2015 SeaRay 240 Sundeck Mercury Verado Outboard 250 Pro SmartCraft Fault Message

[BopTop]

When ignition is turned on getting 6 "beeps" followed by SmartCraft fault message "APP SELF TEST SOFTWARE REV PGF460 B BUILD 1223" then followed by "Miscellaneous Error !". Engine will start but is in limp mode. Can't find any information on this. Need help. Thanks!

6 beeps usually is a bad sensor or sensor value out of range (high or low). What does oil pressure, water pressure, engine temp, voltage, etc all read?

It's a generic fault that a sensor is not happy. Are all gauges reading properly?

Double check that your battery is fully charged and healthy (load test). Then scan it with a Merc computer to find the system that is complaining and troubleshoot from there. I've never used it, but maybe if you buy the VesselView Mobile and plug it in, maybe it will give you more detailed info.

All gauges are working. Both batteries were fully charged so I did a load test and discovered #1 good and #2 bad. (Before I was starting the engine with batteries on the "Both" setting). Going to replace both to be safe and hopefully that corrects the fault code and limp mode problem. Thanks for your advise.

Replaced the bad battery but the problem still remains. Guess it's back to the drawing board.
