Installed the Vesselview Mobile APP and device - question on fault codes...

[trdehmer]

I installed the Vesselview Mobile device on my 2003 280 Sundancer which has a single 496MAG S/N 0M376155. After the install and starting the boat I immediately have 5 fault codes. How do I determine if they are an issue and even applicable to my engine? Idles around 670-700RPM (is that normal, or low?).

-Code 451-25 Pilot Pressure (The input circuit for the sensor is below the valid limit)
-Code 701-24 Level sensor tank A (The input circuit for the sensor is below the valid limit)
-Code 1031-24 Steering Position (The input circuit for the sensor is below the valid limit)
-Code 1012-25 Engine or drive trim position (The input circuit for the sensor is below the valid limit)
-Code 702-24 Level sensor tank B (The input circuit for the sensor is below the valid limit)

Thanks in advance!

670 is what my 8.1s idle at.

I've got the vessel view mobile on my boat as well. I've got some of those same faults on my boat, I think they come up anyway if your boat doesn't have certain things. The steering and trim ones I don't have though, and those might be worth looking into.

The reason I ask if they'd even be applicable to my engine is due to the last bullet point in the photo below...

Just got the below from Mercruiser - they have always been pretty quick to respond - nice job Merc!

"All the faults you mention below are for optional sensors, some are not installed on most boats. Basically the engine is looking for sensors that are not installed and don't need to be there. You can ignore or silence these faults within the vesselview mobile app. Dealers have service manuals and software that lists faults for the engine. The idle RPM for your engine seems normal. If you have some of these sensors installed, for example a smartcraft style fuel tank sender, have a dealer diagnose the sender and circuit for problems. Glad to hear you are enjoying the app.
Thanks,

I just did this exact same thing on my 260 and have the exact same fault codes, searched and found this thread. Thanks for the info!
