Westerbeke 6.5 MCG - SOFTWARE DIAGNOSTICS; ENGINE WARNINGS IDLE STATE

SOFTWARE DIAGNOSTICS
ENGINE WARNINGS IDLE STATE: DC circuit breaker on, generator not running.
In the IDLE state, only Ambient Air Temperature Low and MAP Sensor Possible Fault are logged. If the fault persists after the
generator is started, the
CRANK state and RUN state warnings and shutdowns will apply. There are NO shutdowns in the IDLE
state, only warnings. Shutdowns can occur in both CRANK and
RUN states.
WARNING/DESCRIPTION PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE
Coolant Temperature Shorted Short circuit (0 Ohms) 1. Faulty temperature sensor.
2. Pinched or bare wire in harness.
