EJU31370Yamaha Engine Management System
(YEMS)
This model is equipped with an integrated,
computerized management system that con-
trols and adjusts ignition timing, fuel injection,
engine diagnostics, and the off-throttle steer-
ing (OTS) system.

security system is in the lock mode. The en-
gine can only be started in the unlock mode.
This watercraft is equipped with a remote con-
trol transmitter that is used to select the lock
and unlock modes of the security system.
Since the watercraft is programmed to recog-
nize the internal code from this transmitter
only, the security system mode can only be
changed with this transmitter.
If you lose the remote control transmitter or it
does not operate properly, contact a Yamaha
dealer.

CAUTION:
ECJ00941
Do not run the engine for more than 15
seconds without supplying water or over
6000 r/min on land when checking the op-
eration of the multifunction information
center, otherwise the engine could over-
heat.
NOTE:

When the multifunction information center
starts operating, the analog speedome-
ter/tachometer makes one sweep, all dis-
plays light up for 2 seconds, and then it
starts to operate normally.

The multifunction information center will
continue to operate for 25 seconds after the
engine stops.

The fuel level meter has eight segments
which show the amount of fuel remaining in
the fuel tank.
NOTE:
The fuel level is most accurate when the wa-
tercraft is sitting level on a trailer or in the wa-
ter.
EJU35060Hour meter/voltmeter
NOTE:
To switch the display between the hour meter
and the voltmeter, push the “Volt/Hour” button
for at least 1 second after the meter is dis-
played for more than 10 seconds.
Hour meter
The hour meter is provided to make it easy to
follow the maintenance schedule.The meter shows the hours of engine opera-
tion that have elapsed since the watercraft
was new.
Voltmeter
The voltmeter is provided to display the volt-
age of the battery.
When the battery voltage is normal, the volt-
meter displays approximately 12 volts.
If the battery voltage is less than 8.0 volts,
“LO” is displayed on the voltmeter and if the
voltage is above 18.1 volts, “HI” is displayed
on the voltmeter. If “HI” or “LO” is displayed,
return to shore and, if necessary, have a
Yamaha dealer check the charging system
and the battery.
EJU35072Fuel level warning indicator
If the fuel remaining in the fuel tank drops to
about 13 L (3.4 US gal, 2.9 Imp gal), the low-
est two fuel level segments, the fuel level
warning indicator, and the “WARNING” indi-
cator light begin to blink. The buzzer also
starts sounding intermittently.
If this occurs, refill the fuel tank as soon as
possible.
The warning signals will be cleared when the
engine is restarted after the fuel tank is re-
filled.
NOTE:
Press any button on the multifunction informa-
tion center to stop the buzzer.

EJU35122Oil pressure warning indicator
If the oil pressure does not rise to specifica-
tion, the “WARNING” indicator light and the oil
pressure warning indicator begin to blink, and
the buzzer sounds intermittently. At the same
time, the engine speed is limited to help pre-
vent damage.
If this occurs, reduce the engine speed, return
to shore, and then check the engine oil level.
(See page 53 for engine oil level checking
procedures.) If the oil level is low, add enough
engine oil to raise it to the proper level. If the
oil level is sufficient, have a Yamaha dealer
check the watercraft.
NOTE:
Press any button on the multifunction informa-
tion center to stop the buzzer.
EJU36401Engine overheat warning indicator
This model is equipped with an engine over-
heat warning system.
If the engine starts to overheat, the engine
overheat warning system will be activated
and, in some cases, the warning system will
cut the ignition to the engine.
If the “WARNING” indicator light and the en-
gine overheat warning indicator begin to blink,
and the buzzer sounds intermittently, immedi-ately reduce the engine speed and return to
shore.
If the “WARNING” indicator light and the en-
gine overheat warning indicator come on, and
the buzzer sounds continuously, the warning
system will cut the ignition. The engine cannot
be started until it cools down, so it may be
necessary to have the watercraft towed back
to the shore. (See “Towing the watercraft” on
page 97 for towing procedures.)
After the engine cools down, start the engine,
and then check for water discharge at the port
(left) cooling water pilot outlet while the engine
is running. If there is no discharge of water,
shut the engine off, and then check the intake
grate and impeller for clogging.
WARNING
EWJ00050
Before attempting to remove weeds or de-
bris from the intake grate or impeller, shut
the engine off and remove the clip from the
