3-44 FUEL SYSTEM (DFI)

Vehicle-down Sensor (Service Code/Character-31/dOS)

This sensor has a weight [A] with two magnets inside, and

sends a signal to the ECU. But when the watercraft banks
110

130° or more to either side (in fact falls down), the

weight turns and shuts off the signal. The ECU senses this
change, and stops the fuel pump, the fuel injectors, and the
ignition system.
