821528T11 Mercury TOP COWL ASSEMBLY

If a fault occurs with the primary throttle with secondary throttle is installed, the secondary throttle will be used until the fault is repaired.If a fault occurs with the secondary throttle, the engine will use the primary throttle until the fault is repaired.If a functional throttle is not available, the following conditions will occur:
The engine will default to the limp home speed.
If the engine speed is higher than the limp home speed, the engine will decelerate to the limp home speed.
If the engine speed is lower than the limp home speed, the engine speed will remain at the current speed.
The engine will remain at this speed while the diagnostic code remains active.
All inputs from the faulty throttle are ignored by the ECM until the fault is repaired.
All inputs from the repaired throttle will be ignored by the ECM until the keyswitch has been cycled.The diagnostic codes above relate to an analog sensor. Use this procedure only if the analog sensor uses an output from a variable resistor.The sensor is most likely to be mounted on a throttle pedal. The sensor is attached directly to the throttle assembly. The sensor provides an output voltage to the ECM. The sensor output voltage will vary with the position of the throttle. Foot operated or hand operated throttle assemblies are available.The sensor receives +5 VDC power from the ECM. The sensor will produce a raw signal voltage that will alter between low idle and high idle. The voltage is changed into a throttle position within the range 0% to 100% by the ECM.The sensor senses the speed requirement from the throttle position. A second sensor may override this speed requirement from the first sensor. This override will be subject to an input from a secondary throttle or from the SAE J1939 (CAN) data link or from a PTO control.Use the electronic service tool in order to check the input status.Note: The identification letters for the terminals in the connectors may vary dependent on the manufacturer of the throttle pedal.Complete the procedure in the order in which the steps are listed.

Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Inspect Electrical Connectors and Wiring
A. Thoroughly inspect the terminal connections on the analog throttle position sensors and any interface connectors between the sensors and the ECM.
Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connector - Inspect".
B. Perform a 30 N (6.7 lb) pull test on each of the wires that are associated with the active diagnostic code in the analog throttle position sensor connectors and the interface connectors .
C. Check the harness for corrosion, abrasion, and pinch points from the analog throttle position sensors to the ECM.
Note: Do not disconnect the ECM connector at this stage. The ECM can only be disconnected and reconnected 10 times before damage to the harness connector may occur.
Loose connection or damaged wire
Result: There is a fault in a connector or the wiring.
Repair: Repair any faulty connectors or replace the wiring harness. Ensure that all the seals are properly in place and ensure that the connectors are correctly coupled.
