YDS Software Overview and How-To - Yamaha Jet Boat

[@Goldcountrymarine]

Freaking awesome! Thank you so much for making this video. I could not find that port to save my life! Much appreciated.

[@JeffDoesThis]

Glad I could help!

[@cdinicolo]

Super helpful video - Thanks for sharing!

[@cheetoz6902]

Thanks for the vid. Very informative

[@fff3136]

Thanks have been screwing with a no start issue on my jet boat hopefully this works/helps

[@jsanchez2454]

Hello. Do you know the yds location for a 2017 SX190? The service manual says in helm compartment but don't see any panels to open.

[@happy2bnfla]

I have been fighting this myself. Mine is a little different and I am pretty sure I have a bad data cable/3 pin adapter. I have everything installed correctly and port set to Com 1 and looks fine until I plug the 3 pin into the diagnostic port with key on. Immediately I get a message pop up that says USB Device not recognized! If I unplug the 3 pin connector and plug back in to any USB port I get that error. I uninstalled everything and start over this time with the 3 pin adapter unplugged from the serial converter and computer recognizes the converter. I plug 3 pin adapter in and it still recognizes the converter. But as soon as I plug 3 pin into diag on motor, Bam! Unable to recognize USB Device! Very frustrating to spend that many hours to narrow it down to the 3 pin adapter. On a side note, software I purchased off Amazon loads but will fail when I click update database so it never shows 1.33 I downloaded the YDS software from the You Tube link above and the software updated to 1.33. My motors are 2012 so it should be fine. I also have the Can Doo diag tool and it works fine except it only allows me to activate the high pressure pump The YDS allows both high pressure and lift pump as I got the software to work a couple times. Very frustrating! I have a different serial adapter coming in Tuesday.

Jeff On the question engine will not stop unless I shut battery switch oof. I pulled the key switch out by unplugging it and turned battery switch on and engine still turns over.

[@akitanner9217]

Are these cables and software available for Mercury outboards?

[@JeffDoesThis]

I believe it's called vessel view. That's all I know about it.

[@frenfaiman949]

Good job👍👍👍

[@JeffDoesThis]

Thanks

[@randynixon74]

Looks like the YDS 1.33 version is not compatible with my 2017 Yamaha FX SVHO :( Cant seem to find the YDS 2.0+ software for purchase or download. Surely someone out there can assist. Thanks.

[@williefairchild9067]

My YDS keeps tell me while I’m doing a injector test it says engine running or low fuel pressure and the engine is not running and the fuel pressure above 50

[@Luis3965]

Hi, Wich obd2 to usb converter Can I use? because I have already a yamaha 3 pin connector but not the obd2 to usb converter… thanks

[@macariomarin3149]

I have a 2013 Yamaha 115 so it may be the chip I install help me

[@JohnBraman413]

does this work for the newer 2021 boats also?

[@JeffDoesThis]

I think the 2021 boats are already above and beyond for noise damping. In 2015 Yamaha made a big change to quite everything down.

[@steveofarrell3313]

Hey Jeff. Thx for providing the AR230 KZbin Bible - I've used your vids for a number of upgrades. Question - I just upgraded the battery from OEM to a dual battery set-up very much the same as yours. Once everything was hooked up again and running I noticed that the SB engine light came on and won't let me run "no wake zone". Otherwise the engine operates perfectly fine. Thoughts?

[@JeffDoesThis]

I'm not sure. Sorry about that.

[@bens8374]

Would you be willing to send me a copy of the software? I have the cable but can not find a download for the YDS 1.33.

[@JeffDoesThis]

I can do that. I will add a download link in the description tomorrow. Look for it around 9 or 10am CST.

[@aboammar7674]

I tired to find this cable , even in amazon is not available , can you help me to find it pls 😭

[@moonasteskafatcha]

Hi Jeff, I have a 2018 SX190 jetboat. Will 1.33 get any info from my engine? If not is there a tool I can buy? Will M.E.D.S. work?

[@JeffDoesThis]

This only works up to 2017 model as far as I know. Not sure what you will need to get. Sorry

[@macariomarin3149]

Hi I can’t see what you are doing on my side It would nat let me do nothing maybe something wrong whit the usb

[@patricklauterio5502]

Jeff, Thanks for all the vids! I am a lot more comfortable with my recent purchase of a 2007 AR 230 because of you. A question.... What is the best way to determine port from starboard engine connection for the YDS?

[@JeffDoesThis]

When you bump the engine over to turn on the ecm(this is covered in the video), if you bump start the engine that is not connected to the YDS it will not communicate.

[@LAOHU1086]

有没有最新款得软件，2022年得有吗？或者哪里可以买呢

[@the4hunters]

Very awesome

[@JeffDoesThis]

Thanks!

[@FM-mb2lu]

We’ve followed what you did but the YDS is not connecting. Any suggestions? The computer or the YDS is not properly communicating. We changed the COM port to 1.

[@codylee9266]

Same for me. I got the program downloaded and updated properly but it won’t connect to the engine. Just gives an error message.

[@gregfiglia47]

Jeff do you have to open the access ports on both sides of the boat to do this or can you just open up one side and the port and starboard wires are there?

[@JeffDoesThis]

Both port and starboard connector are on the port side, just like in the video.

[@davidostrowski4685]

Jeff. Any idea if (1) yds works with outboard F50 / F60 hp? Also, through the software can you download firmware and / or upload firmware? For example, Could i download the firmware from a f60 and upload it to an f50?

[@JeffDoesThis]

I am sure on that. If you have a Yamaha dealer close by I would just ask their service dept and see if they the YDS is used across the board on their 4 stroke engine for certain years. If you find out post up a comment and let us know if you could.

[@canhle7974]

I want to buy it back to Vietnam, how can you help me?

[@RuiPoiares]

Hey there. I have 2 laptops. One with Windows 10 32 bits and Yamaha diagnostic software 1.3 works good. With thje other with Windows 11 do not work. Tried open ports but nothing,

[@JeffDoesThis]

I am going to do a video next week on installing YDS on windows 10 & 11.

[@Enrx90]

Thanks for the info brother... Does this supports 2015 Yamaha 242 ltds ??

[@JeffDoesThis]

I don't know? I would google it or call a yamaha dealer and ask them.

[@osbornebay944]

Hi Jeff. my laptop has no cd port to install yds 1.33, how to get a drive online? thx

[@JeffDoesThis]

Look in the description of the video and there is a link to download the software, it's labeled "YDS Software Download"

[@Nauticvarh.e]

Hola amigó podría facilitarme el enlace donde puedo comprar el módulo de diagnóstico.

[@orys1309]

[@JeffDoesThis]

Yes it can

[@fanzhan8487]

Hi.Jeff ,Do you have a Chinese version?

[@fanzhan8487]

YDS 1.33

[@JeffDoesThis]

The software is OEM Yamaha YDS but the cable they sell on ebay, amazon is just a cheap knock off.

[@garagedisaster3270]

what is suitable for 2020 242x?

[@JeffDoesThis]

I am not sure for a 2020 model. I would call Dealership and ask them what they use.

[@mariolemus6974]

how do u update the database? it says "Database not not found in disk" any clue? Great video nonetheless. Thanks.

[@JeffDoesThis]

Let me check and I will get back to you. If you don't hear anything from me in a week hit me back on the tread.
