Subsection 04 (INSTRUMENTS AND ACCESSORIES)
As a reserve indicator, the beeper will turn on
when approximately 6 L (1.6 U.S. gal.) is left and
the low level light will continuously blink. It will
turn off when approximately 3 L (.8 U.S. gal.) is
left. Refer to the DIGITALLY ENCODED SECURI-
TY SYSTEM (DESS) section for the coded signals.
The warning light will turn on whenever there is
a problem with the engine management system.
It will blink when there is a problem with the
O.T.A.S.
TM
system or the electric bilge pump.
NOTE: When engine is not running and safety lan-
yardisonitspost,thewarninglightwillremain
turned on until safety lanyard is removed.
Lights Verification
When installing safety lanyard, all lights will turn
on for a brief moment. This confirms their opera-
tion.
Otherwise, remove steering pole cover (refer to
BODY) and unplug cluster connector.
Individually validate the lights supply from VCM as
follows:
NOTE: The PURPLE wire is the common power
wire.
– Install safety lanyard.
– Read voltage between PURPLE wire and every
other wire.

1. Common supply PURPLE wire
2. Probe other terminals individually
NOTE: Perform the voltage reading quickly be-
fore the VCM stops sending the test signal to the
lights. Reinstalling safety lanyard will re-initialize
the VCM.
– Battery voltage should be read. Otherwise,
check wiring. If wiring tests good, try a new
VCM.
– If battery voltage is read, check connector and
if good, replace the indicator light cluster.
Electric Bilge Pump
When safety lanyard cap is installed on its post,
the bilge pump is automatically turned on. It will
remain on until all water is evacuated (if so), then
it will shut down automatically. Then, the pump
will start every 10 seconds to perform this cycle.
Voltage Test
Remove rear access panel and disconnect con-
nector from bilge pump.
Install safety lanyard on its post.
Using a voltmeter, measure voltage between
wires of connector coming from vehicle harness.
Battery voltage should be read.
If so, replace bilge pump. Otherwise, check
wiring. If wiring tests good, try a new VCM.
Off-Throttle Assisted Steering (O.T.A.S.)
The O.T.A.S. (Off-Throttle Assisted Steering)
system provides additional maneuverability in
off-throttle situations. The O.T.A.S. system is
electronically activated and slightly increases en-
gine speed under a pre-programmed RPM when
the driver initiates a full turn. When handlebar is
brought back to its center position, the throttle
reverts to idle.
Run Test
This test is to be performed with the watercraft
in the water (regular riding or jet pump in water
with watercraft attached on a trailer and using a
tachometer).
– Make sure the path ahead is clear.
– Raise engine RPM higher than 4000 RPM for
more than 1 second.
– Release throttle while steering is in the straight
ahead position.
– Within 1 to 3 seconds, turn handlebar all the
way to one side.
