Base Map and should not be changed.

The dash alarms are not user-adjustable – they are pre-set in the dashboard.
The M400 provides relevant information (engine temperature, etc.) and the
dashboard raises alarms when required. For this reason all dash alarms will
operate identically to the stock ECU.

Power Control and Engine Start Strategy

The standard Sea-Doo 2010 models use an Ignition Lanyard with an
immobiliser function to power up the craft. A cumbersome start procedure is
required where the Start Button must be pressed before the Lanyard is
inserted, then a double-beep indicates that the Jet Ski will start.

The PWC Plug-In ECU solution does not have these requirements. Once the
Lanyard is inserted, the Start/Stop button will work at any time. No double
beep indication is given by the dash.

Power control follows a different strategy:

• Power is continuously applied to the ECU while the Lanyard is connected.

Tuning adjustments, log downloads, and ECU configuration file downloads
may all be performed without interruption.

• Power is removed from the ECU only by removing the Ignition Lanyard.

• There is no automated power-down function. The Lanyard

always be removed immediately after stopping the engine.

Connecting to a PC with MoTeC UTC cable

The Sea-Doo 2010 models use an STC-SX device which communicates with
the M400 Marine ECU via CAN at 500kBits/Sec. To connect the system to a
PC using a MoTeC UTC cable requires that the ECU Manager
has the CAN communications speed set to 500kBit/S:

Launch the ECU Manager program with the PWC powered off.

On the menu bar select Tools / Options.

Click on the Communication tab.

Click on the CAN data rate pulldown, select 500 kbit, and press

The main screen will now show ‘CAN data rate: 500k’ in the lower left
side.

Turn on the PWC and proceed.

Note – most MoTeC devices uses 1mBit/s as the default CAN speed,
whereas many OEM devices use 500kbit/s.
