Possible cause and remedy
No bearing to waypoint information received from the
navigator.
Vessel type is set incorrectly. Check vessel type is set to
SAILBOAT (see SmartPilot X-5 Tiller & GP Tiller Installa-
tion & Setup Guide) .
Possible cause and remedy
Serious drive failure – the drive is taking too much current due to short-
circuit or jamming. Check the drive unit.
The SPX-5 Tiller system is unable to turn the rudder. This can occur if
the weather load on helm is too high, or if the (optional) rudder position
sensor has passed beyond the preset rudder limits or rudder end-stops.
Check drive and, if appropriate, the rudder position sensor
Supply voltage has dropped below acceptable limits.
• press standby to clear the alarm and return to hand steering
• start the engine to recharge the battery

Failure codes:
1 = AutoLearn has not been carried out (default setting)
2 = AutoLearn failed, usually due to manual interruption
4 = AutoLearn failed, probably due to drive or compass failure
5 = AutoLearn failed, probably due to motor current limiting
6 = AutoLearn failed, probably due to boat spinning
Repeat the AutoLearn procedure (see SmartPilot X-5 Tiller & GP Tiller
Installation & Setup Guide) .
Motor cables are connected to power terminals (and power cables are
connected to motor terminals) at course computer. Turn off power and
swap over connections.
Caused by any of the following situations:
• the compass is not connected
• the SPX-5 Tiller system is in Wind Vane mode but has not received
wind angle data for 30 seconds
• the SPX-5 Tiller system is in Track mode and:
• is not receiving SeaTalk navigation data, or
• the position sensor (GPS) is receiving a low strength signal – this will
clear when the signal improves
Check connections to the compass, wind instrument and navigator.
Note: The SPX-5 Tiller system stops adjusting the heading as soon as it
loses data.
