Yesterday my Yanmar i5600 multi-function display showed an engine problem.
In the past, I believe the displays left hand hot key had been displaying three gauges: tach, oil pressure and water (coolant) temperature.
Yesterday the coolant temperature gauge was replaced with a gauge showing oil temperature. And the oil temperature value was displayed as "_ _ _" or no value as if a sensor had failed.
Either I am having a very senior moment and mis-remember this gauges title/function or it changed function on its own magically.
I went through the set-up menu and changed(?) the third gauge to displaying coolant temperature and it is reading the correct current ambient temperature of the coolant with the engine off of 67 degrees.
Does anyone else have this i5600 display with the left hot key set to display tach, oil pressure and a third engine temperature measurement? Have the gauges selected ever changed on their own? Is there an output on the Yanmar ECU for oil temperature? I cannot find a reference such a sensor in the Yanmar service manual. But page 12-15 does show a sensor an ECU output for engine coolant temperature.
I know I sound confused tonight because frankly I don't understand what happened....
