   03 gtx di - new to me keeps beeping

   Hello,

   i just recently purchased my first ever PWC, i put the DESS key in and every few seconds it beeps a 3-4 times, and it doesn't stop. the machine starts fine and there are no messages. Is this normal? is it suppose to do this?

   thanks

   I belive on those models same as the 4-tec ones those beeps are to remind you that the key is put on the dess so if you stop the engine and let it on it will remind you.

   On the other half check your oil / fuel level.

   just my .02

   Yes perfectly normal. The DI models use a lot of battery power to run all the accessories and this is a warning. more of a nuisance than anything else but it works because I cant handle it more than 2-3 times.

   According to this it will stop after 2 hours. Hopefully you remove the DESS key from the post sooner.

   Section 07 ENGINE MANAGEMENT (DI)
   Subsection 03 (DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES)
   DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
   GENERAL
   Here is the basic order suggested to diagnose a suspected fuel injection related problem:
   � Check the chart in TROUBLESHOOTING section to have an overview of problems and suggested solutions.
   � Check if there is a MAINT signal reported by the vehicle information center. If so, use the VCK (Vehicle
   Communication Kit) and look for fault codes to diagnose the trouble.
   � Check all fuses.
   � Check air/fuel rail pressure.
   � Check spark plugs condition.
   � Check if the RAVE valves are stuck.
   � Check fuel pump pressure.
   � Check air compressor pressure.
   Self-Diagnostic Mode
   It is self-activated when the safety lanyard cap is being installed on the watercraft post. It gives immediate
   monitoring. Refer to the following chart.
   SIGNAL CAUSE REMEDY
   � Safety lanyard is recognized by the
   MPEM.
   2 short beeps (when � Engine can be started normally.
   installing safety lanyard
   on watercraft post).
   � Good contact between safety lanyard
   cap and DESS post.
   � Bad connection between safety
   lanyard cap.
   � Remove and replace the safety lanyard on
   the post until 2 short beeps are heard to
   indicate the system is ready to allow engine
   starting.
   � Unprogrammed or defective safety
   lanyard.
   � Use the safety lanyard that has been
   programmed for the watercraft. If it does
   not work, check safety lanyard condition
   with the programmer. Replace safety
   lanyard if reported defective.
   � Dried salt water or dirt in safety
   lanyard cap.
   � Clean safety lanyard cap to remove dried
   salt water or dirt.
   1 long beep (when
   installing safety lanyard
   on watercraft post
   or when pressing
   start/stop button).
   � Improper operation of MPEM or
   defective wiring harness.
   � Refer to ENGINE MANAGEMENT.
   1 second beep every
   second intervals.
   � Drowned mode is active. � Release throttle to cancel this mode.
   4 short beeps every 3
   seconds interval for 2
   hours.
   � Safety lanyard has been left on its
   post without starting engine or after
   engine was stopped.
   � To prevent battery discharge, remove the
   safety lanyard from its post.

   4 short beeps every 3 seconds interval for 2 hours.
   • Safety lanyard has been left on its post without starting engine or after engine was stopped.
   • To prevent battery discharge, remove the safety lanyard from its post.

   • Drowned mode is active. • Release throttle to cancel this mode.

   Well what does that mean?? Is that to get help from passers by so you dont drown.. Or that you drowned and did not let go of the throttle..

   Or that the throttle is wide open, thus clearing a drowned engine..

   Found it - Drown Mode is activated by holding the throttle wide open and cranking the motor over - while in drown mode the engine will crank by not start..
