ENGINE MANAGEMENT MODULE (EMM)
EXTERNAL SENSORS
4
Throttle Position Sensor
The throttle position sensor receives a voltage sig-
nal from the EMM. As the t hrottle lever is ro tated,
the EMM receives a retu rn voltage signal through
a second wire. This signal increases as the TPS
lever is advanced. A third wire p rovides a ground
circuit back to the EMM.
If TPS voltage is greater than 0.78 volts when the
key is turned to ON, or the recoil starter is pulled,
the EMM:
If the outboard starts, the code is saved.
If code 11 is present as both a Active Fault and a
Occurred Fa ult, re fer to Control Cable Installa-
tion on p. 19. Fo r tiller models, re fer to Throttle
Cable Adjustment on p. 276, or Throttle Cable
Adjustment on p. 287.
If the TPS or TPS circuit fails (below 0.14 volts or
above 4.92 volts), the EMM:
IMPORTANT: When a TPS circu it fault has
been detected, th e outboa rd will not accele rate
above idle speed. To reset, stop the outboard and
correct the fault.
If the TPS circuit reads below 0.2 volts, the EMM:
If the TPS circuit read s above 4.85 volt s, the
EMM:
Crankshaft Position Sensor
Ribs spaced on the flywheel mark crankshaft posi-
tion. As the ribs p ass the ma gnetic field of th e
CPS, an AC volt age signal is generated. Th e
EMM uses this sign al t o identify crankshaft posi-
tion and speed, generate a tachometer signal, and
control fuel and ignition timing.
If the sensor is da maged or the signal is intermit-
tent (10 occurrences), the EMM:
Approximate air g ap b etween CPS a nd flywhee l
encoder ribs is 0.073 inch (1.85 mm).
Use the Evinrude Diagnostics so ftware Monitor
screen to check CPS opera tion. The software
should show an RPM re ading while the outboard
is cranking. If the CPS or its circuit fails, no RPM
reading will appear and the outboard cannot run.
Neutral Switch
The powerhead mounted neutral switch controls a
ground signal from the EMM to indicate shift link-
age position. This allo ws the EMM to control idle
speed variations and start in gear protection. Fuel
and ignition functions are turned off if the neutral
switch is not closed.
If the starter is cranked while t he o utboard is in
gear, or if the switch fails, the EMM:
The Monitor screen o f the dia gnostics sof tware
displays s witch p osition, NEUTRAL or IN GEAR.
Make sure switch is operating properly.
