Warning Horn
1995 Johnson/Evinrude 2-cylinder 40-55HP motors
A warning horn is built into the OMC prewired remote control or is part of the OMC accessory wiring harness. This feature alerts the operator to several critical operating conditions. Depending on the engine model, the conditions might be:
- Overheat - continuous tone
- No Oil - continuous short pulses
- Low Oil - short pulse every 40 seconds
Test
Note To avoid possible powerhead damage, be sure the warning horn is in operating condition. It is advisable to check the horn at the start of each boating season and periodically during the season.
- Disconnect bullet connector at temperature switch.
- Connect engine harness half of bullet connector to a clean engine ground.
- With the key switch in the ON position, the horn should sound. If the horn does not sound, but other electrical components function correctly, the horn or wiring may be damaged. Repair or replace as required.
