DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE
Introduction
Introduction
The Polaris Diagnostic Software (PN 2873377) is intended to be used with a FFI™ Fuel Injection service
manual to aid a technician in solving FFI™ service problems. This software allows a technician to:
• actuate individual fuel injectors
• check spark on individual cylinders
• run the electric fuel circulation pump
• perform cylinder drop tests
• display real-time sensor values and system voltages
• display switch conditions and engine performance parameters
• retrieve and clear stored service codes
• display accumulated engine hours
• display recorded engine hours within eight operational RPM ranges
The following pages cover these features and functions in more detail.
Hardware Requirements
A WARNING
This software is intended to be used on a battery powered laptop computer. To minimize electric shock
hazard, DO NOT connect A.C. powered computers to the watercraft.
The Polaris Diagnostic Software will operate on a wide range of laptop computers. It has been tested on
laptops using 286,386,486, Celeron™ and Pentium™ -class processors, including AMD®. At least 400 kilo
bytes (K) of DOS memory must be available for the program to run. The screen fonts and colors will display
well on monochromatic or color displays.
This program is provided on a single 1.44 Mb 31 /2 inch floppy disk. This disk can be accessed by most newer
IBM compatible laptop computers. You can run the software from this floppy disk, however, performance is
much better if you install the software on the laptop's hard drive.
Polaris used a Compaq® Presario™ andalBM®Thinkpad™ during the writing of this manual. Polaris recom
mends that either of these laptops be used since no hardware or software conflicts or problems arose during
our testing and use.
