Need Help-No throttle response

[Collarman]

2018 242x Eseries
Engines start up no problem. Starboard engine has no response to movements in the throttle.

My dealer sent me instructions to manually reset the forward reverse cable which I did but I have no response of any kind when moving the throttle.

Unfortunately I have a large weekend of outing planned and this will squash any guests,

This happened while I was in reverse. Went go forward and received the error message.

Is that a fly by wire set up? Mine is old so I am not familiar with yours.

All electronic nowadays

And more headaches! Sorry... I know nothing about those.

After my sencond try with the manual reset it worked. Not that difficult of a reset. Glad my dealer was able to send instructions at 6pm on a Saturday!

If you could post those "reset" instructions for future reference when you get a chance, we'd appreciate it!

Enclosed are the instructions for resettting the throttle. The problem occured when I was quickly switching from forward to reverse while parking. The result was a BCR Error and the Starboard throttle had no response at all.

Sounds like we could use an FAQ add from the @Administrative ...

Thanks for posting, but that seems to be a TSB to correct a factory shift cable swap - did that fix your problem?

Yes. It is a reset.
In step 5, if your cable functions with the manual control, (no cable install needed) It states to skip to step 11.

This worked to reset my throttle.
