Turn the key back to the On position without starting the motor. Notice that the four LEDs in the warning gauge -- Oil Level, Water Temperature, Check Engine and Oil Pressure -- will light briefly and go out, one at a time, then begin to flash the trouble codes. Step 2 Count the flashing of the Check Engine light to determine what trouble codes the engine is showing. Notice that more than one trouble code may flash: a short pause separates the digits of the two-digit code. A longer pause warns of the start of a different trouble code. Record each code as it flashes -- it will repeat itself three times. Step 3 Watch the flashing trouble codes a second time to verify the information you recorded. Compare the codes that flashed with the list of trouble codes to determine the beginning point of your search for a problem. Step 4 Ensure the connections to the sensors that provided the code are clean and tight before you take more extreme steps. Start with the simplest explanation, or fix, and work toward the complicated repair. Step 5 Connect a garden hose to your motor flushing attachment and connect the flushing attachment to the motors cooling water intakes. Allow the engine to run at idle; the LEDs will go out within three minutes, if all is in order. The check engine light is not only used as a warning, but it displays the trouble codes by short flashes of the check engine light. Evinrude Ficht Diagnostic Software Software For TheEvinrude produces diagnostic software for the 4-stroke FICHTEFI motor that can retrieve codes and other stored ECU operational data. The connector for the diagnostic computer is on the front-starboard side of the motor. The software package contains directions for using the software. The trouble codes are as follows: When the code 34, appears, that means the intake manifold pressure is improper with the engine running. The code 31 indicates an inoperative idle air control valve, 22 shows a loss of manifold pressure from a closed throttle plate, and 14 is a cylinder temperature warning. Trouble code 23 indicates an intake air temperature incident and 11 shows a fault in the voltage regulator or rectifier.
