That engine has an onboard diagnostic software program that will tell you what is wrong. Pull out your service manual and turn to the troubleshooting section. It will then tell you how to run the suite and how to read the codes.

There are a variety of electronic and mechanical refinements on the B model...Enough to where the service manual for one does no good for the other.

Your best hope is to take the engine into an authorized Tohatsu dealer who is trained and equipped to diagnose your engine....If that is not possible you will need the factory service manual to operate the engine's on-board diagnostic computer.

You need to contact Tohatsu in Japan for assistance. You need a trained, experienced, technician to diagnose and repair your engine. Modern outboards are not designed to be worked on by people with desire...They are designed to be worked on by people with specific training.

You should buy an engine model that's well supported, known mechanically speaking and with parts availability in your country, other than that, you are throwing your money in middle ocean. First catasthropic experience will serve you on next purchase!!

Happy Boating

No codes = No engine problems as far as the sensors are concerned. That means the problem could be anything. Time for a visit to a dealer.

Could be anything from a prop issue, water in the hull or even throttle cable issues.
