    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

    WARNING!

    • When an engine is operating, keep the service area WELLVENTILATED or attach a building exhaust removal system tothe engine exhaust. Engines produce carbon monoxide, apoisonous gas which is odorless, causes slower reactiontime, and can lead to serious injury or death.

    � Fuel under pressure may escape and create a dangerouscondition if you are working with fuel lines. Make sure thereis adequate ventilation and there is no possibility of sparkspresent.

    � Batteries contain sulfuric acid and produce explosive gasesthat can result in serious injury or death. To prevent ignitionof gases, keep lighted cigarettes, sparks, flames, and otherignition sources away from the battery at all times. If you areusing the battery as a power source, connect the RED (+)battery clip to the positive battery terminal and connect theBLACK (–) battery clip to a good ground away from thebattery.

    � Wear an ANSI approved eye shield when testing or repairingengines. Objects can be propelled by rotating enginecomponents, and liquids escaping under pressure cancause serious injury.

    � Do not operate the boat and operate the DDT at the sametime. Any distractions may cause an accident. Have oneperson operate the DDT as another person operates theboat.

    OVERVIEWThe Quicksilver Digital Diagnostic Terminal (DDT) has been developedspecifically to help technicians diagnose and repair Mercury Marinetwo and four cycle engines.

    The SmartCraft Engine Diagnostics Cartridge contains a diagnosticprogram for the ECM that allows the technician access to all of thediagnostic capabilities available through the engine ElectronicControl Module (ECM).

    Simply hook the diagnostic cable to the ECM diagnostic connector andplug in the software cartridge. You will be able to monitor sensors andECM data values including status switches.

    The ECM program can help diagnose intermittent engine problems. Itwill record the state of the engine sensors and switches for a periodof time, much like a tape recorder would, then you can play back andreview the recorded information.

    RECORD/PLAYBACKPrintOnce data has been captured and saved to a file, the data may alsobe sent to the printer. Printing of files can be done without the DDTbeing connected to an ECM. This is done using a 12 volt powersupply and printing through the File Manager function.

    To print captured data from the File Manager Menu, select the PRINToption by pressing the 5 key. The Print File menu will appear.

    File Manager:3-DELETE4-RENAME5-PRINT

    Use the ↑ and ↓ keys to scroll through the list of files. When the desiredfile is to the right of the > symbol on line 2, press the ENTER key toselect it.

    >Print File>OG123456.DMO 584>MLA2001.DMO 1364>150EFIMD.DMO 1364

    The selected file will then be printed.

    NOTE: Files can also be transferred to a PC and printed from there.(See Personal Computer setup.)

    TRANSFERRING DATA TO A PCIt should be noted that the PRINT function can be used to transfer theformatted print data to a PC. The following example uses Windows3 , but any DEC VT-100 terminal emulation program can be used.

    NOTE: You can use the existing serial printer cable, however, youmay need to use a DB25 Null Modem adaptor plug and/or a DB25 toDB9 adaptor plug if required by your PC.

    1 Use OTC cable (p/n 212535) and connect between the DDTprinter port and the PC’s COM1 port (or an available serial port).

    2 Set up the Windows terminal emulation program on the PC tocapture the print data into a file as follows:

    a. Select the Accessories Icon.

    b. Select the Terminal Icon.

    c. From the menu bar, select Settings – Communications.Set the communications parameters as follows:

    Baud Rate: 9600 Data Bits: 8 Parity: None Stop Bits: 1 Flow control: Xon/Xoff Connector: COM1

    d. Select OK.

    3 Make sure the DDT baud rate matches the terminal baud rate. Thiscan be done from the Tool Setup Function. Select 1 – GeneralSetup and set the following :

    PRN BAUD to 9600 and PRN STOP BITS to 1.

    4 From the Windows terminal menu bar, select Transfers –Receive text file. You will then be asked to assign a filename.(File name you wish to upload from the cartridge. For example,OG123456.txt) Important – the file must have a “.txt” extension.Select OK when entered.

    TRANSFERRING DATA TO A PC5 To enter the DDT File Manager menu, Press F2 and then 9 and

    select choice 5 – Print. Use the ↑ and ↓ keys to scroll and selectthe file. Press ENTER. Data should now transfer to the PCscreen.

    NOTE: If the data transfer to the PC screen does not look correct, thisindicates that the baud rate is not correct. The cartridge default settingis 2400. Please make sure that the tool baud rate matches what youare setting up the PC software to do.

