Troubleshooting without a Computer Diagnostic System (CDS)


Troubleshooting without the computer diagnostic system (CDS) is limited to checking resistance on some of the sensors.
Typical failures usually do not involve the PCM. Connectors, set‑up, or mechanical wear are most likely at fault.
• Verify the ignition coils are securely installed (pushed in) into the spark plugs.
• The engine may not run or may not run above idle with the wrong spark plugs installed.
• Swap ignition coils to see if the problem follows the coil or stays with the particular cylinder.
IMPORTANT: Disconnecting a sensor while the engine is running may result in a fault recording in the PCM Fault History. Use
the CDS to view the PCM fault history when troubleshooting/repair is completed.
• If all cylinders exhibit similar symptoms, the problem is with a sensor or harness input to the PCM.
• If problem is speed related or intermittent, it is probably connector or contact related. Inspect connectors for corrosion, loose
wires, or pins pushed back into the connector. Verify the connectors are properly seated.
• Inspect the harness for damage: pinched or cut wires and chafing.
• Secure the grounds and all connections involving ring terminals. Apply Liquid Neoprene to all ring terminal connections.

Tube Ref No. Description Where Used Part No.


25 Liquid Neoprene All ring terminal connections 92- 25711 3

• Inspect the fuel pump harness connector for corrosion, loose wires, or pins pushed back into connector.
• Check the fuel pump pressure.

Troubleshooting with the Computer Diagnostic System (CDS)


The computer diagnostic system (CDS) is designed to help technicians diagnose and repair Mercury Marine 2 and 4 cycle engines.
Attach the diagnostic cable to the PCM diagnostic connector. This will enable the technician to monitor sensors, PCM data values,
and the real time status of the switches. Use the 3 m (10 ft.) extension cable between the CDS diagnostic connector and the PCM
adapter to monitor the engine system while at the helm.

The PCM program can help diagnose intermittent engine problems. It will record the state of the engine sensors and switches for
a period of time, and then can be played back to review the recorded information.
Refer to the computer diagnostic system reference manual for complete diagnostic procedures.

Flywheel Cover
The flywheel cover provides basic protection against accidental contact with the flywheel, flywheel fan, starter motor pinion gear,
and alternator/supercharger drive belt while the engine is running.

a - Flywheel cover

38854
The flywheel cover acts as an air shroud that seals tightly into the air intake scoop built into the top cowl. The design of the top
cowl, in conjunction with the flywheel cover, promotes air flow around the engine compartment. The flywheel fan also causes the
engine cowling to become slightly pressurized, lessening moisture from entering the cowl.

Ignition
Removal of the flywheel cover provides access to the flywheel fan, flywheel, alternator/supercharger drive belt, starter motor pinion
gear, cylinder block water temperature sensor, crankshaft position sensor, oil pressure sensor, and oil temperature sensor.
The flywheel cover is secured to the engine by four rubber grommets pressed over four locating pins on the cylinder block. To
remove the cover, lift the cover off of the locating pins. To install the cover, align the flywheel cover grommets with the locating
pins and push down until the cover seats against the locating pins.

Flywheel
The flywheel is weighted and balanced to improve engine running characteristics. The flywheel is secured to the crankshaft by a
bolt (M20 x 68) (30 mm socket) and washer. The flywheel has two ring gears. The top ring gear is used with the starter motor to
start the engine. The lower ring gear has 54 teeth with six teeth missing at specific locations. As the lower ring gear passes the
crankshaft position sensor, an electrical pulse is generated and sent to the propulsion control module (PCM). The frequency of
these pulses in conjunction with the missing tooth locations on the ring gear provides crankshaft location information to the PCM.
The PCM will use this information to regulate ignition and fuel injector timing.

Flywheel Removal
The flywheel has three threaded holes which are used with the flywheel puller/lifting ring to remove the flywheel. These three holes
are also used with the flywheel puller/lifting ring to lift the engine for removal or installation.
IMPORTANT: When lifting the 350 Verado SCi or removing the flywheel, it is recomended that the Mercury Racing flywheel puller/
lifting ring tool be used. If the Mercury Racing flywheel puller/lifting ring tool is not available, the flywheel fan must be removed
from the flywheel or damage to the engine or flywheel fan will occur if the standard flywheel puller/lifting ring tool (91‑895343T02)
is used.

Propulsion Control Module (PCM)


The propulsion control module requires 8 VDC minimum to operate. If the PCM should fail, the engine will stop running.

