Yamaha Diagnostic System (YDS)...how to read your hours and errors

[kleva82]

Hi!
I try to connect YDS cable with 1.33 version software to my 2008 Yamaha engine. The connection with ECU is established and I can see something. But the menu items where I can read hours are unavailable. Why that can be?

On most of these boats you have to unplug the tachs, did you do that, not sure if thats the issue though

Not sure you have the correct YDS... Mine from 7 years ago has a jetski, I believe, in the upper left corner, yours has an outboard motor. Other than that, not sure of the difference. I know my Yamaha outboards have remote hour meters. And don't store this information. Engine hours may not be part of outboard YDS data collected.

I try to connect to Outboard motor, that's true! Unfortunately I do not have any remote meter installed.
