tics to comply with the 2009 California-mandated OBD-M diagnostic specification. T he
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or a Check Engine warning will appear on the dash
when emission system problems occur on the boat.
If the MIL is set due to an emissions-related fault, a Diagnostic T rouble Code (DTC)
will set. The MIL functions to notify the operator that a problem has occurred so that
the owner/operator can arrange for service as soon as possible, and also to display
DTCs that have been stored. This information about system malfunction assists the ser-
vice technician in quickly diagnosing system issues. When the MIL lights, the owner/
operator should contact an authorized ILMOR deal to arrange a diagnostic scan at the
earliest possible opportunity.
DTCs are stored in the engine control unit memory and can be retrieved with an
ILMOR Marine version scan tool or through Diacom PC Software. That is why it is
necessary to seek assistance from the appropriate dealer.
The Diagnostic Scan T ool will be connected to the Data Link Connector (DLC); a flat
6-pin connector. T he connector is located on the port forward section of the intake mani-
fold and is usually marked with either DLC or Data Link Connector just behind the plug.
Note that the protective DLC cover must be removed prior to connecting the Scan Tool.
