My 2002 seadoo GTX DI starts and it dies within seconds. Maintenance light comes on. Seems is in limp mode, how can i reset it. Last year it was tip over and i believe after that incident it started to act up and now will not idle.

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

@@Backyardigan951 Thanks for watching, any update? By chance is the engine shaking or knocking after it starts? The reason we ask is because it’s possible…however unlikely…that your Knock-Sensor is detecting knock and immediately shutting engine down. If that’s not the case, you may want to carefully disconnect battery, followed by disconnecting each connection point from your MPEM one at a time and leaving disconnected for 1 minute. Please keep us posted. 🧰

So I have (2) 2023 spark trixx 3 ups I bought at the same time. They both have about 9 hours on them and I’ve had them for four months, my friend was riding one on Sunday and said he was going about 22mph when it just cut off. So he tells me. I put the same gas in both of them in the morning so probably not fuel. I tried both keys with no luck, still a crank no start. My closest seadoo dealer is 2 hours away. Being new skis I’m wondering if there’s something simple I can check before I load it up and go to the dealer. Thanks in advance

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Good morning, just poured a cup of coffee and am sitting down to answer any and all questions for the DIY community. We would start with performing a system reset by disconnecting black negative cable from battery and leaving disconnected for a minimum of 5 minutes. Some leave disconnected for 30 minutes. After that, re-connect cable to battery and start engine. It’s likely that your ski is in limp-mode which is a built-in safety configuration.

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders ok, thanks for the quick response, I will give it a try and if that is the case my concern would be why it went into limp mode. I’ve been an ase certified auto technician for 31 years, but unfortunately I’m new to JETSKIs so I’m not familiar with the way everything works. I know when a car goes into limp mode it still runs, but with reduced power, anyway I’ll let you know what I find and I will post a youtube video to help the community in the future

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

@@jasont7887 We appreciate the follow up. If in limp mode, the onboard computer sensed something it didn’t like and configured itself into limp mode to protect other systems that would actually be affected in a negative way at high power settings. Could be as simple as low oil, low fuel, or something else.

Beeps for about 2 seconds, then gives 4 consecutive beeps every 10 seconds or so. No LCD feedback. Any ideas?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

What’s up Adrian, any update? How many volts is your battery showing? It’s best to have over 12v’s prior to engine start. 4-beeps can also be triggered when the engine is stuck in a position outside of FWD/Neutral/REV…which may be as simple as you moving the shifter back and forth a few times to get it back in a safe configuration for start.

They say 140 good compression . Well I had a plug blaster and the plugs to begin with were not black like I though they would be so cleaned put back in same no start . So I took coil out and was able to take off its little insulator and held coil electrode near bracket and want to see how well the spark jumps and if it is blue spark .

( $$$) A local dealer had replaced all the fuel lines with the new ones earlier. So there was only one thing to look at or replace. The fuel selector valve. And that was the culprit. The dealer mechanic had crossed 2 of the fuel hoses on the valve. After changing the hoses to the correct position, it runs like it should. Starts right up in a millisecond every time. Even after several stops and starts just works like a million bucks. Hope this helps.

2001 SeaDoo 951DX. Put the key on the post, get the beeps, and then the fuel pump just continues to run. No crank with the start stop button pressed, but I can jump the starter relay, and it starts. Won’t get full throttle, and after turning it off, it won’t restart for 20 to so minutes. Also “maintenance” flashes on the screen. Thought’s anyone?

Thanks for watching, you came to the right place. Sounds like your ski is in limp mode…which is a safety protection mode that decreases the allowable acceleration to prevent damage to engine while other parts are faulty. It may be as simple as replacing your starter relay and reconnecting battery and starting engine. If your starter relay was faulty prior to replacing it, the new one will send the proper signals to your MPEM and disengage limp mode. Please keep us posted. 🧰

[@BrianMiller4802]

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders WOW, thanks Mike for the quick reply! The limp mode sounds plausible, and since the starter relay, we did replace the battery and rode it. Seems to still be in limp mode though.

@@BrianMiller4802 Thanks for the reply, so the Starter Relay has been replaced…?…and it’s still in limp mode? Keep us posted.

[@BrianMiller4802]

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders yes.

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

@@BrianMiller4802 Awesome. Try disconnecting battery for 5 minutes which will allow your system to reset. If that doesn’t help, you may need to carefully disconnect each of the large plastic connectors feeding into your MPEM followed by re-connecting them…this is also a reset procedure. It’s unlikely however are you using your normal DESS key or your yellow key? Yellow is programmed for reduced acceleration “limp mode” only.

I have 1995 seadoo, it doesn’t start on its own when we jumpstart it, it will, but after it won’t stay on, changed and charged the battery but still the same. Any ideas?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Good morning, just poured a cup of coffee and am sitting down to answer any and all questions for the DIY community. How old is battery…?…if older than 3 years…we recommend installing a new battery. If battery is still less than 3 years old, you may have a faulty Rectifier/Voltage Regulator. Below is a link to our video showing replacement of this part. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2mUmpqgmLJ-jK8 Let us know if you have any questions and hey if you’re into crypto trading, join our DIY ecosystem. toolboxtoken.com Reach out to us any time! 🧰

Why are we saying Jet Ski when it’s a Sea Doo? Made me not click first 3 times

[@MetalHawk47]

Sea Doo is the brand of jet ski, calling every jet ski a sea Doo would be like calling every car a Chevy.

[@johanpolson4547]

Dude a jetski is a model on personal watercraft made by Kawasaki so you are calling everything a chevy already

[@tacodude8659]

No one cares

[@noahdonegan3861]

I never owned a jet ski before this is the first time I have a 2002 SeaDoo bombardier with a stop and start button.. how does the fuel pump come on before engine start?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for watching, sounds like you have a Direct Injection (DI) engine. Once you connect DESS key to DESS post, it activates the fuel pump to properly prime engine with fuel prior to engine start.

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders okay when I put the DSs key on the fuel pump does not power up. Do I need 12 volts to the wires there are two wires

@@michaelmckenna6852 Thanks for the reply. You do indeed. You may have a blown fuse down inside electrical panel inside hull…that’s very common.
