2016 Pro XS 250 2 stroke, System Fault 26
Was idling out and my alarm started going off.
6 intermediate beeps
Smartcraft gauge info showed System Fault 26.
Hit info button,,, <Air Injector>,,, Direct Injector not working properly,,, Non-Critical - Service Engine Soon.
Has the motor in limp mode.
Brought it to a local Merc mechanic shop and hooked it to the computer. Scan showed no faults. Mechanic thinks it might be the Smartcraft gauge.
Motor idles and sounds fine but is still in limp mode.
Any ideas what it could be?
No sir, message is created and sent from PCM, was mess, preceded with 1-6 , indicating which cylinder.Originally Posted by Nutoy
High probabilty of a a poor connection on the injector in question, could very well be an intermittiant short in injector windings causing low or high resistance. I consider 1.1 ohms a failed DI injector, 1.0 ohms will cause code to set

Thank You Leon Pugh
No sir. No 1-6
I talked to another mechanic and he said the same. Possible a poor injector connection.
He recommended I unplug and replug all my injector connections.
Did that.
Now my Smartcraft gauge is say, Lost Engine Com.

Perhaps you unplugged something other than just Direct Injectors?
OR... shorted a wire and blew a fuse....

I have looked and looked again and can't find anything unplugged.
It's possible I blew a fuse, but all the fuses I've checked are good.
Check the fuses in the holder at the bottom of the PCM. Note the LOW amperage (usually 2 or 5 amp) fuse... test it for continuity.

Update...
Ended up being a bad connection in the boat wiring harness.

Motor harness, I see. Nothing in boat harness that would set an injector fault!
Thank You Leon Pugh
That wasn't the problem for the boat harness... see Post# 3 (lost engine communication on Can-P).
