Shift disengagement failure warning.

In case shifting into neutral has become impos-
sible during running.
• The buzzer should sound.
• Engine should be slowed.
• The outboard will not shift though the
remote control levers can be moved.
NOTE:
No visual warning is provided.
The following are possible causes of the shift-
ing failure.
• A wire disconnection in the power source
of the actuator or the reduction of the actu-
ator operating voltage.
• Failure of sensors on the actuator or in the
junction unit, or wire disconnection in
those components.
• Failure of actuator or its related compo-
nents.
NOTE:
• As long as the battery is able to energize
the outboard, it is able to power the shift
motor.
• Twin engine installation is equipped with a
specific shift disengagement failure warn-
ing system.
• At this time, the actuator operates to return
the shift to neutral and stop the shifting
motor automatically.
