• Yamaha FX SHO, FZS or FZR PWC 2008 - 2015
• Yamaha VXR, FX, GP1800 PWC 2016+

Yamaha introduced RiDE (Reverse with Intuitive Deceleration Electronics) electric braking in 2016 VXR models. The extra features required an updated Adaptor Loom and a second KTC variant for dash communications.

The new loom is compatible with all model year variants.

2008 - 2015 FX SHO, FZS and FZR models continue to use the existing 61140 KTC device with either the original 61234 loom or the new 61401 Adaptor Loom.

2016+ VXR, FX and GP1800 models use the new 61294 KTC250 device with the new 61401 loom.

The M130 Yamaha FX SHO plug-in ECU closely mimics the standard OEM operation. With the following operational differences when the kit is installed:

• The M130 Marine ECU engine control functionality is the same as the standard factory ECU; all normal operations on the PWC are possible.
• The M130 Marine ECU controls the Yamaha Instrument Cluster and mimics the original factory dash operation. The ECU controls the dash via the KTC (K-Line to CAN) data adaptor.The KTC receives CAN messages from the ECU, and then transmits K-Line messages to the instrument cluster. CAN messaging from the M130 to the KTC is fixed.
• To prevent engine damage, the following dash alarms and revolution limits are provided:

  Sensor	Value	Dash Alarm	Rev Limit
  Engine Temperature	88 ºC	Yes	4500 RPM
  Muffler Temperature	96 ºC	Yes	4000 RPM
  Oil Pressure	None	Yes	4000 RPM

Cooling

When a PWC Plug-In ECU is fitted, the engine power will increase. The standard Yamaha cooling system might not be sufficient in its supply of water to the engine and over-heating can occur. It is important to check that the cooling system is working adequately.

The maximum engine temperature should be 88 ºC (190 ºF). If your engine overheats, the dash alarm will come on and the revolutions will be limited to 4500 rpm.

A further precaution is controlled by the Race Time system. When the engine uses full throttle for extended periods, the engine tuner can adjust Compensation tables to reduce engine temperature. The fuel mixture can be enriched using the Race Time Fuel Mixture Aim Compensation table and the ignition timing can be retarded using the Race Time Ignition Timing Compensation table.

Power Control Functions

The standard Yamaha WaveRunner uses an Immobiliser and Start button to power up the craft. If the Immobiliser is unlocked, press the Start button on the left handlebar will start and run the engine.

The installation of the PWC Plug-In ECU bypasses the Immobiliser, rendering the PWC permanently unlocked.

Otherwise it follows the same strategy with the following provisions:

• If the engine is not started or is stopped for a period longer than 60 seconds, the M130 Marine ECU turns off its own power. Power is not re-applied until the Start button is pressed again for an engine start.

• When making tuning adjustments to the M130 Marine ECU using M1 Tune software, an ECU reset may be required. In this case, power is removed from the ECU and the Ethernet connection to the PC software is halted.

  To re-connect, press the Start button for a short time until the engine has cranked, or for a longer time if you want the engine running. The Ethernet connection should re-establish and you may continue with tuning adjustments.

• Using the Power-up Adaptor Plug if the ECU needs to be powered for longer than 60 seconds without the engine running, for example when sending new firmware, the ECU power should be controlled externally. For this purpose, a separate 2 pin plug is fitted to the Adaptor Loom. Connect the two pins in this plug together via a switch to turn on the ECU power relay.

  When finished, the switch should be removed to return to normal power control operation so that the ECU has control of the power relay. Failure to do so will cause the battery to go flat.

Security

The standard Yamaha Immobiliser system uses a Key Fob transmitter to Lock/Unlock the PWC. If the immobiliser is locked, the Start button will not crank the engine, thus preventing operation. When the PWC Plug-In ECU is installed, an Immobiliser Bypass device renders the craft permanently unlocked.

It is important to secure the craft when not in use, for example, by removing the Immobiliser Bypass.

RiDE (Reverse with Intuitive Deceleration Electronics) 2016+ VXR, FX and GP1800 Models

In these models, a reverse lever on the left side handlebar is configured similarly to the normal throttle lever.

