Ignition System
Use the Evinrude Diagnostics software to check
for fault codes before troubleshooting. Correct any
problems and clear the codes FIRST.
Required Systems
Following is a complete list of circuits required for
ignition output:
Stop Circuit
• Black/yellow wire NOT grounded (emergency
stop switch lanyard in place).
Battery
• Battery switched B+ input to power up EMM
• Battery B+ input to Start Assist Circuit (SAC) of
EMM
Stator Output Voltage
•
Provides A/C voltage to EMM J2 connector:
Outboard cranking, typical range is 20-40 VAC
(AC output voltage is related to cranking RPM
);
Outboard running approximately 55 VAC.
EMM
•
Controls ignition activation, injector activation,
and ignition timing.
• Start Assist Circuit (SAC) converts battery volt-
age (12 V) to 30 V for system circuit (55 V).
Crankshaft Position Sensor
• Provides EMM with input.
• Outboard cranking speed exceeds 75 RPM and
a steady CPS signal is generated.
Alternator Output/System Voltage
•
System voltage from EMM (white/red) provides
55 VDC to the oil pumps, fuel injectors, and the
ignition circuits of EMM.
Capacitor
•
Connected to 55 V circuit (white/red) to stabilize
current on 55 V circuit
• Negative terminal of capacitor must be
grounded.
Ignition Coil
• Primary circuits are powered by system (55 V)
voltage
• EMM provides control signal to ignition coil
• Output from ignition coil secondary winding and
high tension spark plug wire.
DANGER
The electrical system presents a serious
shock hazard. Allow outboard to sit for two
minutes after running before handling capaci-
tor or 55 V electrical components. Failure to
handle capacitor properly can result in
uncontrolled electrical discharge and possi-
ble electrical shock to humans. DO NOT han-
dle primary or secondary ignition
components while outboard is running or fly-
wheel is turning.
