2016 df25a

Finally was able to get motor to run smooth. But high temp light and oil warning light are always on but motor runs great anyone know if this can be cleared at the dealer or if it is a common problem with this motor. Like I said the motor runs great at all RPM's. Already tried to clear it myself with kill switch as owners manual stated but lights still on.

You don't have an SMIS guage attached, do you? My 2015 DF25ARS seems to light the temp & oil pressure lights for no reason... I DO have a 4" SMIS gauge, which will display warning/error messages from the engine (like "Temp" and "Rev Limit"). But I often notice that the LEDs appear to be lit, though no error appears on the gauge. I've never been quite sure if what I'm seeing is a reflection of sunlight in the LED, or whether the engine electronics are inadvertently lighting the LEDs. But given that my engine is running fine, and not displaying messages on the gauge, and that I HAVE seen messages on the gauge at times where there ARE problems with the engine... I've decided to ignore the LEDs and trust the gauge.

You know the LEDs will blink when it's time for an oil change. (IMHO this is not a very obvious indicator.) But I assume yours are not blinking, right?

How did you get your engine to run fine? Last you reported, it wouldn't maintain high speed, right? Just curious.

How do I get a SMIS Gauge and yes during the day the warning lights don't appear to be on but at night you can see them lit. Like I said the motor runs great now. I replaced the High pressure fuel pump and the high pressure fuel filter and that did the trick.

It sounds like you have a poor or faulty connection, or corrosion in your gauge wiring somewhere, to have just a faint low level of light on, especially if they are simply glowing constantly.

Faults are indicated by the lights flashing in a repeated sequence.

I would double check the wiring to the gauge behind the dash to make sure it is all good and connected corrcetly. And that harness connections back to the engine are also good. By check, I mean disconnect each connection, inspect the wires in and out of them to make sure no wires are broken or signs of corrosion, then clean and reconnect. Inspect the wires themselves to make sure they are good and no corrosion, if you have a multimeter use it.

If the lights are genuine fault codes (which seems doubtful) then they will disappear if and when the relevant faults are fixed. They dont need to be reset.

Good point however I do not have any gauge its a micro skiff so its pretty simple but you bring up a good point I will check wiring harness from ignition to motor maybe have bad connection. Thanks

did you happen to find your answer or get the problem fixed? I have the same issue with a new df30. All 3 lights are on constantly. No warning beeps, no flashing and no engine problems while running. They are slightly less bright than when the motor does the test sound and lights though. It happened on a rough day so maybe some wires just got shaken up a bit? I doubt want to waste any precious summer days with the boat on the trailer at the local shop though...
