Copyright 2006 Rinda Technologies, Inc. 6 No EFI Battleground Heats Up As if the planets suddenly aligned themselves in the EFI universe, key marine engine manufacturers fired electronic shots over competitor's bows this past fall with the introduction of bold new EFI systems. Volvo Penta and Indmar both launched engines equipped with entirely new EFI control modules. Two new electronic control modules introduced by Volvo Penta and one by Indmar bring the total number of in-production ECM types to six for the sterndrive / inboard engine market. That is quite a contrast for an industry segment which only six years ago used a single type of electronic control module across virtually all engine brands. Marine technician's expertise will again be challenged this season as engine manufacturers, in their quest to satisfy increased performance demands as well as upcoming California emission regulations, utilize more sophisticated and diverse engine management systems. Sequential multi-port fuel delivery, electronic throttle control and in-vessel networking capabilities are among the new engine control system features being put into widespread use this year.

This past fall Volvo Penta began ramping up production of their new EGC equipped engines. The EGC or 'Electronic Gas Control' system, utilizes an ECM which is radically different from the electronic control modules Volvo had used on prior engines.

Volvo Penta engineers collaborated with an outside design firm to develop EGC and as a result, have created a fully sequential fuel injection system with unique performance and diagnostic capabilities. Two EGC system types are currently being produced, one with electronic New systems increase the mix for 2006 throttle control capabilities and a second system employing standard throttle and idle air control mechanisms. Either EGC system will present marine technicians with new service procedures, service terminology and completely new fault codes. In addition to these changes there is a new 8 pin engine diagnostic connector. Indmar is the first marine engine manufacturer to utilize GM / Delphi's new MEFI-5 control module.

MEFI-5 is a new breed of ECM which differs substantially from prior marine ECM modules offered by the GM / Delphi alliance. MEFI-5 offers fully sequential injection and is also equipped with a new high speed CAN communication link which supports both engine diagnostics and GM / Delphi s MEFI-5 Engine Control Module in-vessel networking. New diagnostic service procedures, fault codes and a new 6-pin diagnostic connector are but a few of the changes technicians will see on Indmar's 2006 MEFI-5 equipped engine line up. Software update kits for Rinda Technologies marine service tools are available for these new EFI systems. Please contact us for additional details.