    6 Once all the data has been received, select Transfers – Stop ,from the Windows terminal menu bar. The data will be saved to thehard drive as OG123456.txt.

    7 Clear the terminal screen for the next file. Select Edit – ClearBuffer. Steps 4, 5, 6, and 7 can be repeated if you need to transfermore files.

    8 Once the file has been saved on the PC, it can be manipulatedin any desired manner. For example, you can;

    • Print to the PC’s printer.• Edit the file.• Include the file in a report. Most PC word processors and spread

    sheets can import a single text file into a document.

    (Refer to your word processor manual for instructions on printing,editing and importing files.)

    OVERVIEWTesting with the DDT is easy. The software program presents a seriesof menus from which the technician selects tests or functions desired.

    The software will communicate with the ECM and extract or monitordata stored or processed by the ECM. In general, the functionsprovided include; faults, events, data, data capture (recording) andfile management.

    You can perform many different functions, depending on the featuresthat are available within the ECM.

    a. Data Monitor – Display operating parameters that are beingreceived from the ECM.

    b. Fault Status – Display the current state of engine actuatorsor sensors.

    c. System Info – Display the internal ID of an ECM.

    d. History – Stored history within the ECM.

    e. Special Functions – Allows user to perform special testfunctions as allowed by the ECM.

    All of the menu functions available for the system selected will bedisplayed. If an up or down arrow is also displayed on the screen,press the ↑ or ↓ key to see the additional screens available.

    1-Mercury MarineLED OVERVIEW

    The SmartCraft systems diagnostic cartridge contains a diagnosticprogram for the ECM that allows the technician access to all of thediagnostic capabilities available through the engine ElectronicControl Module (ECM).

    Simply hook the diagnostic cable to the ECM diagnostic connectorand plug in the software cartridge. You will be able to see the currentstate of the engine, status of sensors and switches, run time historyand stored faults.

    The ECM program can help diagnose intermittent engine problems.It will record the state of the engine sensors and switches for aperiod of time, much like a tape recorder would. Then you canplayback and review the recorded information.

    The DDT also has LED failure indicators below the display. Theseindicators illuminate when a fault exists in the following areas:

    FREEZE FRAME

    Fault History has been divided into two categories, Freeze Frameand Fault Seconds. Fault Seconds will record, in seconds, thelength of time an engine critical system fault occurred. All otherfaults will be stored in a 10 buffer Freeze Frame. Freeze Frameallows the technician to actually view what operating conditions theengine was under at the time the fault occured.

    The freeze frame auto capture software within the ECM, will storean instantaneous snapshot of engine critical data that will give theservice technician more detailed information as to what the engineoperating conditions were like at the time a fault was logged. Thereare a total of 10 storage buffers to retain fault information. Thebuffers are labeled 0 - 9 (10 buffer total). Each buffer will store asingle fault. If frequent faults occur with the same component, ratherthan storing the same information in a new buffer, a frequencycounter will be incremented by one count and all the remaining dataitems will be updated at the time the fault reoccurred. If there are nofaults stored in freeze frame, the DDT will display the followingmessage: NO STORED FAULTS. As the freeze frame buffers arefilled, then the DDT menu choice will be updated accordingly.Example: if there are 3 buffers filled containing data, the DDT willdisplay choices 0 - 2 in the menu list.

Once the engine has reached it’s normaloperating temperature the running test will allow you to apply apositive or a negative offset to the base IAC setpoint. As youdecrease the offset with a negative value the engine RPM shoulddecrease. The engine idle control strategy may prevent you fromexceeding the allowable setpoints. For example a value of +60%may exhibit the same behavior as a value of +100% (no noticeablechange in RPM).

    The Select Test screen is displayed on the DDT. The ETC test canbe performed with the engine running or not. This test allows thetechnician to instruct the ECM to open or close the throttle valve(blade). If no engine rpm is selected the DDT is allowed to move thethrottle valve (blade) from closed to a full open postion. Testing withengine rpm the valve (blade) will not move the full range.

    Select Test:1-ENGINE RPM2-NO ENGINE RPM

    NOTE: If the electronic throttle control on the engine does respondto this test, then diagnose the wiring or sensors between the ECM orthe throttle control box at the helm. Refer to the electrical wiringdiagram in the service manual if needed.
