Help save the rest of our Club's season

[jpwhit]

Our ski club has a 2012 Nautique 200 and the Pedal Position Sensor has failed. It's PCM part number R119005, but that part has been replaced by R119005A. With the revised "A" part the ECM has to be reflashed with new calibration file(s). The Nautique dealer within driving distance of us can't get us in for many weeks. I have Diacom and am 100% comfortable flashing the ECM, I just need the appropriate calibration file(s). I'm hoping someone here can help our club out by sending me the required calibration file(s). Trying to avoid missing the end of our season as the weather is closing in us. We normally ski through most of November.

 

If someone has the file(s), can you send them to john dot whitfield at gmail dot com. If the file is too big to be sent as an email attachment, I'm happy to provide a google drive link such that the file(s) can be uploaded to my google drive. Thanks in advance.

FWIW , i know that on the Mastercraft the potentiometer can be buy from Mouser...

No idea about the Nautique. Good luck!

It's not a problem getting the revised part. It's readily available for a reasonable price, I just have to have the updated ECM calibration files for it to work properly.

 

Like Mastercraft, the actual electronic sensor module is made by a 3rd party and could be replaced independently if it could be acquired. But, this particular sensor is made by Wabash. But Wabash is no longer in business and the sensor module is no longer available through any electronic supply houses. I assume this is likely the reason for there being a revised "A" part with different characteristics.

The nautique dealer can sneak you in to flash an ECM? I don’t know much but it seems like that would be a quick parking lot task?

My mechanic had to go to the PCM rep to get the file. Can the dealer get you a copy of the file?

If your Diacom has not been unlocked by PCM by them giving you an unlock code, you will not be able to use it to flash an ecm. You may be able to fedex the ecm to pcm and have them do it.

I flashed a friend's '08 last fall for the revised throttle position sensor and have the file, but it is for an 08 6 liter, what engine do you have in the boat?

What a p.i.t.a for a 2012 boat...

+1 for older boats…..

[jpwhit]

It's a PCM EX343 5.7L

great customer service

Tim White from Inboard Solutions flashed one for me this summer!

Also sold me the new potentiometer and mounting bracket! I shipped him the ECM and he had a quick turn around!

[Jody_Seal]

I need to know engine model # .

Pm me, if I can get your email will get you an update file for diacom..

[jpwhit]

Thanks @Jody_Seal, sent you a PM.

I have a brand new one that I have been trying to sell for weeks on Planet Nautique. But it is part #RA119004. Not sure it would work for you as I think it’s for the 330 but would make you a good deal if you could use it.

[jpwhit]

Thanks for the offer, but i doubt it'll work. It's a difference connector and it's a 5 wire interface vs 6 wire for RA119005.

I am fortunate to have a 08 CC Ski Nautique 196 Limited with PCM 343 EX 5.7L with Zero Off. The check engine light comes on when the boat is idling in neutral but goes off when it's throttled up(in or out of gear). A local independent marine mechanic used a TechMate Pro to determine the need for a new Pedal Position Sensor(engine-mounted potentiometer in PCM speak). Is a Diacom required to update the ECM from RA119005 to RA119005A, or can a TechMate Pro be used for it? https://www.mniboats.com/PCM-Throttle-Control-Position-Potentiometer-Assemb-p/ra119005a.htm  

Fortunately, I can ski with friends, but I want to get this sorted out soon.

@Jody_Seal & @skiinxs skinnxs I will message you directly to see if we can arrange to update my ECM via shipping.

You need Diacom.  If you can't get it done locally you can also send it directly into PCM and they will turn it around quickly.  The service advisory has the information.

[vtjc]

PCM will update the ECM for $50, plus return shipping. I am shipping it there today.

I got exceptional service from PCM for my fifteen-year-old boat and engine. They replied promptly to my inquiry from their website and answered my question on the phone. More importantly, they got my ECM Thursday morning, updated it, and returned it to UPS that afternoon. From diagnosis to repair, I was back in the water in a week.