90-8M8023781 DECEMBER 2009 Page 2A-17


Ignition
The inputs to the PCM can be monitored and tested with the computer diagnostic system (CDS).

a - Propulsion control module (PCM)

41450

Computer Diagnostic System (CDS) Order through SPX

The PCM controls the following functions:


• Electronic shift control
• Electronic throttle control
• Electronic boost control
• Main power relay
• Fuel injectors
• Ignition coils
• Power steering
• Vent canister purge valve
• Trim up
• Trim down
• Start relay
• Lift fuel pump
• Diagnostics
• Engine Guardian
• Tachometer link (analog tachometer output or link gauge driver)
The PCM operates in four modes; power off, stall, crank, and run. A warm‑up mode is integrated with the run mode and disengaged
after the engine is within operating temperatures.
Power off mode ‑ With the key switch "OFF," the main power relay will remain powered up for 15 minutes and then the PCM will
power off. A constant 12 VDC power is available at the starter battery terminal, fuses, positive cable terminal in the electrical box,
and at the alternator.
Stall mode ‑ With the key switch in the "RUN" position, the PCM is energized. The PCM powers the main power relay, the fuel
pump relay for five seconds, and provides 5 VDC power to the sensors. The PCM records barometric pressure from the MAP
sensor, air temperature from the manifold air temperature (MAT) sensor, and coolant temperature from the coolant temperature
sensors. The PCM will use this information to establish a warm‑up strategy that will control fuel delivery and engine speed during
warm‑up and idle.
Crank mode ‑ When the key switch is turned to the "START" position, or a Smart Start button is activated, the starter relay and
the starter solenoid will be energized and battery power will turn the starter motor. With the engine rotating, a pulse will be generated
at the crankshaft position sensor which provides the PCM engine speed information. The PCM will then supply power to the fuel
pump and ignition coils through the main power relay and the fuel pump relay.
Run mode ‑ At approximately 500 RPM, the PCM will transition to the run mode.
• The warm‑up strategy will continue to adjust engine speed with the fuel injector pulse width and engine spark advance until
the engine reaches a normal operating temperature.
• The camshaft position sensor provides cylinder compression phasing information to the PCM for sequential fuel injection.
• The manifold air temperature (MAT), throttle position sensor (TPS), and manifold absolute pressure (MAP) are monitored to
determine spark timing, boost control, and the fuel needs necessary to develop the amount of power asked for by the operator.

Ignition Pencil Coil


The engine ignition system utilizes six ignition coils, one for each cylinder. The ignition coils are inductive type coils with each coil
having its own integrated driver. Battery voltage is present at each coil (red/yellow lead) whenever the main power relay is activated.
Each coil is triggered by a 5 VDC digital pulse from the PCM. Each ignition coil is capable of producing a 40,000 volt spark.

Ignition

! WARNING
High voltage is present any time the key is turned on, especially when starting or operating the engine. Do not touch ignition
components or metal test probes and stay clear of spark plug leads when performing live tests.

Condition: With the key switch in the "RUN" position and the engine "OFF," power (battery voltage) is only available (red/yellow
lead) for three seconds when no crankshaft position sensor signal is being received by the PCM.
1. Disconnect the connector from the coil being tested.
2. Perform a visual inspection of the pins at the coil and the wires coming to the connector. Look for broken, bent, and corroded
pins at the coil and loose, broken, or corroded wires at the connector.
NOTE: Shake or move the harness and connector when performing the following tests. If the voltmeter readings vary during
the tests, inspect for a broken, loose, or corroded wire. Repair the problem wire and retest the circuit as follows.
3. Connect a voltmeter across the red/yellow and the black wires at the connector.
NOTE: The main power relay must be on for 12 VDC (battery voltage) to be present at the red/yellow wire. If voltage is not
present, the main power relay may be defective or the 20 amp fuse in the fuse holder is blown.
4. The voltmeter must read 12 VDC (battery voltage). If not, connect the voltmeter across the red/yellow wire and the engine
ground. If the voltmeter indicates 12 VDC (battery voltage), there is an open in the ground circuit.
NOTE: All coil ground wires are spliced together and connected to a common engine ground. The most likely failure would
be at the connector or in between the connector and the engine ground.

5. If the voltmeter does not indicate 12 VDC (battery voltage), there is an open circuit between the splice point and the connector
(red/yellow lead).
NOTE: All 12 VDC power wires for the coils are spliced together. Unless all the coils have failed, the most likely failure would
be at the splice point, the connector, or in between the connector and the splice point.
6. Check the input wire (5 VDC) for continuity between the connector and the PCM. Repair if needed.
7. Remove the coil and install a spark tester between the high voltage tower and ground to see if there is a strong blue spark.
If the spark is weak or is not blue in color, replace the coil and retest.

Ignition Coil Ohm Test


NOTE: Perform the coil ohm tests using a DMT 2004 or equivalent ohmmeter.

Crankshaft Position Sensor (CPS)


The CPS is located at the top of the cylinder block, next to the flywheel. The sensor contains a magnet which is positioned next
to the flywheel's lower ring gear. This ring gear has 54 teeth with six gaps (or missing teeth) at specific locations. The close
proximity of the CPS magnet to the 54 teeth allows a magnetic field to be created each time a tooth passes the sensor. This field
collapses and creates an AC voltage pulse. This AC pulse is sent to the PCM. The timing and frequency of these pulses allows
the PCM to regulate ignition and fuel injector timing. If the CPS fails, the engine will run rough or stop running.

