PWC Operational Differences
The PWC Plug-In ECU closely mimics the standard OEM operation. However, 
MoTeC would like to draw your attention to some operational differences 
when a PWC Plug-In ECU is installed. 
ECU Operation
The M400 Marine ECU engine control functionality is the same as the 
standard factory ECU; all normal operations of the PWC are possible, with the 
exception of Learner Key Mode and Knock Sensing. 
Instrument Cluster Operation
The M400 Marine ECU will control the Sea-Doo Instrument cluster and mimic 
the original factory dash operation. 
The ECU controls the dash via the STC (Serial to CAN) data adaptor; the
STC receives serial RS232 messages from the ECU, and then transmits 
messages to the instrument cluster. 
The serial RS232 transmit settings and the CAN custom data set are provided
in the Base Map and should not be changed. 
To prevent engine damage the following dash alarms and rev limits are
provided:
