MSX 110/150 - insert lanyard... system power up?

[ripcuda]

Hey fellow MSX 110/150 owners. Got a question for you.

When you insert the lanyard under the stop button on the start/stop switch... does your system power up? Does your dash display (MFD... aka NGI) come on?

Mine does not. No clicks, no display, no hums, nothing when I press the throttle... nada.

The service manual in two different places mentions the system powering up upon lanyard insertion.

INSERT LANYARD INTO STOP SWITCH.
DOES THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
POWER UP? (YES/NO)

Ignition System - Inspection Procedure:
Insert lanyard into STOP switch. An audible
series of relay switching and clicking should
be heard.
Move the throttle flipper from closed to open
several times. The throttle plate must move
in conjunction with each throttle flipper
movement.
Verify that no 15AMP fuses are blown in the
engine fuse block.

Mine does nothing *until* I hit the starter button... even if I just tap the starter button (not long enough to actually start). Then I get all the clicks, hums and can hear the ETB open/close when I squeeze the throttle, etc.. I assume this is "powering up".

How do yours work?

Cheers!

Yours is working how they all do, no doubt the service manual or the ski would have been changed in the 2005 model!

Thanks Kosh!

I was thinking this was the case... and hoping. Thanks for confirming.

Even Desperado's instructions for installing the reflashed ECU mentioned first "waking up" the system by tapping the starter button.

Cheers!

Mine wakes up when I hit the blue button. No need to hit starter.

Mine wakes up when I hit the blue button. No need to hit starter.

Does that just wake up the display, or also wake up the engine systems?

Put the lanyard in w/o a peep. Once you hit the blue button, the display lights up for maybe 30-60 seconds, cannot remeber. Then turns back off. I am unsure about engine systems as I only do it when it is on the trailer. I check my gas level.

Well I'll be darn. Learn something new every day. I just tried it on mine in the garage.

Lanyard IN or OUT... pressing the blue "Gauge Mode" button wakes up the display and you can then scroll through the modes on it. But I hear no clicks, hums, or throttle response so it must not power up the system... just the display.

Thanks for sharing!

the blue button wont wake up the ecu. it just wakes up the dash. you have to press the start button to wake up ecu. (are you getting ppu sweep?) your fuel pump should prime too...
