics Cartridge contains a diagnostic program
for the ECM that allows the technician access to all of the diagnostic
capabilities available through the engine Electronic Control Module
(ECM).
Simply hook the diagnostic cable to the ECM diagnostic connector and
plug in the software cartridge. You will be able to monitor sensors and
ECM data values including status switches.
The ECM program can help diagnose intermittent engine problems. It
will record the state of the engine sensors and switches for a period
of time, much like a tape recorder would, then you can play back and
review the recorded information.