Crankshaft Position Sensor Test


NOTE: It is recommended that the flywheel cover and flywheel be removed to gain access to the CPS.
1. Perform a visual inspection of the sensor. The tip of the sensor must be flush across the end; if not, replace the sensor.
2. The tip of the sensor must be clean. There should be no metal debris (ring gear filings) attached to the sensor tip.
NOTE: There is a magnet mounted in the sensor's tip. If the magnet is missing, the sensor will not operate properly.
3. Inspect the flywheel timing wheel for:
• Excessive corrosion
• Square edges on the teeth
• One missing tooth on either side of the two tooth, three tooth, or four tooth groups
4. Replace the flywheel if it does not meet inspection requirements.
5. Perform a visual inspection of the pins at the sensor and the wires coming from the connector. Look for broken, bent, or
corroded pins at the sensor and loose, broken, or corroded wires at the connector.
6. Disconnect the connector from the sensor. Measure the resistance across the sensor pins. Replace the sensor if out of
specification.

Camshaft Position Sensor


The camshaft position sensor is located at the top of the valve cover. It supplies the PCM with timing and RPM information. When
the camshaft position sensor is functioning, the PCM controls the fuel injection in a sequential, multi‑port timing strategy. When
the camshaft position sensor has failed, the PCM controls the fuel injection in a batch fire strategy. The engine may not start as
quickly and the Guardian System will limit power to 75%. The PCM will generate and store a failure code when the camshaft
position sensor fails.
A sequential firing strategy means that the fuel injectors fire once per engine cycle (every two crankshaft revolutions). The fuel
injection event is complete just before the intake valve closes and the coils fire only once per engine cycle. Sequential is ideal for
emissions, driveability transients, and slight horsepower advantages.
Batch fire strategy means that the fuel injectors fire every revolution (1/2 the fuel needed per revolution/per cycle) and the coils
also fire every revolution (wasted spark). This strategy does not consider the phase of the engine; i.e. whether a particular cylinder
is on a compression or exhaust stroke. Batch fire engines do not require a camshaft position sensor and are less expensive to
build.

Camshaft Position Sensor Test


The camshaft position sensor output to the PCM will change from +5 volts to 0 volts each time the number 1 or number 6 cylinder
reaches top dead center. This voltage change can be monitored by the computer diagnostic system (CDS). If the voltage change
is not occurring, shake or move the harness by hand. If the voltage readings vary, look for a broken, loose, or corroded wire.
1. Disconnect the connector from the sensor.
2. Perform a visual inspection of the pins at the sensor and the wires coming from the connector. Look for broken, bent, or
corroded pins at the sensor and loose, broken, or corroded wires at the connector.
3. If the wiring appears serviceable, perform an ohmmeter check on the sensor. The normal resistance for the cam sensor at
21 °C (70 °F):
• Between pins A and B is 23.2 MΩ

Cylinder Block Temperature Sensor


The cylinder block temperature sensor is located at the top of the cylinder block, aft of the flywheel. It is a thermistor immersed in
the engine coolant path. It supplies the PCM with engine temperature information. The PCM adjusts the timing and the amount
of fuel delivered according to the water temperature in the cylinder block. Low coolant temperature produces high resistance. High
coolant temperature causes low resistance. The normal resistance value for the sensor at 21 °C (70 °F) is 12.5 kΩ.

Cylinder Block Temperature Sensor Test


The computer diagnostic system (CDS) will determine the proper functioning of the cylinder block temperature sensor by providing
a numerical readout of the block temperature before and after the engine is started. With the engine not running, the cylinder block
temperature should be approximately the same as the ambient air temperature. After the engine is started, the temperature sensor
should indicate a rise in cylinder block temperature to approximately 60–70 °C (140–158 °F). Outside air temperature and the
temperature of the water that the engine is operating in will directly affect the engine cylinder block temperature.
1. With the engine running and the CDS connected to the engine, if the cylinder block temperature sensor does not appear to
be indicating a temperature change, shake or move the sensor harness and connector. If the temperature begins to change,
look for a broken, loose, or corroded wire.

Supercharger Outlet Temperature Sensor


The supercharger outlet temperature sensor is a thermistor immersed in the boost pressure outlet stream. It is located in the front
of the engine, at the base of the outlet duct. Low air temperature produces high resistance. High air temperature causes low
resistance. The PCM will reduce engine RPM and warn the helm of the high temperature.

Supercharger Outlet Temperature Sensor Test


The computer diagnostic system (CDS) will determine the proper functioning of the supercharger outlet temperature sensor by
providing a numerical readout of the sensor temperature before and after the engine is started. With the engine not running, the
sensor temperature should be approximately the same as the ambient air temperature. After the engine is started, the temperature
sensor should indicate a rise in temperature.
