Hi,
I have a 2005 Seadoo 4tec GTX that i bought used. Shortly after i bought it, i started getting the loud beep and the 'low fuel' warning even on a full tank.
After researching, i found the code 0461 which indeed says it is a fuel sensor issue. I removed the fuel baffle and stuck an ohm meter on and the reading for a full and empty tank were right on. Also moving the arm up and down varied the resistance reading like it was supposed to. I then found the MPEM pins and measured the resistance to the MPEM and again, correct readings. So, i have concluded that the fuel sensor is ok up until them MPEM. The problem is i am not sure how to trace it after that. I believe the signal goes to the ECM, but from the wiring diagram, its not obvious what the path is. I would like to measure the resistance at the ECM pins, but not sure which ones.
Can someone walk me through the next steps of debug?
Just a couple of things i noticed:
1) The problem comes and goes. While riding, the sensor will come on and then hit a few waves and then it goes away. (like something is loose) And then will come back on.
2) I can ride a full day and it wont beep or give a sensor issue. On a different day it constantly beeps at me.
3) When the sensor does "work" and i get no error or red sensor light, the lcd reads a full tank (maximum bars) for the fuel gauge. (This is not correct as even on half a tank it shows full)
4) Everything else seems to work just fine and no other codes show up.
Any suggestions?
Thx for the help
