communication cable into the diagnostic connector. Scan tool adapter #94005
is required for this application as shown below.

if necessary. If the engine will not start, simply leave the ignition switch ON
and proceed.

Connecting Twin Engine Systems
In a twin engine conguration the ECM modules (one on each engine) may be
electronically linked together. is link is usually installed by the boat manufac-
turer and provides the ability to diagnose both engines from a single diagnostic
connector.
With the exception of setting the engine’s base timing, all scanner functions are
available for accessing both engines from one diagnostic plug. In order for the
scanner to function properly in this mode, the ignition keys should be ON for
BOTH engines. It is not necessary to have the engines running, but both ignition
systems should be turned on (Key On/Engine OFF).
For twin installations that are NOT electronically linked together you must con-
nect to and service each engine individually. In this situation, each engine in the
twin installation will respond as Engine #1.
