    2017 Volvo Penta 240 V6 Alarm Going Off

    All these new motors need to be scanned unless there is a built in device like Mercs vessel view Start with checking/cleaning your connections, might have some corrosion which makes the PCM reading voltage low. If that doesn't do it, measure voltage at alternator and key switch

    Erroneous oil change warning?

    I think Fords are the worst for oil change notifications. Buddy has a 2022 F3500 with under 6000 miles and the truck ask for an oil change every 6 months (we think). There is nothing in the manual so far as when (mileage or time)

    4.3GL VP Fuel Pump Issues

    30 has full time 12V and need to see if 87 gets power when 12V is applied to either 85 or 86. I say either because the manufacture could use either one for 12V and the other is ground. Should be a yell/red wire on one side and black on the other. Apply 12V to yell/red and see if 12V is at 87...

    High Copper and Lead in Cat 3406E

    Welcome My finds are the copper is to high. Normal is below 30 ppm so agree it indicates bearing wear. Either not taken care of or incorrect lube.

    Mercruiser 3.0 EST timing issue

    Welcome, and sorry no one responded The EST ignition is one of those mystery system that doesn't have a clear test method to determine what the issue(s) are.

    Penta V6-280 alarm in with DTCs 1155 and 1157

    Welcome The dealer should know better but if they fogged the motor then the fogging oil would have coated the O2 and other sensors. This can cause all kinds of problems. Don't know if the dealer would admit to it if they did. Do check fuel pressure and see if it's 50-60 psi.
