Volvo Penta TAMD74P-A Fault Code 3.3

Postby golgi » April 6th, 2019, 9:36 pm

Hi all... Prepping the boat for launch after a long layup. Port motor turned over great. Starboard gives me a 3.3 fault. Can't clear it. The motor gives a clunk when I try to crank it but that's it. Thoughts? Anyone know what a 3.3 is? It's not in the manual. Thanks in advance

Can't help with the 3.3 fault....but considering a long layup, how are the batteries, all battery terminals clean and tight.....grounds all ok.
The above is strictly my opinion always based on years of doing...remember to support local business , it pays back.

Can you turn the engine over by hand with a wrench or socket?

False alarm. Traced the the entire loom and found the coolant temp sender was not connected. It does appear I need to wire in a new connector (broken retainer clip) but all is good otherwise. Thanks for the quick responses!!

So does the engine turn over and run now ? Maybe you know but if not there is a site called boat diesel that a lot of diesel guys recommend.
