X OilPressure Oil pressure Engine dependent
kPa (psi, in.
Hg)*
Oil pressure in the block. This data item changes with engine
speed and is limited on the top end by a check valve in the
engine block.
X OilTemp Oil temperature Engine dependent ºC (ºF)* Engine oil temperature.
X PaddleWheelFilt Paddle wheel sensor Engine dependent Hz
A signal generated by an optional paddle wheel displayed in
hertz (cycles per second) and interpreted by the SmartCraft
software to display speed through the water. If a paddle wheel
sensor is not being used, you will see a default value of 0 Hertz.
X PitotPres_ADC Pitot pressure sensor 10–1013 Counts
The amount of pressure supplied in the pitot system, if the
optional pitot pressure water pickup is installed. The pitot system
is used to drive a speedometer. The data is displayed in counts,
with a usable range from 10–1013.
The number of counts is interpreted by the SmartCraft software
to equate to mph or km/h for display on the gauge. A count of 10
represents 0 km/h (0 mph), while 1013 represents the top speed
detectable by the pitot sensor.
X RPM Engine speed Engine dependent RPM Engine speed in revolutions per minute or RPM.
X SeaPumpPress Sea pump pressure Engine dependent
kPa (psi, in.
Hg)*
The water pressure in the engine block. This item will fluctuate
from idle through wide‑open throttle. It can be affected by the
condition of cooling circuits and the water pump.
X SerialNumber Module serial number – –
Every PCM has a unique serial number, a combination of letters
and numbers that also identifies the controller type and vintage.
X ShiftDmdSensor1 Shift demand sensor –100–100 Percent
This is a dual Hall‑effect sensor used only on mechanical
engines. It is mounted on the throttle and shift bracket. The
magnet is mounted on the shift lever. 0% indicates neutral, a
positive value indicates forward, a negative value indicates
reverse.
X ShiftDmdSensor2 Shift demand sensor –100–100 Percent
This is the secondary dual Hall‑effect sensor used only on
mechanical engines. It is mounted on the throttle and shift
bracket. The magnet is mounted on the shift lever. 0% indicates
neutral, a positive value indicates forward, a negative value
indicates reverse.
X ShiftPos_ADC Shift position sensor 10–1013 Counts
The shift position sensor has a total range from 0–1024 counts,
with a usable range from 10–1013. These counts are used to
calculate the actual position of the shift actuator.
X ShiftPos2_ADC Shift position sensor 10–1013 Counts
The secondary shift position sensor has a total range from 0 to
1024 counts, with a usable range from 10–1013. This sensor
provides redundancy, and allows the PCM to compare its values
to the primary sensor.
