Check Engine and OTAS light on RXT-iS.......

[Corwin38]

I have a 2011 RXT-iS 260. Saturday I was hot-dogging on a calm river. I took the ski into some tight turns at about 20-30 mph where I was practically laying it on its side. I would then come out of the spin and jump the wake I made (yes, this baby catches air! ). When I came down off one of those jumps I noticed the OTAS warning and check engine lights were on. The engine still ran perfectly.

Okay.....said all that to ask this. Are the two lights related? What should I check first to resolve this?. I had the same thing happen right after I bought the jet ski and the dealer said it was a "loose connection" but never told me where. I will not be back home until the day before a three day weekend and I don't want to have to go to the dealer on my first day off.

Any ideas are welcome.

I've got a 2011 wake pro with the same problem...not even a hr on the clock and every turn/bump triggered a check engine light but road normal even lost all data on screen....Dealer told me the factory packed the main connector under the dash (big grey cam plug above fuel tank) with too much dielectric grease causing hydro lock causing the pins to loosen and drop contact.....solution blow with compressed air "the excess grease" out and plug back in and it fixed my problem

I had same prob 2nd day after purchasing my wake pro 215 with only 2hrs on clock got 100mtrs off shore in glassy water. Took it straight to dealer and found to be faulty sensor, which sit just under dash. They also checked magnets on steering column as these are prone to fall out as clip sometimes breaks. The lights are related as it tied in with iBR they say.

One possibility re that eng light. Laying the ski on it's side for extended periods of time while under throttle...having the eng light and warning beep come on...happened to me years ago. Seems the ride plate is outa the water enough to have trouble cooling everything. We cut out the tight turning and haven't had a prob since. Of course...we still do tight turns....just don't sit there and doing doughnuts? before coming out and jumping the plowed wake.

I currently have the same issue with my RXT is 260 2010. I came off a wave fairly hard in the surf and immediately the OTAS and engine light came on. I couldn't believe it as every time I have taken this ski out something goes wrong! I reckon it's a lemon but that's another story! I have called the dealer and he said it's most likely a sensor. They said they would fix it when they replace my seat under warranty due to the mould on it that can't be removed. Oh and they will replace the trailer lights for the second time too!

Try unplugging the trailer before running the lights into the water...then let them drain before reconnecting.
