As another example, Transmission Guardian is a MerCruiser DTS feature that protects
transmissions from clutch damage. Transmission Guardian monitors the clutch pack
pressure in forward and reverse gears. If the transmission fluid pressure drops below a
predetermined level, Transmission Guardian lowers the engine torque and speed to
prevent clutch slippage. To avoid possible recurrence of the problem, you should contact
an authorized dealer. The ECM stores the fault and with this information the technician will
be able to more rapidly diagnose problems.
