A Red Triangle ! on my EVC system display

Postby harlacarver » June 21st, 2017, 10:58 pm

The EVC system display is showing a Red Triangle and a !
I found this web site... http://www.iboats.com/Alarm-instrument/ ... _id.345197
and This link explains which alarm is sounding.
7 alarms:
1) Oil pressure
2) Water in fuel filter 1)
3) Battery
4) Coolant temperature
5) Coolant level 1)
6) Oil level 1)
7) Fault/serious fault

So the warning I am dealing with #6
Oil Level Sensors
and it appears to be on both engines.

has anyone experienced this?

It seems strange both engine sensors would go bad at the same time. Harness connection issue?

I would assume you have oil in the engines? Otherwise, maybe when the oil is drained for an oil change it needs a reset?
Just an idea.

Hi All,
Any update on this thread?
I know it's an older thread but figured I'd ask

I'm receiving an orange warning triangle on my display.
I have the 2 round "Idiot Light" displays and the "basic" EVC panel. There is no display.
When I follow the instructions to have the EVC panel blink out an error code nothing happens.
So,
Question #1
What/how would I find out what is going on?

Question#2
What would I get for an EVC display so I can visually see what is going on?

Thanks,
