If the shift operation of your Suzuki Outboard Motor will not be activated, it could be that the electronic shift control system has failed.
Why doesn't the Keyless Start System turn OFF on my Suzuki DF175AP?
If the Keyless Start System on your Suzuki Outboard Motor doesn't turn OFF even when the main switch is operated, check for loose electric wiring connections. A main panel failure could also be the cause.
What to do if the Keyless Start System does not turn ON on my Suzuki DF175AP Outboard Motor (error sound heard)?
If the Keyless Start System on your Suzuki Outboard Motor doesn't turn ON, and you DO hear the error sound (five short buzzer beeps), it could be due to several reasons: The key-fob might be outside the operating range, have a dead battery, or be in OFF mode. The key-fob might not be authenticated, or there could be communication failure due to strong radio wave or noise. Check for electric wiring connection failure between the keyless control unit and the outboard motor, or an authentication error between them. An abnormality in the electronic control system of the engine may also be the cause.
What could cause the propeller of my Suzuki Outboard Motor not to rotate?
If the propeller of your Suzuki Outboard Motor is not rotating, it could be due to a worn or damaged propeller bush, a damaged drive shaft, or a damaged propeller shaft.
What to do if my Suzuki DF175AP Keyless Start System does not turn ON even when the engine switch is operated and the error sound (three short buzzer beeps) IS heard?
If the Keyless Start System on your Suzuki Outboard Motor doesn't turn ON when the engine switch is operated, and you DO hear the error sound (three short buzzer beeps), consider these potential causes: * The keyless fob may be outside the operating range, have a dead battery, or be in OFF mode. * The keyless fob may not be authenticated. * There may be a communication failure due to strong radio waves or noise. * There may be an electrical wiring connection failure between the keyless control unit and the outboard motor. * There may be an authentication error between the keyless control unit and the outboard motor. * There may be an abnormality in the electronic control system of the engine.
