1.8L check engine alarm

[Tad Steinberg]

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on an alarm I am getting. Port engine alarmed after the first trip out this summer (late I know, don't ask) full tank of fuel from winterizing had Stabil, fogged motors etc. before leaving the house ran both engines on the hose. Washed down the bulge, ensuring the bilge pump worked.

Initial trip out ran around the lake for about 20 to 30 mins. Lower Rpm at first and after about 15 minutes went to WOT for a short stent everything was great no alarms. Pulled into the swim cove anchored for about 2 hours. Started both engines, idled out of the swim cove, once out of the no wake area throttled up. Went about 20 seconds and the Check Engine alarm sounded. Shut down the troubled engine immediately cycled through the engine diagnostics. Found no error code. Started and stopped the engine a few times. Checking oil levels, loose connections , water out of the pee holes (both good) no issues. Battery voltage is 12.9 after the outing. freshly charged before the outing.

Boat has approximately 90 hours on the engines. Still under warranty.

The troubled engine check engine diagnostic code says normal SPN 0

Out of curiosity I checked the non troubled engine diagnostic code and it says the same thing. Will likely go get the code/s read this week.

I hope it's water in the fuel or a sensor gone bad.

Does anyone know where I can get the YIDS2, such that I can read the codes myself?

Thanks for this, didn't see any Debris, but will Check again.

Might have cleared on its own. There are some reports of thermostat replacements being needed. I am one of the 242 owners that required this, but my boat is used in salt water exclusively and takes a corrosive beating even when not in the water (on a lift on shoreline) ... Good luck

@Tad Steinberg hopefully things are okay! I circled you with the 230 last weekend, was wondering if it was someone on the board. Once you said shutoff valve I knew you knew which end was up. Hopefully bad gas.

I can only hope bad gas. It was the first time out I the season.
I want to get the YIDS2 for future issues. Problem is I can't find one for sale.

@Tad Steinberg , there's a bunch here... http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...n.TRS0&_nkw=yamaha+diagnostic+system&_sacat=0
(I bought one and haven't had much luck getting it to play nice yet - going to try again this week end. I have heard that they don't like some of the newer computers apparently. Planning to dust off an old XP laptop to see what happens...)

Let me know how it goes. $119 an hour (minimum 1 hour) is pretty steep if I can do it myself. I'll check out your link and see what I can come up with.
As soon as I get word back from the dealer I'll post an update.

I found this on line and it makes sense that the 1.33 version software won't work on the 2012's and up.
YDS2 kits are Coming soon!!!
90890 06883

Dealer called and hooked up the computer and ran the codes. the code given was 203 (I think) which is an Oxygen Sensor code. Hopefully it is covered under warranty.

 

[Tad Steinberg]

The sensor is covered under the YES warranty. The service department hasn't seen this failure on any engine thus far... has anyone else had an O2 sensor go bad?

Because they don't go bad too often, there aren't many to be had from Yamaha. At first back ordered, now no longer back ordered but they can't find it.?.?.? We'll see what happens. I am told it will be done mid next week.

 

[Scottintexas]

I think this is one of the first Ox sensor we've heard of failing,
if it's not done by next week maybe they can steal one off of a boat in inventory, I doubt they would but it seems like a logical way to get you back on the water,

@Tad Steinberg did this get all sorted for you by the dealer? Sizzle marine?

Do you know what alum creek is doing with the old docks or have any details on the rebuild at the marina?

 

[Tad Steinberg]

All sorted, not the happiest with the service from the dealer.

I don't know what is happening with the old docks or the rebuild. I think Jerry Cupp had to back around some equipment working on the docks a few weeks ago. If I hear of anything I'll shout out. Please do the same.

 

[mark_m]

Tad,

Will do. I'm curious, as my brother in law had his dock float away.. down the ohio river to @Volffas in Cinti, downriver from Portsmouth. I'm looking out for some kind (somewhat) cost effective of replacement for him.

Thanks
