Similar to this closed thread shown below, my wife's 2002 GTX flashed a CHK ENG message and then the red warning light came on
and one beep. The message and warning light stayed on but no limp mode and one more beep about 5 min later as she was
waiting to load onto the trailer. I checked the oil level and it appears (man those dip sticks are hard to read with clean oil)
that the oil level is at about 1/3 of the way in the "ideal level zone". I try and keep it at half so I will add a slight bit.
Also she was not doing much to throw the oil around and possibly trigger a low oil issue which AFAIK throws a different error.
When we got home I put the Candoo on and got three "occurred" but not active codes:
P1202 - Oil tank pressure switch implausible or blow-by valve still closed
P1681 - Communication problem - instrument cluster message missing
P1682 - Communication problem - EMS message missing
No message appeared at startup in the driveway and after I cleared the codes, none reoccurred nor did CHK ENG show again.
In this closed thread http://www.seadooforum.com/showthread.php?68942-2002-GTX-4-TEC-CHK-ENG-light most were attributing it to the oil sensors
(myself included...:facepalm
but MKOV608 attributed his to the instrument cluster being corroded. I did notice her cluster was fogged up yesterday (1st time I
seen that).
Given the P1681 and P1682, should this point me towards a corrosion issue or should I just assume it's the usual oil sensor and replace them?
What say y'all?
