Hi & welcome to the forum.

I'm not sure about the 4 stroke ski on what info you can get from the info gauge, but usually the fault codes need to be read by a dealer with a Seadoo computer reader or by the aftermarket Cando system. Some members here have one and highly recommend it.

What codes are you getting? Any beeps besides the 2 at the very beginning?
 
I am getting code p1505 witch is tops switch symptoms one beep when engine light comes on & stays on & ski cuts out at times then it can restart with no prob
 
Hit up the 4 stroke forum someone prob knows.


Welcome to the best seadoo site out there! If there is anything I can help with just let me know.
 
Similar to how you did your first post.
Go to home page,
scroll down until you see the 4 stroke PWC section,
Click on that,
click on "post new thread"
Then post your question again.

Yes I had this problem in an RXT 215hp 2006

I replaced the TOPS sensor and it still had the same problem. After taking it to 3 different jetski mechanics I decided to try and fix it myself.

I bought a multimeter and pulled the plug off the TOPS sensor and pulled the plugs out of the ECU. I put one of the multimeter wires on the plug and went through all the connectors on the ECU plug to make sure there were no breaks in the wiring loom.

After discovering that the wires were all ok... I was stuck at to what it could be.

I then got a magnifying glass and inspected the ECU loom plugs. I noticed that one of the small pin plugs in the loom was not sitting properly like the rest of the plugs.

So I got the smallest bit of speaker wire and jammed it into the plug hole to try and get a better connection.

I hooked it up.. and never had the problem again.

This sounds dodgey, but better than replacing a whole wiring loom and a lot cheaper too.

Hope that helps
 
I will move this thread to the 4-tec forum and leave a 30 day redirect so you can easily find the post...

p1505 is not a TOPS problem, that is the older code system. p1502 is a TOPS problem with the newer code system. A 2006 TOPS is not even close to the same as a 2010 TOPS so please don't confuse him. The older TOPS system was electrical, the newer one is solely mechanical.

p1505 is an IBR problem as I recall but I'll have to check.

Only going by what the first post says mate, which states TOPS switch... I am not a walking diagnostic machine and its not my job to go around telling people what P1505 is or any other code for that matter... if your a walking encyclopaedia on Seadoo's then that's great... I am only telling my experiences and trying to be as helpful as possible... it wasn't my intention to confuse anyone.. Sorry 'Active' for misleading you and I will keep my experiences to myself next time.