Yamaha’s original behaviour for these systems is that the reverse lever operates both the reversing bucket and the throttle, unlike competitor Sea-Doo.

Many users prefer the Sea-Doo method where the reverse lever operates the bucket only, with the normal throttle lever always controlling the throttle.

The M1 solution allows either control method. The Reverse Lever Throttle Aim table will take control of the throttle if its value is greater than zero when the reverse lever is used.

Yamaha OE Control Method

Enter values in the table to conservatively open the throttle when the reverse lever is applied.

Example:

Alternate Control Method (Similar to Sea-Doo)

Enter zero values in all table cells so that the reverse lever does not control the throttle when applied. In this method, the reverse lever operates the bucket and the normal throttle lever operates the throttle.

Example:

• Launch Control:

  This system aids initial take-off by means of ignition retard, engine speed limiting and boost aim control. It also provides fuel volume trimming to assist exhaust cooling.

  Engine speed limiting during launch uses the Launch Engine Speed table and Launch Engine Speed Margin. The primary means of control is ignition retard.

  While Engine Speed is above Launch Engine Speed, the Ignition Timing Limit Advance system attempts to control Engine Speed using closed loop control of ignition timing. If Engine Speed exceeds (launch Engine Speed + Engine Speed Margin), a hard limit (ignition cut or/and potentially fuel cut) is applied. This allows turbocharged engines to develop boost pressure prior to launch.

  The activation state of the launch system is reported by State and further information about why launch is inactive is reported by Diagnostic.

• No Wake Mode

  The No Wake Mode system assists in slowly cruising through no-wake zones.

  These conditions must be met for no wake mode to enable:

  • No Wake Mode Button must be On for 1.0 seconds
  • Reverse Switch must be Off
  • Throttle Lever must be less than 2.0%
  • Engine Run Time must be great than 0 seconds

  Once No Wake Mode is enabled it will disable if any of the following occur:

  • No Wake Mode Button transitions to On
  • Reverse Switch transitions to On
  • Throttle Lever exceeds 20%
  • Engine Run Time is 0

  During operation of the No Wake Mode system ThrottleAim is set to the value of the No Wake Mode Throttle table.

  The No Wake Mode Button is also used as the Race Time Reset Switch, regardless of whether the No Wake Mode is enabled.

• Reverse

  Reverse operation differs between the FX SHO models and VXR Models. On FX SHO models, Reverse activation is via the Reverse Switch. On VXR models, activation is via the Reverse Lever.

The update firmware which handles VXR operation has several changes when compared with the previously released version:

• Anti-Lag Ignition Timing is now called Anti-Lag Ignition Timing Limit Advance. Behaviour is unchanged.
• Communications CAN Bus Speed is now a setting because the VXR vehicle includes a 250kbit/sec CAN Bus, while the FX SHO vehicles had no CAN Bus and the M1 communicated with the KTC at 1Mbit/sec.
• Communications Boost Scale allows for correct display of boost pressure on VXR models with boost systems.
• Fuel Closed Loop Period table now has an Engine Speed axis added to the Exhaust Mass Flow axis.
• Ignition Timing Request has been removed.
• Ignition Timing Normal and Ignition Timing Stop Engine have been added.
• Launch Activate Throttle Position has been replaced by Launch Entry Throttle Position and Launch Exit Throttle Position.
• Launch Activate Delay has been removed.
• Launch Switch has been removed. This function is now controlled by the Race Time Reset Switch.
• Launch Ignition Timing is now called Launch Ignition Timing Limit Advance. Behaviour is unchanged.
• Launch Engine Speed Limit is now calculated from the Launch Engine Speed table plus an additional setting for Launch Engine Speed Margin.
• Launch Ignition Cut Request has been removed.
• No Wake Mode Button may now be used as the Race Time Reset Switch.
• Reverse group has additions (applies to VXR versions only) for Lever, Position, Command and State.
• Race Time Mode has been removed.
• Race Time Reset Switch is added, using the No Wake Mode Button as a source.
• Race Time Throttle Lever Compensation has been removed.
• Throttle Aim now includes an override from the Reverse Lever (where used).
